Extensions from a non O-A based on marriage do not require insurance unlike extensions from a non O-A based on retirement

So you obtain a ME Non O marriage in Canada each year. Notice that you stay under 90 days each visit. Personally I would do a lease with wife's folks just to satisfy what you have previously done.

Thinking you are very aware of the process. Yep do another and hopefully will work. Understand fully what you mean about CW travel etc.

It's an interesting one. There have been reports (couple) of success in obtaining an eVisa for Thailand when in nearby country and even Thailand itself. Think recall both those were UK guys. Yet to read of no issue using that eVisa and fly eg Vietnam to Thailand. Hopefully folk that have actually done that successfully will post.

That's an issue for your insurance company. How does your insurance even come into it. You mention extension based on retirement from a non O. Insurance is not required.

That's the one. Try submitting report again. Obviously you would have changed your entry date for your most recent entry. Did you use autofill? That can be done just after entering passport # and first couple of fields....then hit the magnifying glass symbol.

No. Not at CW. Are you using the new...ish online process for 90 day reporting? This one https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add

OP, The two posts above spot on.

Ridiculous post.

You need eVisa for Vietnam USA citizen. Only option is 30 day setv. Simple process just did it. Takes 3 business days. Your tourist visa is 60 days not 90. You can obtain 30 day extension to the 60 at Thai immigration. Re appointment. If your appointment at Saigon is AM you can pick up at consulate next day PM . Visas are am apply and pm pick up next day. Are you familiar with HCMC

How much was it prior to this amazing discount.

As a tourist entering visa exempt or with tourist visa you would do nothing with exception of need to deal with immigration office. Typically this would be to apply for 30 day extension. If you plan to have interaction with immigration you would need to provide screenshot of hotel filing TM30 report.

OP, here is thread covers what you are asking. https://aseannow.com/topic/1272122-2022-updated-requirements-and-or-process-for-extension-based-on-marriage/ Also check this link provided by uj. https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=843557&key=2caaa6b16bae18dd24e0a61253734932

How did you reenter Thailand? Reentry permit? Multi entry visa? Which immigration office told you a TM30 was required?

You do not surrender your pp at CW. Your application for extension will have an under consideration period. You need to be in Thailand to receive final stamp.

You are referring to Sakhon Nakhon. And have posted that in various threads. That immigration office is wrong and no doubt there are others also NOT following new rules as of June 2020. If you exit Thailand and return with a reentry permit or eg multi entry visa to your place of residence you and/or property owner do NOT need to file a TM30. I won't post 2.2 of the new rules as that has been done many times. BTW fact that someone might return and spend night or whatever in random hotel is irrelevant.

How did you reenter Thailand. Reentry permit? Which immigration office insisted on TM30.

No limit but in reality continuous back to back tourist visas with minimal time spent out of Thailand will not work.

Extensions are pretty much automatic regardless where you apply. You need a TM30 that enables you to apply at a particular immigration office. Few basic photocopies of pp. That's it. History in Thailand should not come into it.

That's only mentioned as it refers back to 2019 when BKK and DMK airports went crazy and refused entry to some folk. CNX at that time did not. I notice in your post to someone else just now that you have actually been out of Thailand on and off. Think you just give it a go and fly Da Nang to one of the Bangkok airports. You WILL need onward flight for airline at departure.

You are stamped in for 60 days . Every entry can be extended by 30 days. By exit and reenter just prior to METV expiry you can obtain 9 months out of the visa. Border bounces do not count on your 2 visa exempt entries per calendar year. Prior to eVisa the METV needs to be applied for in home country. There have been few posts asking if the METV can be applied for eVisa while in neighbouring countries such as Vietnam. I would not recommend that.

Ah!! So a total of 18 days out of Thailand after extensive stay. Your plan seems to be fly from Saigon to Bangkok visa exempt. Good luck. Not saying that you would be refused entry but my my you are pushing it. You won't be able to obtain tourist visa at Thai consulate Saigon as they now require appointment and booked out ahead several weeks. You could fly Saigon to CNX to hedge your bets. Have not read a report of refused entry in this post covid period. You will need onward flight when flying from Saigon to Thailand for airline.

BTW in another current thread there are now reports of immigration (at CW) are wanting copy of updated bankbook when transferring the stamps for folk on extensions based on retirement.

Yes you make appointment with Oz embassy for passport renewal. The guidelines are pretty clear on website. When I last renewed my pp they provided the "letter". At some point they stopped doing that. My understanding is they placed stamp in pp to authorize Thai immigration to transfer stamps and visa information.

That should work. You do realize you can obtain extension much earlier than last couple of days. Make sure hotel can provide you with screenshot of filing TM30 prior to payment for room.
