Ubonjoe posted useful links in the above thread.

Your thread was asking about 6 months stay and that has been answered. As for a ME Non O (marriage) one year visa you can obtain that from Savannakhet (and other places). Easy requirements. You can obtain a non O marriage or retirement (90 day visa) followed by 12 month extension. Financials required. I find the visa and visa exempt options available in Thailand excellent.

I previously used to bring in cash from Oz and exchange at super rich green. Mostly 30k aud. Just now I checked $40k aud using lug it from Oz and use super rich OR use Wise with online banking. Wise better by 2,600baht

To exit and reenter prior to expiry of visa and be stamped in for 12 months you would require insurance for that period. Do you have a valid non O-A or have extension to a non O-A. Edit: just read that you "renewed" your visa. What you mean is that you obtained an extension. The visa is not extended but rather your permission of stay is extended.

Indeed it was. Always someone around to sign off on something when grease is applied.

Immigration most likely require you to provide a TM30. Checking into most hotels they file a TM30 and can give you screenshot.

Strange how if you use an agent there is no under consideration period.

Thankyou ubonjoe. How easy is that. My report is now pending. Hopefully this whiz bang new system will continue with no hitches. Such a quick simple process.

Hopefully can post question about online report here. So just now started to fill in my online report. The issue is address. I cannot recall on my previous online report I included my room # or not. Sounds trivial however as I understand it the info must match exactly your previous report. Wishing I had taken screenshot of last time I fill in the information.

New Zealand is a mini vacation from Australia not Thailand. Tickets from Thailand to NZ would be expensive and long and involve a stopover. If you wish to go to NZ do it, but not as a visa run.

You could obtain a tourist visa at Vientiane. Depends where your staying in Thailand. Keep in mind that you could also do 2 border bounce for visa exempt entry. With extension to each that's 4 months.

The answer to most of your questions is No. There are a zillion threads on this topic. Google "Elite Visa AseanNow" and all the information is there. Also an interesting thread of a review concentrating on the negatives.

Police arrive where? ...... The OP is aware of his options. Some have suggested apply for extension which will be rejected and be given 7 days to exit OR just exit with one day overstay. Simple. Up to him.

This is very boring. The thread you refer to about having funds on your person for visa exempt entry, I was correcting you. 10k for individual and 20k family Also that it had to be in cash. As for onward flight I always state that onward flight may be asked for by airline. So does our expert ubonjoe. As for the OP he has 2 options. Go to immigration and request an extension and when denied will be given 7 days to exit Thailand and pay 1900 for application. Other choice is to exit Thailand with one day overstay. In most likelihood he will not be fined. Has nothing to do with showing delayed flight. I also note several others have suggested to just exit, uj being one.

Or breaks a leg walking into airport.

Couldn't care less. Very happy to return to using mail in option. Zero concerns.

You can obtain another tourist visa at nearby consulate. OR you can do border bounce and obtain visa exempt entry. You can make two visa exempt entries via land border per calendar year.

Disagree with you on this one. Even for PE visa application there would be no negative impact. It's not uncommon for flight delays that can cause one day overstay. 100% the OP should just fly out.

When does it go into the gazette. Cutting it fine as usual.

Tourist visa + 30 day extension = 90 days. Border run for visa exempt entry + 30 day extension. = 60 days. Wash and repeat border run = 60 days. Total 7 months OR enter step 1 visa exempt instead of tourist visa total 6 month.

You don't need an agent. All you need to do is exit and reenter prior to expiry of your non O-A visa. You will be stamped in for another 12 months. Be aware that if you wish to exit and return in that 12 months you will need to buy a reentry permit either multiple or single. Now do some research on what insurance you need to obtain for that period.

Good advice. Also with TP and insurance getting the flick July 1 and land borders getting back to normal, nothing stopping visa run to nearby consulate..or border bounce for another visa exempt entry. All depends on desired length of stay required.

Had to read that 3 times. Crazy idea. Forget it.

As others have pointed out just purchase a multiple reentry permit 3800baht. Forget the UK pp. BTW reentry permit is a stamp that takes half a page. You can obtain at airport upon departure.

I rent out couple of places using an agent and always with a 12 month lease. My agent organizes the TM30 and provides tenant with what is required namely receipt.
