Especially as the TM30 is not required in the example you gave..

Yes but why would someone not make an online appointment. Works a treat. Best thing since sliced bread.

Onward flight most likely required by airline to issue boarding pass. Note the onward flight does not need to be return to Germany. Any cheap flight out of Thailand is sufficient.

Tourist Visa extension = CW Visa exempt entry extension = MTT.

+1. Oracle.

Reports are good. Remember to print out your appointment confirmation email and take it with you.

Use an agent to open bank account. Good option..

You should be ok. I forget where your located and when does current permit expire.

Here are threads that cover it.

First up there has been distinct lack of reports since Jan 26. It seems the criteria is about your entry into Thailand. If that was with a non O then covid extension unavailable. If via visa exempt or tourist visa then your able to obtain CE. Seems strange to me. For those able to obtain non O eg retirement or marriage then they indeed have an alternative. 12 month extensions.

Some offices were giving the 60 day covid extension from day of application if it was the first covid extension. Then subsequent covid extensions dated from end of current permit. Also some were issuing extension with an under consideration period and some were not.

That's correct ......not sure if he entered with the non O. If he did then yes appears covid extension not available.

OP, don't understand your ink question. Just use blue. Also why bother making trip to immigration, just obtain permit at airport. Simple quick process. 1000 single 3800 multiple.

You will be given a covid extension. Take affidavit along with you. Tick second box. If you have any issues and the immigration office is being silly then you can always go somewhere else. When does current permit expire. https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=727659

Never happened with my bank account. I don't even touch it for the year. Some folks suggest that you need to make a deposit every month or whatever. I've never had an issue. The banks sometimes consolidate transactions, however seems this occurs when there is a large number in a given month. If statements have potential of being required then always good to apply for extension couple of weeks early. Note: best advice if using money in bank method is to have a dedicated bank account apart from an account for day to day banking.

I've done reentry permits at DMK. Never was fast tracked. Anyway note to anyone that has not obtained reentry permits at airports....be aware that the office at BKK airport is just prior to passport control (zone 2) At DMK the office is just on other side of passport control. You can see the office just behind the io.

We travel a lot for extended periods. I always use mail option. Works a treat from anywhere in Thailand.

That's an option. Personally I would just continue with same address that I used initially. Do the 90 day reports via online or mail option. Your first report will be due 90 days from date you obtain 12 month extension. That first report cannot be done online. Mail is ok.

The bank letter is standard. You can obtain one the day before application. Update bankbook on day of application.

OP, you can also travel about in first 90 days but need to apply for 12 month extension at same immigration office where you obtained your non O. You will need a Thai bank account asap.

60 day extension to visit wife? Yes no problem. You may be able to obtain a 60 day covid extension instead. That way you could save the visit wife extension for later if needed.

That stunt was being done at CW prior to Jan 25. Haven't read any similar reports of late. Hua Hin pulled the stunt of requiring embassy rejection email. Lot depends on where you apply. Very few reports of late.

Some immigration offices have been starting the 60 extension from date of application for the first covid extension. Applying feb 22 is fine.

What the heck are you asking? They do require you to have your own passport. So yep pretty particular.

800k in Thai bank account on day of application. Need to show funds came from o/s.
