@Tod Danielsstarted a thread regards this. Showing stamps from April 1 at land border ...30 days.

Indeed that's his course of action if he plans to obtain his extension in friends province. He seems to suggest he will be doing extension in Bangkok. If the later is the case best option is not have his friend do a TM30.

OP, relax it's nonsense.

He won't need to do a TM30 when he stays on friends farm. It's not 100% clear but seems he will maintain his rental accommodation in Bangkok. When he attends CW for his extension he would take along screenshot of his TM30 that was done when he checked into his Bangkok rental.

You can obtain extension based on marriage from a non O-A. When doing so no insurance is required. OP.....When applying for extension from a non O-A based on retirement insurance is required When applying for extension from a non O retirement or marriage NO insurance requirement

The OP was quite clear. His plan is a stay of up to 90 days. His plan of tourist visa + 30 day extension is best option. He plans to be back in Bangkok where he is spending the majority of his stay and obtain a 30 day extension. He can use the TM30 that was done on his arrival. He cannot do the extension at any immigration office unless he does a TM30 in that province.

Just have your first accommodation file a TM30. Ask them to provide you with screenshot. Visit and stay on friends farm. Do nothing regards TM30. Return to Bangkok and when suitable apply for your 30 day extension. For the extension that can be obtained up till day of expiry of permit but best to do it prior to that. Couple of weeks in common. Not much point doing extension online. You can make appointment at CW. Here is link for appointment. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

Post about nothing. "Luckily, no problem, getting my third back to back visa exempt" All via air entry? Back to back, time between reentry Time between out of Thailand?. Your post lacks information

OP, you have many Threads. Some in health forum. Check out "lack of attention disorder"

Ground breaking news.

Did you take some supply, gifts (food) donations or was just weird Zoo excursion for you.

Because it's not required. I gave the OP a pm with details. Actually pretty much what @scubascuba3 posted. The OP has been given correct information.

Online reprt will accept after reentry. No need to attend in person. When you do autofill remember to change your entry date.. There is no TM6 field and that's suspended anyway so that's of no concern. Also no need to do a new TM30

Why start to complain. You have 3 threads about gaming the system and still complain. I have no issue with that but give us a break. Thailand has so so many flexible visa options from visa exempt entry to SETV, METV, Non ED, list goes on. You mention Australia. For me to take my Thai partner to Oz it is certainly not simple process. You currently don't have a non ED and complain about not able to "travel to several countries" during application process. Obtain a non ED outside of Thailand at nearby consulate.

It's only a joke due to OP almost zero engagement. Happens ofen. If he had provided clear details when asked by experienced posters he may have received answers. He provided sfa.

Please report back with a report re Monday immigration. Will assist others. This is not uncommon.

Exactly. Bit of added info to give OP bit of confidence. My last extension at CW ....I had a chap I chatted to waiting for que ticket. Anyway he was 5 day overstay visa exempt. At that time extension for visa exempt was done at MTT. Explained that and as I was leaving and offered short car drive to MTT. Cut to the chase he LINE me later that he paid overstay and obtained extension. Hopefully same will work out for the OP. Worst case (as you point out) he pays overstay his extension refused and given 7 days to get out of Dodge.

Yes there is a possibility. He should be ok. Yep nervous wait for op however it's a common thing. His other option is to fly out. Pay fine at airport and return after short break. If he qualifies for visa exempt entry to Vietnam could be nice option. Depends where he is located.

Do nothing right now. When you attend immigration for your non O application have with you the first tm30 and lease you mentioned in OP.

You should be fine to pay overstay and apply for extension.

I'm not sure as well before my time. Years and years back there were far fewer immigration offices and I vaguely recall reference to police stations providing few services. Eg 90 day reports etc. Not any longer.

Was bit of a strange experience for me. I had never done a TM47 for my first 7 years pre covid due to exit/reenter every month. So covid hit and I needed 90 report in person and same visit residence certificate. Both at MTT. For 90 report I had my lease. Not required. The imm officer desk A, just asked that's where I live looking at my lease. I said yes. And done. That was it. Then moved to residence certificate desk B Had some basic copies of pp. She only wanted my TM47. Now of course that's not normal, however my personal experience. Will be funny if/when I go to my condo office and ask for TM30 screenshot as I have been same room for 10 years and never done one.

Looks like I will be up for two trips. Been here for 10 years and I have never even made a TM30. However thanks for checking. My last residence certificate was 2 years ago at MTT and I provided the basic pages of pp. And most important seemed to be my TM47 receipt photocopy. Added note never supplied a TM30 for my extensions. However things change. Previously have never supplied TM47 for extensions retirement however out of the blue last Nov CW wanted one for my annual extension. I don't like immigration offices.

Interested in this list as I need to obtain residence certificate soon for 5 yr TDL. That's a very extensive list and wonder how much was actually provided rather than requested. In particular TM30. Original Non O TM6.

My take on it is that the current extension is based on marriage. If divorce occured then your permission of stay would end. Guessing immigration want to see a genuine change from based on marriage to retirement.
