He is not obtaining an extension based on marriage. Read OP again.

Well you have already been here for 2 months. You can obtain 30 day extension to that stamp. Next you could fly to Saigon for another tourist visa. Be aware that Saigon Thai consulate requires appointment and booked out weeks in advance. Also being from USA you require 30 day eVisa for Vietnam. Simple process. $25 usd. Vientiane is another good place for tourist visa however also requires appointment. You are permitted 2 border bounce visa exempt entries per calendar year. Every entry can be extended by 30 days.

You should obtain a METV while in USA. That gives 9 months and you can add border bounce after that with 30 day extension.

Please report back with HH update. You are being generous stating that some immigration offices have different interpretations. I prefer to call them rogue. The rules are clear. Nothing to interpret. It's clear that (by the rules) you should not require a filing of TM30 in the OP you outline.

That will work no problem. Being done all the time. The main reason being to kill off non O-A. In some cases, including yours, it can be to stuff up with the money in bank requirements. As I posted in another of your threads you could have opted to use agent for this extension and simultaneously meeting financials for following extension and doing that yourself.

Think CM also make their own rules. So as with many things it's up to the immigration offices. Some of which do not follow the clear rules relating to TM30 requirements.

From Bangkok one option is to fly to Udon Thani and border crossing at Nong Khai. Reenter same day friendship bridge.

You do nothing. You are not changing address. I live in Bangkok and stayed on Koh Samed for 8 months during covid. If you are away from home province when 90 report is due then just do it online or via mail.

You would be stamped in for 60 days every time that you enter Thailand on a valid METV. Note that each entry can be extended by 30 days. What type of visa you opt for depends a lot on your long term plans. If indeed you plan to spend significant time in Thailand every year then a Non O retirement with subsequent extensions and reentry permit could be best option. However that requires you to maintain funds in Thai bank or use agent.

This question has come up previously. One thread started by @spambot also wanted to obtain eVisa while in Vietnam to enter Thailand. Also another thread here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1265130-get-e-visa-when-out-of-the-uk/

The guy is on a plane now. Bit late for bus from PP.

OP, excellent pick up. We all love the bloke. Visa forum need him sooo much.

Yes return same day. Google Maneerat visa agent. Soi post office.

Read OP posts. He is currently boarding flight to thailand. He cannot provide/show the 20k. He already stated that he has onward flight. Regarding rental contract that would actually harm his chances of entry.

In your other thread I asked if you had an appointment at Thai consulate HCMC. You replied yes. Is your intention to obtain a eVisa for tourist visa for Thailand and use that to enter Thailand from Vietnam??.

Please do update. Many will be interested. Best of luck.

Did one few weeks ago. Took exactly 3 business days. Weekends don't count. Apply on a (eg) Monday you should have it emailed to you Thurs. BTW don't panic ....you can use one of the agent firms and they offer different levels of express service but it ain't cheap. Here is link to one of many agents if you have issue https://vietnam-online.org/index.php/prepare-your-travel-to-vietnam-2022-202/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAo-yfBhD_ARIsANr56g7MvHf4ofTLEHxAkrVtmPG9Negc0vFCvdPB-zfy75Q02ocPrkDOs2oaAjY7EALw_wcB

Stop. The OP reply was directed to my two separate questions. My first question was ...do you have onward flight. My second question was which airport BKK or DMK. His answer was .... Yes has onward flight and Flying into BKK.

Was company in Pattaya and referring to Cambodia border? A flight to Vientiane or Udon Thani and reenter at friendship bridge would have been fine. However you have your Saigon trip in order so all good. Was there week ago. Ripper joint.

You quoted the OP .... And this is what he stated.... "Yes I have an onward flight ticket" What bit didn't you understand. An onward flight means flight out of Thailand in the future. The OP has one.

From Pattaya best to use visa run agent to Cambodia. Check out Maneerat Soi post office.

Onward flight is referring to out of Thailand.

Good answers to both. One piece of advice. When questioned by immigration officer (may not be) .... Have a clear precise outline of your plans. Have hotel address on the ready to show. Book maybe ones pay at hotel . Don't bring a gf or other distractions into conversation. Have onward flight handy to show on screenshot etc Good luck. Think you will be fine.

No. Those flights are not refundable. Do you have the onward flight to show airline at PP airport? Is the flight into BKK or DMK

Tomorrow is Monday so no problem. Easy to say don't judge You are in Cambodia with very little funds or ATM access.
