To the contrary.... Even if I was married I would never do extensions based on marriage as I can do extension based on retirement. NO ONE is going to take random pictures of myself with wife. Ridiculous. At one point a picture of sitting on bed with wife was a requirement. Absurd.

Indeed. You may end up starting over. One suggestion next time you request advice. In the OP give the whole story. You have finally done that in post above. Was it too hard to do that in the OP. As for "Might have to start the whole frigging process over again." You are the one with the court case. Stop the victim card.

Not remotely mentioned in the OP Clearly the opposite. Hence asking for advice. The OP is vague at best. No mention of why such urgency. I recall threads re travel for family illness etc during under consideration period. Topic covered many times. Here is one thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1305185-traveling-outside-of-thailand-during-your-30-day-under-consideration-period/

You have couple of threads. Do you have Thai bank account in your name only? Can you satisfy requirements using money in bank method. When does your current permission of stay expire

Immigration do not retain pp during under consideration period.

OP, have you used your 60 day extension to visit wife. How long is o/s trip. Which immigration office. Yes you would need a reentry permit. Yes you need to be back for date of final stamp. What's so urgent. Not good idea.

My application for eVisa for single entry tourist visa for Vietnam took approx 10 minutes. The visa was processed in 5 business days and eVisa was sent out via email..

We all work out what suits us. A lot depends on your immigration office. At CW you can make appointment online and the appointment times run like clockwork. Also at CW they have most on the banks located lower floor (noted SCB do not). Also a photocopy/picture/print same level. personally I prefer to drive later in the day appointment 11am or just after lunch. Whatever works for you..

The one posted by zzz is the one most recommended on AseanNow and yes they work Note they are mainly used for flying without visa to satisfy airline at departure for flight to Thailand. They only remain valid for couple of days so purchase very close to application for SETV. With a visa the airline at departure will not ask for onward flight.

Not according to many first hand posts along with many threads. This one contains post from ubonjoe. Actually my understanding is up to seven days prior.

You get my vote. 400k in bank for 2 months only then able to live off those funds for few months is a no brainer. Very sweet deal..

Or even better ditch dumb bank and deal with banks that provide 12 month statement on the spot..

You did not do enough research. As others have posted...ME Non O based on Thai spouse have been unavailable in most consulate/embassies. Think Penang etc also do not provide. Savannakhet does and is the go to consulate for that visa. Another option is to enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain non O based on marriage and subsequent extension. Buy multiple reentry permit

IMO Saigon is best option. Very easy transport option to District 1 (tourist area) from airport. Thai consulate is easy to get to from Bui Vien area. Note that you would need appointment. Here is link https://booking.setmore.com/scheduleappointment/f8af2588-daa5-4e23-9bea-6b35c5e06758/services/1fd945a8-1937-43af-99b3-51b251017d1a Being Oz you require eVisa. No visa on arrival. The application is simple and $25 usd for 30 day tourist visa. Process time is 5 working days.

It's referring to PERMANENT Resident status. Those guys do a different process for reentry permit.. You state .... "I thought that any stamped Re-entry Permit had its own validity tied to your permission to stay date?" That is correct. Very old thread but it outlines the difference https://aseannow.com/topic/677217-re-entry-visa-for-permanent-residence-holder/

You could consider an appointment avoids any que.. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

The bank letter and bank statement can be obtained prior to day of application. Think it's actually up to 7 days prior. As usual it depends on immigration office. Note some offices want to see activity in the account on day of application. This can be done with a small deposit or withdrawal on day of application. Any reason for obtaining letter early? OP you deal with HH. Here is thread with comments Hua Hin specific. https://aseannow.com/topic/1268902-advice-on-retirement-extension-hua-hin/

Have read many of your needy threads. Find most pathetic. There is one way to change drinking alcohol habits and it's not a nicotine patch. It's as Nike states .."just do it" Posting drug issues on AseanNow is just attention seeking. Seek serious help and you may receive positive advice. If you post in health forum perhaps can obtain good direction from someone such as @Sheryl Think AseanNow also has sub forum in health "I drink too much" Check it out in lieu of attention threads.

Pretty much rubbish as per ALL your needy threads.

There are ~75 immigration offices. Korat not relevant. This question is often asked as per this attached thread. For the OP 400K for 3 weeks is perhaps 1500baht loss of opportunity cost. Trivial cost. https://aseannow.com/topic/1298009-money-in-bank-for-extension-based-on-marriage-minimum-must-be-kept-there-whilst-under-consideration/

Making mental note to add this office to rogue office list. "Sitting on sofa photo" Ridiculous. Not as bad as for marriage extension "sitting on bed"

Which immigration office

Chill. Just do an online transfer from your home country to Thailand. Personally I use WISE and of course there are other options. You are worrying over nothing.

Just asked the gf and she replied "that my favorite" Don't understand the OP. Give it a try. You are not buying a condo.. Just put toe in the water

I find this interesting. So you applied 4th Sept and approved 19 days. That is 15 day wait. My most recent online at CW applied 14 days prior to due date. Waited several days and with no approval I cancelled and straight away submitted new application. Subsequently went to CW in person. I asked io "why no approved online" She replied "need wait 15 days" At other offices there are reports of very quick approval. Don't understand what's going on with CW.
