There has been reports of success for visa run to Phnom Penh and at this time possibly best option

@BritTim has given the correct advice and imo best in your situation. You can obtain your non O after TV or visa exempt entry. Your TV or visa exempt can be extended by 30 days if you need more time to organize after arrival.

Given only 5 months in Thailand and one month out think you should be fine with visa exempt entry. Be prepared for any questions from immigration officer. Such as your plans for your 30 day stay. The airline where your departing my require an onward flight. Generally imm on arrival do not require that. Also not often require to show cash but you should have that on you.

There is limit of 2 visa exempt entry per calendar year via land. There is no limit on visa exempt entries via air. There is no such thing as "90 days every 180" limit.

No.

You can reenter with tourist visa. No rule on how long you were last in Thailand.. Is your plan to enter with TV or visa exempt. How long were you staying in Thailand previous to exit.

For sure and best to do that asap. Think many folk don't bother with TDL update.

Good timing. Just a note to others...there is no "time limit" on transfer of stamps and visa info, you can travel (even international with both pp) and do the transfer when next time your need attend immigration for eg extension..

Baht or equivalent value currency.

It's one option.

So helpful. Not. The requirements re TM30 are clear. Read the thread.

He is either using income method or funds in the bank. OP did not indicate any reference to 800k total deposit using funds in bank. You assume all the dosh is in bank. Perhaps not.

Are you serious.

Wait for an expert but my take on it is that without income letter from embassy (your UK) you have not provided the 12 monthly deposits. Think you should plan on having 800k in your bankbook if you plan to enter visa exempt and obtain a non O based on retirement.

Your on my buddy list. As if that's important to you. Ha Thanks for detailed report. Enjoy your stay.

Online 15 prior up to due date. Previously it was 15 prior up to 7 days prior. In person 15 prior up to 7 days post counting your first day as due date. Via mail think it varies on office. At CW they want post 15 days prior. Re your post...pretty sure (certain) uj does his reports via online option. Second never mention my name in same sentence as our #1 expert. Often my advice is bit off. UJ corrects all.

Quoting you to highlight. Thankyou for post. First hand experience/feedback important. For added clarity can you outline your process at passport control upon entry. Imagine it was a nod and go?

There have been recent announcements about MTT. You need check current threads. Regarding of function such as 90 reports etc They are moving. You need check dates. Current threads have details

I agree. Have you recently entered Thailand. Thinking some folk wanting first hand experience reports. Again I agree with you take on it.n

Just about your entire post is just your opinion. Very naive. The op title was asking for advice regarding agent. Indeed the guy you quoted is clearly seeking advice regarding use of agent. Please allow people to ask for advice.

First up ta for the info on your experience. I highlighted the reference to valid non O-A. There are recent posts regarding length of insurance for various situations asking for advice. For example exit Thailand with a valid non O-A ( meaning has reentry without permit) and then return. Normally stamped in for 12 months. Same for eg PE (elite visa) trip out and return. etc etc. I would buy 30 day insurance for the above cases.

OP, my long edit just now was cut due to time. So I did some research and indeed it's not simple. At every turn seemed to be required one year stay document. Clearly more difficult than los. Hopefully someone with first hand experience can advise.

Wasn't the OP you quoted. In any event the OP had his answer first post. ....Yes he can send wife. I do agree that sometimes imm can be rude. I've been lucky dealing with CW. Always pleasant.

I can't assist directly however here in Thailand opening a bank account is very easy using an agent . They get around the required residence certificate. Assume no different in Cambodia. I was doing a search for someone in relation to obtaining TV and many agents can assist with bank account. It's an option

Strong words from the lounge room. I'm guessing that the fella you quoted was comfortable with the process at the very least he didn't seem putout.
