That's a good idea. You would hope that travel requirements will eventually be back to semi normal. One more year with the non O-A is a safe play. Also your next extension is before Sept 1 so no change in insurance requirement.

At some point in future you might consider killing off your non O-A and obtaining a non O retirement. Many have due to insurance requirement.

Doesn't the "one night rule" also apply at Malaysian border crossing?

Obviously not a common situation however cannot see why you would not be able to obtain 60 day extension to visit wife. The whole point of which would be to provide time for changes to TP and borders open etc. When uj answers your other questions he may clarify this option.

Insurance for 30 days would be sufficient.

Or have both passports in your possession..

Geez....let's wait for report from border bounce with all the details. Please nip up to Nong Khai and give us first hand report of border bounce. You could be #1

I take it that your a permanent resident. Have zero expertise in that area. I always thought permanent resident could exit and reenter no problem. Think it had to be within certain period. 12 months? In any event not relevant to op.

Share what? So let's wait for first nip up to loas border and bounce back into Thailand.

There is zero cost to process reentry permit. At BKK they provide optional process which includes photo etc. That cost is 200baht. Provide form yourself with photo, zero processing fee.

Let's wait for first positive border bounce. First hand experience.

Think you are missing something. The OP entered visa exempt. Most likely just staying with gf. "Rented apartment together" is huge stretch.

Just bumping your thread as no reply. Hopefully someone can advise. Many many years ago I never provided onward flight Interested in recent reports.

The owner would not file Tm30 unless the OP requests it. He is just a random farang visiting gf.

What would be very helpful is you test the waters.... For example ..from your OP you state.... "Specifically, I would like to know if they have been requiring the full 12 month bank statement which I was told must be ordered in advance from the head branch office" If you can be bothered try just providing the photocopies of bank book rather than bank statements. Also dont just slide over 90 report receipt and TM30. Even some experienced posters provide extension reviews and state with authority that this and that was required and in reality it was just accepted rather than essential.

The TM30 if requested would be when you apply at Laski. The issue is that previously you would attend Mueang Thong Thani for extension and the que issue desk would perhaps look for tm30. Is there an issue for you to obtain one? It's easy for hotel to provide screenshot.

Bit hit and miss. You could be asked for a TM30. If you checked into a hotel you can ask for screenshot of their report. BTW since you entered visa exempt if you are obtaining extension in Bangkok you will attend IT Square in Laski mall and not at CW.

Do you have a Thai bank account in your name. Since you will enter on tourist visa you most likely would need a 30 day extension to provide enough time to get married and subsequently obtain non O marriage.

No TM30 required in situation you describe.

Indeed. Missed that. It's 3800 for multiple. So he can make a small saving by purchase of two single entry permits. Seemed his main issue was time spent going to immigration and I have pointed out he can obtain reentry permit at airport. Very easy quick process.

Not really. Possible at for example Nong Khai however not like your thinking.. Need to be in tour group etc. Thinking to try and by time. Not sure if extension to visa wife is available to you. My point is that in few months things could be easier and Thai Pass etc history. You mention quarantine...that's only required if your unvaccinated. Where are you located.

100% exit Thailand. When does your permission of stay from elite end? Perhaps land border/s open by then. Do border bounce and reenter visa exempt. Obtain a non O marriage shortly after reentering. You will require 400k in Thai bank account on the day you apply for your non O.

Yeah 1000 baht (single) reentry. I agree with some of the posters suggesting buy a multiple 3800 baht. . My guess is the OP is not even aware of option of a multi and clearly not aware of option of obtaining at airport.

My question re Thai bank account is that some overlook this. They arrive visa exempt and want to obtain non O marriage or retirement. Yes true only need funds in bank on day of application for non O, however some folk overlook how difficult this can be in recent times to open an account on visa exempt or tourist visa. As you have a Thai bank account easy peasy for your non o

Indeed. The OP implies he requires 2. Fact he asks the question re obtaining 2 at same time means he is either unaware on a multi reentry is available for 3800baht or if 2 trips need to be all that's required he can also obtain 2 single reentry permits when required 1000baht a pop. Clearly he is also unaware (imo) that reentry permits are available at airport prior to departure.
