Do nothing.

Do you plan to obtain an extension to your visa exempt entry?

When was that. Think that is no longer an option. Also the OP is UK

No worries

Hell yes contact immigration. Make sure you look at every page to make sure it was io error. Have never read of that happening. Incorrect date sure. That happens. No entry stamp. That would be a first.

You must have received a stamp. Visa exempt currently would give you a stamp with 45 day permission of stay.

Opening a bank account is not as simple one would think. Especially in Bangkok.

Give the wife 10-20k to go to immigration for your next extension based on marriage. Problem solved.

BTW: If you decide to use the appointment link (ripper option) Make sure you bring a hard copy printout of appointment confirmation email. A screenshot does not cut it.

Ingrown toenail? And the hospital only required TDL. Magic.

You were unlucky 2022. Assuming you had not changed address. TM30 is not required at CW for extensions based on retirement.

Provided you have a Thai bank account in your name most likely best to return visa exempt and apply for non O retirement asap after arrival. Requires 800k in Thai bank on day of application. Would need to demonstrate funds came from abroad. That gives you 90 day stamp. In last 30 days of that permit obtain a 12 month extension Requires 800k in Thai bank for 2 months.

Indeed. I recently did trip to Vietnam with eVisa. This pic shows the Red exit/reentry stamps from Thai imm and the other for Vietnam.

Nothing has changed. As stated above...there in post in attached thread with advice. Think I put link for appointment also which works a treat.

Which immigration office would help. Also income method or money in bank. This thread has info and in post from uj has his list of general requirements link. https://aseannow.com/topic/1272122-2022-updated-requirements-and-or-process-for-extension-based-on-marriage/

In the last 30days of the 90 day permission of stay you apply for 12 month extension. The 800k would need to have been in the bank for 2 months.

From random Google search for being admitted to Thai hospital "What to Bring Passport with immigration stamp (Arrival stamp by Thai Immigration Bureau)" OP, leave your pp at home. Just don't break your leg.

This was your first contribution.... "By law, a foreigner in Thailand must carry passport on their person at all times. In practice, when checking into hotels and am asked for "passport", I just hand over Thai driver licence and that has always been enuf.".... Which means nothing in regards to the OP. The guy is going on a one month trip involving an island and driving a car. To not take passport is insane. Then you type about checking into hotels. Check in is of little/no concern.

Did you even read the OP, The guy is going on a holiday for ONE month and driving a car and on an island. Madness to even consider not traveling with his passport. Surely this thread is a wind-up

Silly throw away comment. Passport is absolutely required for some things. Would be very foolish to travel to an island and also driving to not travel with passport. Those suggesting otherwise are giving very poor advice. The OP appears to be living in Thailand (expat) and to even start this thread is quite ridiculous.

What do you hand over in a hospital or bank

Stick to the OP He did not ask about PE visa etc

OP, the above experts gave you good info. Being from Germany your embassy still provides you with "income letter" which gives you option to use "income method" The alternative is "money in bank method" Either way what is critical is for you to have Thai bank account in your name only. Do you have that?

Just to be clear. Visas are not extended. Your non O provided you with a 90 day permission of stay. That visa is used. Your subsequent extensions are just extension of your permission of stay. You also state..... "There are always those who say they never get asked for one or the other or both - I was not asked for Tm30 but I provided a TM47. I had to provide TM30 docs for transfer stamps to new passport and 90 day report." Guess I'm one of those as have been here 10 years on extensions based on retirement and have never filed a TM30. You also post.... "They prefer Lease, Owner ID and housebook.". Indeed that is what's required. BTW signed by owner. Not lease and utility bill. However sometimes accepted.

CW most likely would not accept a TM30 based on lease and utility bill. You also state the following... "Immigration made extension of visa dependent on the TM30" Visas are not extended. Extensions of stay basically fall into couple of groups. For those obtaining annual extension a TM30 should not be required. However some rubbish offices require one. For 30 day extension to tourist visa and visa exempt entry then usually a TM30 is necessary.
