And if you had not obtained your non O in another province how would have you dealt with the situation that the OP found himself in with a nutter immigration officer.

Perhaps if I explain it simply. The OP starts a thread. The gist is that he used an agent and has concerns about the length of time the process is taking. It seems (by his answer) that he provided his own funds, which doesn't really matter but does explain the timeline. I have advised him as such regarding his situation. Any comments about DIY is better etc has zero to do with the thread. Many crusaders on AseanNow.

Had zero to do with OP question which I have covered already. Every time someone posts a question re agents the head bangers come into play.

For you obviously as you keep harping about it.

Sounds like the non O will be issued and after 60 days your extension stamp will be put into pp. Don't worry about your tourist visa expiry. All good.

You state "WE submitted all the forms" Are you providing funds in Thai bank account in your name? In any event your situation is find.

Don't really follow your post. At the embassy (my understanding) is that it is more a statuary declaration. Even if evidence is asked for a TM30 or lease etc most likely sufficient. You cannot obtain a residence certificate in Bangkok immigration unless you have filed a 90 day report. The residence certificate from immigration would take approx a week and sent via EMS mail. Assume you require for transport matter. If it's to open bank account an agent would be better option.

Yes and Yes.

Read the title again. The question is about can you do a 90 day report in another province. Answer YES but you would have to do an address change to where you wanted to file the 90 report. Having done that you would need to do another change of address when you return to your usual address. This came up maybe 6 months ago and some fool that was in Rayong on holiday and insisted on doing the reports in person so did a change of address to Rayong then when returned to Bangkok had to do another change of address. Ridiculous.

Your missing the point. The slightly confusing thing now since June 2020 is that filing a TM30 is also for change of address. If someone is away from their usual address in another province they would need to do change of address to that province in order to file a 90 day report. Then repeat that when they return to where they live. All of which would be crazy as 90 reports can be done online and via mail from anywhere in Thailand. End of chit chat on this.

When you register most people hit change password for a more personal one. You will notice no TM6 space for number. Not required. Be careful with the address. Needs to be same as what was used previously on the reports. After you have successfully done one....then in future after you fill in first fields (Name and Passport #) you dont need to fill in the rest. Hit magnifying glass icon and then rest of data such as address etc is filled in automatically. The system also sends out a reminder email 15 days prior to next due date. I always fill that in straight away. It's a bomb.

Recall this asked previously. Pretty sure it needs to be printed by the bank. This is specific to Bangkok Bank.

You should try the new online reporting. Works a treat. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add

That doesn't cut it The fact that if folk travel about and book into a hotel in another province and that hotel does a TM30 does not mean that the person can waltz into that local immigration office and do a 90 day report. They need use the TM30 as change of address. Then once back to where they actually live do another change of address. That would be crazy.

That would only be possible if you do a change of address TM30. The OP would have required a TM30 or rental contract or...in order to have obtained his extension. If he now is in another province and wants to do 90 day report there he would need to do a change of address.

Yes unless subsequent to your extension you have done a change of address. TM30. Using online or via mail the 90 day report can be done from anywhere in Thailand. No point for in person report unless fine needs to be paid.

OP, you could do a border bounce if required. Inconvenient. I just completed an eVisa to Vietnam so I will certainly check the details when it's approved..

Dont really follow the post. Yes you will receive a 12 month stamp for each entry while the non O-A is valid. So up to almost two years is possible. Insurance required for both years and reentry permit required for after the visa has expired if travel out and back required. What bit were you surprised about.

Yes. Also ask landlord for screenshot of TM30 to take to immigration when you apply for your non O

Up to you as the saying goes. Some folk obtain travel insurance and some not. Fact is it's not a requirement. personal choice. BTW the lady you refer to was a pillion involved in motor bike accident. Vast majority of travel insurance policies do not cover motor cycle accidents. Edit: my mistake about the person you refered to. You may recall young woman had spinal injury in Samui pool with a bar. Had insurance and the company refused. Said she was drunk.

The OP has seen his papers handed in by agent and had photo taken. All is fine. Agent process very different to doing it yourself. The agent may wait till has certain number of passports to submit. Bit similar to waiting for minivan to fill. Also you were doing an extension. OP is applying for a non O

Your home free. Now that you have mentioned that docs have been handed in there is no issue. Forget about your current permit expiry date. All under control.

Not a requirement.

Easy to say don't worry but in this case thinking you are fine. Assuming agent has put your paperwork in there is an under consideration period and at that point the expiry of current permit doesn't come into play. You state that you provided everything means that you also met the financials. All good.

There is no such thing as non O-A to non O conversion. Thinking you mean changed the reason for your extension from retirement to marriage. Very different.
