Keep in mind that you are applying for a 30day extension to a visa exempt entry. This is tourist type extensions and most tourists would not have a lease. A TM30 should be sufficient. You state that Jomtien required a rental agreement was required for a 30 day extension? Did you provide Jomtien with a TM30? BTW nothing surprises with both CM and Jomtien. Both rubbish offices.

Don't understand your post. Sounds as though you exited Thailand and obtained a second visa exempt entry. 90 day reports are for continuous 90 day stay in Thailand. The TM30 screenshot is sufficient for your address. Along with TM7 form and photo Couple of the basic photocopies from your pp. ID page. Last entry stamp. TM6 if it was land border entry. As for obtaining a non O is that based on retirement? Have you organized bank account with 800k. CM require 21 days remaining on your current permission of stay to apply for non O

Which immigration office. Why not using online for 90 day report if travel is difficult. Why would immigration want to see 800k in bank. Smells like Jomtien.

There is however not accepted at some immigration offices.

If you had stated the actual route and airlines from the start you would have received better advice So now finally both legs AirAsia. Which routes? Booked separately?

1000baht

"Fill your hand you son of a ......." Magnificent.

True. Be aware that is only for reporting in person. Does not apply to online and mail in.

Folk are always asked for boarding pass at immigration control. Has been the case forever. The fact that many people can't produce them due to whatever reason is overlooked by io.

What type of non O? Visa exempt entry is 45 days until March 31. You don't apply for visa exemption. It's given on entry.

You have 4 months. Get a new pp.

Yes and as mentioned previously you can obtain extensions to each 90 day stamp..

Happy to stand corrected. Thinking "notified period of stay" in the context of rule 2.2 refers to your permission of stay stamp. Not to be confused with " notification of address" (90 day report) So when someone exits Thailand and returns with reentry stamp their "notified period of stay" is protected and they do not need to file a TM30 if returning to their usual address. On the other hand if they returned on a new visa or visa exempt then they would need to file a TM30 even if returning to usual place of residence. There is no confusion with the intention of the change in rules June 2020. It was to do away with the need to file a TM30 for any trip out of province and also international travel for those expats living in Thailand.

Added note. As already pointed out each entry (while the visa is still valid) gives you a 90 day stamp. If you wish to remain longer you can obtain an extension 30 days and also an extension 60 days to visit wife.

He means obtaining a non O retirement from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. That is applied for 15 days + prior to expiry and has an under consideration period. Here is thread from Nov last year. https://aseannow.com/topic/1278429-travel-out-of-country-whilst-retirement-stamp-is-under-consideration/

Surely you would obtain a passport renewal immediately. Don't know about USA but Oz can pay express fee for quick turn around. June is quite some time away. Enough time to renew now? There is a recent thread regarding time for USA passport renewal. You can travel with both passports however it's a quick process to transfer stamps at immigration. This thread is Oct last year. https://aseannow.com/topic/1276059-us-passport-renewal-procedure/

As has been pointed out already the answer is NO. Fly visa exempt and you will be stamped in for 45 days. Take note of @zzzzz post. Best to have an onward or return return to show airline at departure. Ask in the thread about this if confused.. Coming from UK for only 2 weeks? Try and get more time. Long expensive flight for couple of weeks.

It's standard now for trips TO the airport.

Yes you can however the amount of hassle may come down to the amount of time that you have spent in Thailand in recent times. Also the amount of time between visits. Outside your recent history in Thailand for better advice.

Going from eg central plaza to airport is meter. That would hardly get to 100baht. The other way round is a fixed price.

Read the posted rules by others. I'm just posting immigration rules. By all means take your bat and ball home. In fact the law posted just prior to your post by @DodgerRodger

200baht. Stay near central plaza where minivans depart from Stay night somewhere like Top Mansion near the Day Night bar complex 500b. 3 minutes walk to central plaza

18th is day 1. 45 day count should be March 3.

You are using an agent. Did you provide 800k in Thai bank or the agent doing the whole process?

There was official announcement regarding that. Will do a search. A print out of that should be sufficient. Google search shows announcements to verify the change to 45 days till March 31.
