Do you mean a new extension? Stamp shows very little. Two dates can just be error made on first stamp. . New pp has nothing to do with it. Were you stamps from old pp transferred into new pp?

He should have the date corrected at immigration. Should not go back to Border to have it corrected by office where it was issued. In reality he could most likely just exit Thailand by air prior to April 6 without obtaining reentry permit

Many have also been required to show TM30.

You stated "several Thai banks" Good luck with that when dealing with immigration. I actually use 2 accounts. An FD account and savings a/c. Both with the same bank. How many accounts are you asking about? Also can't think of a valid reason for doing that. Makes job of checking against the financial requirements difficult.

Correct. Was thinking of METV. Slip up.

Irrelevant to the OP

There are many threads on this and you seem to ask very similar questions. No such thing as retirement visa marriage visa etc. You would be obtaining a non O based on marriage OR retirement. You can apply for either in home country or nearby places such as Laos, Vietnam etc . You can even obtain either in Thailand from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Being able to obtain a non O without funds in Thai bank account outside of Thailand is no problem however the extension couple of months later requires funds in Thai bank account in your name only.

You don't need to flip flop your passports

TM28 is basically obsolete form. As stated you could have ignored anything to do with HH immigration.

You should not have made a TM30 to HH immigration. You cannot have two addresses as your registered address for extensions and such. If Phuket immigration is crazy enough to want you to make a TM30 there when you return then so be it, however it's not required by the rules since June 2020.

That's exactly what you would do. When away from CR address just do 90 day reports online or via mail.

Yes possible. No limit.

Why would they need to. Historically announcements such as continuing Covid extensions was left till last minute. Apart from TAT there has been very little noise re 45 day exempt entries being continued. Doubt if they will.

True. He on ignore list hence have taken you out of context.

Next time you quote include the entire text if it's part of the context. Not your edit. In any event for extension based on marriage the child is NOT required to attend.

He stated nothing regarding extension based on marriage. The OP asked about extension based on support of Thai child! Then you post about extension based on marriage.

He is not obtaining an extension based on marriage. Read OP again.

Well you have already been here for 2 months. You can obtain 30 day extension to that stamp. Next you could fly to Saigon for another tourist visa. Be aware that Saigon Thai consulate requires appointment and booked out weeks in advance. Also being from USA you require 30 day eVisa for Vietnam. Simple process. $25 usd. Vientiane is another good place for tourist visa however also requires appointment. You are permitted 2 border bounce visa exempt entries per calendar year. Every entry can be extended by 30 days.

You should obtain a METV while in USA. That gives 9 months and you can add border bounce after that with 30 day extension.

Please report back with HH update. You are being generous stating that some immigration offices have different interpretations. I prefer to call them rogue. The rules are clear. Nothing to interpret. It's clear that (by the rules) you should not require a filing of TM30 in the OP you outline.

That will work no problem. Being done all the time. The main reason being to kill off non O-A. In some cases, including yours, it can be to stuff up with the money in bank requirements. As I posted in another of your threads you could have opted to use agent for this extension and simultaneously meeting financials for following extension and doing that yourself.

Think CM also make their own rules. So as with many things it's up to the immigration offices. Some of which do not follow the clear rules relating to TM30 requirements.

From Bangkok one option is to fly to Udon Thani and border crossing at Nong Khai. Reenter same day friendship bridge.

You do nothing. You are not changing address. I live in Bangkok and stayed on Koh Samed for 8 months during covid. If you are away from home province when 90 report is due then just do it online or via mail.

You would be stamped in for 60 days every time that you enter Thailand on a valid METV. Note that each entry can be extended by 30 days. What type of visa you opt for depends a lot on your long term plans. If indeed you plan to spend significant time in Thailand every year then a Non O retirement with subsequent extensions and reentry permit could be best option. However that requires you to maintain funds in Thai bank or use agent.
