As per usual rubbish post from you. For annual extensions many immigration offices require TM47 receipt. Even CW has now required it. I did my annual extension this week (Wed) and TM47 was required. Also last March for my application for certificate of residence. In fact for certificate of residence at CW that cannot be issued without having made a 90 day report

That's been the case for years. Even for agents in Pattaya sending passports up to kk..

You are correct. CM is an outliner. Don't know why. Vaguely recall threads about this and another immigration office was doing same. Don't understand why. There are ~ 75 immigration offices and as always couple of weird offices It's sad that many posts in various from "experts" state.... "As always need to check with your particular immigration office" ????

Stop embarrassing yourself. You have been given good advice from Lite Beer and BritTim. BTW both guys are mods and extremely experienced. Sometimes terms are not all that important. Often it is. Suggest you keep reading threads to learn

No. Read my earlier post. Personally I'm on continuous stay from 10 year back. Exit reenter Thailand with a reentry permit. No new TM30 is required for inter province stays and trips abroad. For tourists they have no need of a TM30 UNLESS they intend to attend immigration. Example a 30 day extension to tourist visa or visa exempt entry.

OP , it's all about continuity of stay. If you exit Thailand and return on new visa or visa exempt you will need to make a TM30. On other hand it you exit Thailand and reenter with a reentry permit or ME Visa then you are not required to make a TM30. The rules regarding TM30 were changed in June 2020. Sadly one major immigration office has not followed change to rules. Specifically 2.2 That office is CM. Ridiculous immigration office. In event of change of address where you normally reside that would require a TM30. Not applicable to OP.. This thread outlines change in requirements. https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/

Just sometimes people I have on ignore I opt to read their post. Maybe I was wrong. So I read your previous 2 posts suggesting PE visa for 95 year old. Get real ...most foolish suggestion

Yes it can. For most immigration offices the funds having been in Thai bank account for several months would not require proof funds from abroad

Do you wish to contribute in positive fashion. The multi entry 90 day visa option to Vietnam has only recently been added to eVisa options for Vietnam. The OP is asking about Thailand. You have no idea of OP situation. Your post is completely irrelevant.

Yes it does. He can obtain at his immigration office or at airport.

He can obtain a reentry permit. 1000b for single Without reentry permit he would need to enter visa exempt. His best option depends on how long he wants to stay in Thailand.

I vaguely recall recent post of immigration office wanting EMS on return envelope. Think it was CW. You cannot obtain that stamp in advance. Think one suggestion was to include 40 baht stamp and write EMS on return envelope. Personally I wouldn't bother . I just had post office place 12baht stamp on return envelope.

I use B4 size envelope. Fold the return envelope to fit inside the posted B4 envelope that has a EMS stamp. Regards return stamp splash out and pay for EMS.

After many successful online TM47 my last 2 were rejected and I had to go in person to CW. They did not ask me for my TM30. I provided lease. Not clear on how to advise to avoid another 800b fine. However seems that CW accepted your TM30 albeit with a fine. Thinking if you go in person they will have that information and accept your TM47. Note that appointments work a treat at CW.

Move. Also remember to always make it clear with any landlord that you require a TM30 prior to moving in.

OP, note that the option outlined by moonlover above and link is a very good suggestion. Be aware that requires Non O to be obtained prior to entering Thailand.

Correct. Completely missed the "enter at Phuket" in the OP.

He can obtain a non O retirement in home country. (best to provide that detail) Having entered Thailand with that visa he would receive a 90 day stamp. He will need a Thai bank account. That Non O visa would/should enable him to open a bank account. He can then deposit 800k in that bank and be given a 12 month extension. Having stated all of that he would be best off at 95 to have an agent do all of the above. No funds in bank required. However does need a Thai bank account. (agents can do that also) Going this route he could even enter visa exempt or tourist visa. Immigration will not impose any "extra requirements" due to age.. No requirement for insurance for a Non O retirement and subsequent extension. It would also help if you indicate where your father plans to live in Thailand..

Both your questions have been answered. With your remote online work no problem. Have funds for that deposited into your Greek bank. One small issue is that I assume you do not have a Thai bank account. What plans do you have to transfer from your Greek bank to Thailand? Regards your visa permit.... You make a printout for the email you receive and present with pp. Be aware that io check it very carefully against the details in your passport so when you receive the eVisa carefully check for and details that do not match your pp..

I had not heard of them. Decided to check it out. Seems you have valid concerns. The attachment is from goggle search "KIM reviews" To the OP, suggest you take a screenshot of anything from airline that has your name and flight details. Crop and upload for visa application. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Reviews 97 • Bad 1.6

Why have people been able to do this previously. Read the thread I posted above. Granted you are most likely correct about trying to do it multiple times as the OP has outlined.

You are being paranoid. There is nothing that can go wrong with reentry permit. It's a very simple process. It only requires couple of photocopies from pp and a TM8 form with photo. The staff will even do that for small fee. At DMK you can see the office from where you are being stamped out at passport control. Yesterday I renewed my extension at CW and grabbed a que ticket for reentry permit. Then decided to skip that as I'm flying out of Thailand later this month and will obtain permit at airport. You are over worrying to extreme

Please stop. It's not just about "disabled" I mentioned other considerations Such as funds trapped in Thai bank account. Granted a WILL is one solution. Using an agent is another. I never stated that I was disabled.. Well that's relative. I'm old and that will happen to you. Again suggest you pull your head in. Live and let live. Your earlier post re "lazy" etc is straight up insult. Actually surprised as most of your posts sensible

You have a self centered view. Why does it trouble you so much. Today I did my trip to CW. Good news was obtained another 12 month extension based on retirement. I'm bit lucky in that have car and could obtain parking right in front of entrance. Being elderly and not good hip replacement it was a challenge. Had appointment but needed photos , photocopies etc. Also bank updates. Also needed to obtain bank statements the day prior. For me that was not easy. Another slightly unrelated is difficulty for my 10 year partner (no married) to access funds when I check out. May move to income method or even agent. Get off your high horse.

There needs to be forum below even rubbish "Pub forum".. Not sure of best tag. Perhaps "scared of own shadow" Or "Im overactive and suffer from panic attacks"
