The OP most likely is asking for recommendation of an agent to obtain 12 month extension based on retirement.

Which immigration office do you deal with.

It's actually an "extension based on retirement" By way of example I just searched "extension retirement CW with agent AseanNow" The screenshot attached shows all the threads on that question.

Think it's 30. Avoid time slot 8.30am The same time the banks open. Gives very little time for bank letter etc.

Read the threads in this forum. Here is a tip..,..for example google "current requirements for extension retirement CW AseanNow" Make sure to include AseanNow at end. That brings up all the threads on that question. Much better than AseanNow search. Any comments from ubonjoe take that as 100% correct advice.

No

So do you plan to have dealings with immigration. Why is TM30 of interest?

Did you read my post. CM are off the charts regarding this issue You should not need to file new TM30. However CM against the rules require this.. Rogue office . TM30 has nothing to do with TM47. Go to your rubbish office.

If payment not yet processed .. Bin it and start over.. If that eVisa dose not allow you to review and edit the application, then bin it.

OP, your post is almost incomprehensible. Guessing you plan to enter Thailand visa exempt. That would require onward flight for airline at departure. Companies such as "onwardticket.com" can provide that. Accepted by airlines. Not requested by immigration on arrival.

Immigration will not refuse 30 day extension when apply at immigration office in Thailand. Your previous two post are nonsense. Stop asking for a "friend" Previously you posted... "Just wondering, Do immis know if farang's been outside of Thailand?" Of course they do.

I have quoted you previously. The only reason you are not on ignore is that feel need to correct your rubbish. Please post One sensible post.

Yes. You can It's actually 60 day extension to visit wife.

There are approx 75 immigration offices in Thailand. I suggest that for example in this topic there are very few offices playing games. Perhaps to screw folk or just greed. I would suggest Cw as they are the gold standard of the actual correct requirements. Even they randomly can change requirements. My last 2 annual extensions at CW required TM47 and 8 prior to that did not. Rubbish

No it does not. It's all about continuity of permission of stay. Traveling throughout Thailand and even international travel with a reentry permit does NOT require a TM30 upon return to your home address. That TM30 is required if you do change of address. Different from just random changes. The TM30 laws were changed June 2020. Sadly CM decided to ignore that. Stupid office

You are overlooking one word ..AGENT. May as well post in a thread commenting on crowded immigration on arrival and someone chips in with... "I have agent meet me at airport and provide express lane" The OP was not using an agent and his run around from immigration was very clear. So how much was this hand holding service.

Up to recent times 30 day extension to tourist visa is done at CW. Extension to visa exempt done at LakSi. Google IT mall LakSi. It's on the new Red line.

In other words your post is irrelevant as you used an agent. Read post above yours referring to agent. Out of interest cost of agent and name would assist others thinking of agent

No problem. BTW: If I had to deal with that rubbish immigration office, I would do everything using an agent. Have my agent pick up pp and drop it back to Soi 8 Beach Rd.

First up CM is the most ROGUE office regarding TM30. You could consider an agent given long drive. There are threads for online TM30. Hopefully someone using that option will be along to advise. Think @Red Phoenix has some advice regarding this.

You state "extra week or two" .. You need a 30 day extension. You will require a TM30 and basic copies from pp. You did not give your hotel your pp so they did not make a TM30. The 7 days you ask about is irrelevant. You stated needed week or 2. It's not an extension. Sort out the TM30 and obtain 30 day extension. You left it very late. Being UK and visa exempt to Vietnam you could have considered mini holiday there. The easiest solution is LakSi for 30 day extension.

No. Some immigration offices do a TM47 as a "favour" TM47 has nothing to do with annual extensions.

If you entered visa exempt you will attend LakSi immigration office not CW. You require TM30 Your application will not be rejected due to overstay. Overstay should be avoided..

So any update? I would suggest not going to immigration. You made the error and immigration were correct to give you 30 day stamp. Exit prior to expiry of your permission of stay and return using your eVisa You could consider mini holiday eg Saigon.

Do you have any need to deal with immigration office eg an extension etc
