Possibly you did not have the minimum 15 days validity remaining that is required. The io most likely directed you to the 60 day extension as a work around.

It's not ideal however suggest that you obtain the 60 day extension "to visit wife". With the 30+60 gives you enough time to satisfy the io fictional married for 2 months. Remember to apply for the Non O marriage with minimum 15 days remaining on your permission of stay. Good luck. You will get there.

I have never seen that. Did the io suggest that you could apply for 60 day extension"to visit wife" That would buy time. How many days remaining on current permission of stay?

Be my guest but you are wasting your time. The application for first extension starts the clock. In any event here is link for 90 day report at CW. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ It works a treat. The desk for queue ticket is far right side. The io will check your form and printout of booking confirmation. You will be seen straight away.

Hopefully Laos will at some point enable online payment for the e-Visa eliminating the need to even attend the immigration office.

Some misinformation in this thread. Posts from @BrandonJTare correct. OP your count for first 90 report starts when you apply for your extension. That's why I asked if you plan on obtaining a 12 month extension. As mentioned in couple of posts some immigration offices do the 90 reports when folk apply for future extensions. In actual fact apart from first extension 90 day reports have nothing to do with annual extensions.

Here is a thread that contains several links to threads along with immigration requirements. So you are the legal father with court ruling and child lives with you? https://aseannow.com/topic/1327020-extension-of-stay-based-on-having-a-thai-child/

Amazed. Thanks for report.

It's referred to as "transferring stamps" Visa information is also entered into new passport. Regarding the bank book showing financial compliance....yes, that is required at CW and no doubt some other offices. Photocopies of pages back to current extension along with updated bank account. This is a new requirement.

Why on earth would anyone do that. As pointed out previously. Oz pp can be renewed online. Yes you need to go to post office to post it to Oz embassy at Bangkok or CM. The new pp will be sent to you mailing address. No need to attend embassy and no need to send current pp. In my case from posting to Bangkok embassy till receive new pp in mail was 20 days.

So let's be clear on this. You applied for Non O marriage e-Visa. Paid fee to Vientiane Thai embassy on Friday and received the e-Visa on Saturday. The next day? You then did not print it out and entered Thailand visa exempt? How many days were you stamped in for. 60? How/when do you plan to activate your Non O ?

Post from @thai006 "I've use this service last week to enter Thailand with many visa exemption and they let me in about 20 second" https://www.facebook.com/share/1FizuBRMxL/ OP, if you plan to enter Thailand visa exempt via air best deal directly with agent such as this link posted.

So if I understand correctly. You ask about flight however no intention of using that option stating ......."I asked by curiosity but didn't really think to do it" You ask about border run however rule out agent minivan company.... So you are left with one option. Do the border run alone and be prepared to spend couple nights outside of Thailand. Anything else?

Absolutely. There was a post (still can't believe the stupidity) a guy sent his 82 yr old mum on bounce to Singapore return flight same day. Sadly she had hell of a time at airport on return to Thailand. Was eventually admitted however very upsetting. The OP could use "safe service" by agent however approx 4500b

Yes. See post above.. In any event you have ruled out minivan run. You could consider getting to border by yourself and spending couple of nights out of Thailand. Nong Khai or Cambodia.. up to you. Flight out and back after few days tempting as you seem to be located in Bangkok. Detailed information helps folk giving advice. . You previous thread (link above) good example

Yes the second link you listed is the one I have always used. BTW I just do it on phone. Very smooth.

Yep noticed that but surprised he even opted to obtain SETV given both provide 60 day stamp. Perhaps he is referring to visa exempt entry as "tourist visa" Edit: I recall this OP now and in this thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1357038-bangkok-immigration-government-complex-something-new-i-should-know/ Indeed entered Thailand with a SETV and obtained 30 day extension at CW. Now needs border bounce for another 60 day stamp. Suggest minivan agent bounce from Bangkok to Cambodia. However he ruled that out. Another option is to consider mini holiday and exit return via air. Saigon would be my pick. Safe entry services recommended however comes at a price.

What type of visa.

Check out this thread re border run to Nong Khai Dec last year. You may be required to spend night or two in Laos and even buy flight out of Thailand. Have not read recent reports. Where are you located in Thailand. Agent run minivan companied going to Cambodia from eg Bangkok or Pattaya are a good option for a bounce. Current thread running where companies charging 5700b for guy with a DTV for same day bounce. Flying into Thailand always the issue on hassle with immigration if extensive history. Also issue of onward flight requirement from airline. Someone mentioned "safe entry service" yes that works however ~4500b.

I feel bad for the UK guys for their pp renewal from Thailand. Not rubbing it in but I renewed my Oz pp not long ago. You can do the whole thing online. The current pp is not sent. The application goes via mail to embassy in Bangkok then onto Oz. New pp delivered back to Thai home address. 20 days in total. The word "shambles" for UK renewal is fitting.

If you attend immigration for any reason it's most likely they will require you to transfer stamps. However (Thailand) it's not uncommon for someone to attend immigration for transfer and be told " your extension is due soon, do it then"

It won't carry over. With respect you are still doing same thing...trying to gain extra few months. Nightmare thread currently running of UK pp renewal via VSF in Bangkok. Will post link later. I renewed my Oz pp year back and it still had almost 2 years validity. PP has 10 year validity. Penny wise pound foolish comes to mind. Keep in mind that while no issue entering Thailand with the 6 month validity rule....other countries do have that requirement. Here read this and ask when to renew UK pp. https://aseannow.com/topic/1353499-uk-passport-renewal-question/

As soon as you obtain upcoming extension apply for passport renewal. Ceases to amaze me why folk try and milk out pp. I suggest if less than 12 months validity renew

https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=1666 Read point 5 in attached link regarding very first 90 report after application for extension. For subsequent extensions the reporting has nothing to do with extension. However some immigration offices start the 90 count again when applying for extension. If that's the case the io should indicate that... Usually by placing report due date in passport.

Are you planning on obtaining a 12 month extension
