Depends how you entered Thailand. If visa exempt stamp of 45 days would be unlikely to be able to apply that early. Not really important you can still travel about and present a screenshot of TM30 for the province you are in to apply for 30 day extension

The OP thread concerns Pattaya. Your experience elsewhere is completely irrelevant.

Extension to visa exempt and tourist visa is 30 days. A border bounce will give you another 45 day stamp and that can be extended by 30 days. Regards definitive dates. That depends on when you exit Thailand on your current extension and of course when you reenter The new 45 day stamp (visa exempt) starts on entry to Thailand and a 30 day extension would be added to the expiry date of that 45 day stamp.

OP, you are asking a 2 part question. When you apply for a non O based on retirement you will be given and under consideration period and pp handed straight back. You then return on stated date to receive non O retirement stamp.. Subsequently you apply for extension. At Jomtien the have you return the next day to collect your pp. Bit backward down there.

As stated above by friendlyfarang....No issue to use 2 accounts. If they are with same bank they will do one bank letter with both accounts shown.

It was a standard line that the io was using. For your entry when you plan to use agent for the non O retirement and subsequent extension you could consider obtaining a tourist visa. That would also give agent more time.

Think "not rocket science" bit harsh. As it's a change of residence thinking he best attend immigration in new province or via mail. Obviously in person more bullet proof for his next annual extension.

Boarding pass should be shown on arrival at airport to Thai immigration. Other than that it's not required. Obviously apart from baggage claim.

Boarding pass is not required for your extension. Period.

You need to give more detail. You mention extending your visa. Visa cannot be extended. You have a current permission of stay. What is that? A visa exempt entry or a tourist visa that granted 60 day permit or and extension from a non O or...? Why did you leave it so late. In any event you need to clarify. There is no such thing as a 7 day extension. You would make an application for some sort of extension and when rejected be given 7 days to exit Thailand. You don't need to do that. Just exit prior to your current permitted date.

Sorry. You do not know what you are talking about.. I specifically mentioned a ME No O visa valid for one year. Many folk obtain these at eg Savannakhet. They remain valid after divorce till the date of expiry. You are confused with what occurs after divorce if someone is on annual extensions from a non O based on marriage.

I'm addition a ME Non O visa valid for one year is still valid after divorce.

Excellent report. Ta.

Most ridiculous post so far. The OP has a METV. Read up the legality of this option. He was asking about border run options.

You need to narrow the inquiry. There are plenty of companies that include fly+hotels etc even AirAsia. Simple Google search lists plenty As for day and half day tours from PP to for example Killing Fields...there are travel agents on every corner of PP. If purpose of trip is to obtain a new tourist visa there are better options. Saigon being one.

TM6 required at land border crossings not at airports. The tm6 # etc will not be required by Thai immigration for such things as extensions etc.

I guess it's also about how the bank accounts are used. In my case with an FD account 600k + and a dedicated savings account (only used for immigration) with balance always 200k + it's a very easy process for the io. If however totals for each account has to be cross checked and perhaps allowing the total funds to reduce to 400k etc its bit of a pain.

Well that's a personal choice re which country. Both are extremely different imo. However keep in mind that a border bounce is very different to getting to places of interest

Attempt at humor? Fail.

It is also 30 days. You are concentrating on wrong things. The biggest difference to border run to Laos vs Cambodia is your current location and transport preference. By way of example ...I live Bangkok and would do flight to Udon Thani and short hop to friendship bridge Nong Khai. Others perhaps long minivan to Cambodia. Not difficult to choose what best suits you.

Are you crazy. Ridiculous. The owner tells you it's unavailable and you dig your heels in Have you traveled previously as a tourist.

You can report up to 15days early. In any event just use your existing (soon to be previous ) address

Not required.

30 days.
