+1... I'm doing mine next week Wich is only 34 days early at CW. Some folk think that they lose days if apply early. Of course they do not.

Spot on. Thanks for you supporting requests. When anyone posts a road map to whatever it ends up a trainwreck

Not sure of forum rules.... Rather than post link to thread here is post from ubonjoe... "It is 2 months before the date you apply for the extension now. The 60 days for the first extension no longer exists in the police order."

Hopefully a mod will redirect your thread

For all extensions including first marriage and retirement it is 2 months prior to application. There are couple of rogue immigration offices that may require 3 months

First up you can put me on ignore. I reject your invitation. You joined AseanNow with this thread. You keep feeding your thread. If remotely true (which it is not) There is Zero possibility of this scam causing you an issue. There is only 2 options. The thread is a troll or you are the most naive poster. BTW: What on earth is this chit chat thread doing in Visa forum.

You are over 50 so you can obtain a non O based on retirement. You have somewhat confused your thread with referring to Non O for tourism. Depending on how long you wish to visit Thailand you could obtain multi entry non O based on retirement. That would enable stay of more than one year. You could also obtain an eVisa tourist visa that would give 60 day stamp that can be extended by 30 days. You need to provide more advice.

It was nonsense post that you quoted. My guess perhaps a 60 day extension to visit wife or something simple. No mention of bank letter etc etc. Disregard.

4 pages of rubbish. Cannot believe so many experienced posters have replied to what is clearly a Troll thread. Ridiculous!

Yes. It's about continuity of your permission of stay That does not mean physical presence in Thailand. The reentry permit "protects" your permission of stay. Of course if you change your address, meaning where you actually live in Thailand then you need to do TM30.(change of address)

That's for non O (15 days at CW) Not required for extensions.

Hopefully can sneak in question re CW in this thread... Next Wednesday going to CW for annual extension . Normally have everything. Does anyone know if the print photocopy stall lower level does Photos for the TM7 form. TIA..

Explained in first post of OP of attached thread. Item 2.2 https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/

You don't need to do TM30 for your trips in Thailand and also international trips where you purchase a reentry permit. Rules were changed in June 2020.

What type of visa did you have. Are you doing annual extensions?

Depends which immigration office you deal with.. If it's CM then you need do a TM30. For the vast majority of immigration offices a new TM30 is not required for inter province trips ALSO not required for international travel if returning with same visa or reentry permit.

No to first part and for international travel also not required if returning with reentry permit or same visa.

OP, what sort of extension do you have. You do not need to obtain a TM30 when you return from your holiday.

No. Seems that you are in Bangkok. Obtain your reentry permit at CW any time prior to day of departure. You need TM8 and a photo and few photocopies from pp. Data page etc Yes appointments are available at CW. However think there is currently issue with the new appointment site. Walk in an option.

We all use terms such as "extension based on retirement" In fact you can still work and have non O and subsequent extensions based on retirement. One example is oil gas guys. The important thing is they are not working in Thailand. The main criteria is actually being over 50+

You would need to do TM30 (change of address) . It's inconvenient obtaining your extension. Which immigration office do you deal with?

Clearly you have no idea. There is NEVER ever 40, 65 people. Usually zero. Post with first hand knowledge is a good plan. It's clear you have no experience of what the OP asked about.

You make it sound like trip to immigration office is like going to 7/11. For some it's a half day trip. Did you read the guy you quoted. He stated .... "About a 30 minutes total... to apply and wait. " And that was with "several people in front of him" I have done 10 at DMK and only once was there someone being processed.

Suggest print out front/back on one sheet. OP, don't forget photo.
