I have zero idea of what your OP is about. Are you referring to issuing a non O VISA or perhaps issuing an annual extension. Are you asking about delays in the under consideration period for extension based on marriage?

Don't understand your OP. When you exit Thailand your 90 Day clock is reset upon reentry date.

That's such a nice reply. I can only understand one language so you way ahead of me. Not clear if you have been to Saigon previously. The agents (on every corner) can assist with tourist visa for Thailand. Hope all goes well for you. As pointed out in your thread.. You need appointment. Good luck

Thanks for update. I thought it was Aug 23. In any event good news the 90 multi will be available. I assume it will be available on current e-Visa application.. Being Oz looking forward to that

Lot of folk on a METV and ME non O attend immigration for a 30 day extension. If someone posts that they needed a new TM30 then fine.

This post can be added to your OP and other posts ...,in that have not understood one. Agents in Saigon can guide you through the process.

Happy to stand corrected. The fact is that with a multi reentry permit such as METV or ME Non O based on retirement or marriage etc the visa is valid and new TM30 not required. With a reentry permit you are still given "new permission of stay" stamp. Granted the expiry matches the reentry permit but that's not the point. Your reentry permit simply allows you to obtain new permission of stay stamp. My most recent o/s trips pic attached.

UK , USA and AU citizens can still use the 65k monthly income method. The catch is you need to show 12 month of monthly transfers prior to applying for extension. BTW: you stated the following.... "[the US embassy never provided such a service - at least in my memory]" USA embassy previously did supply "Affidavit "

Might be splitting hairs but when you reenter Thailand with a reentry permit from example an extension, you are also given a new entry stamp (permission of stay date)

You also asked this strange question... "Also, don't I get a visit from the immigration ones in a while and need to be at that address? Please no trolls just real advice." Is that serious. If you live in Thailand ongoing on non O based on marriage you will need to apply every year for a 12 month extension and yes that often requires a home visit. Also neighbors to verify. Seriously have you lived in Thailand previously. My guess ..Not

Such a naive post you will receive much criticism. For starters to live ongoing in Thailand even married to Thai national you will require annual extensions. That also has financial requirements. Also in many immigration offices home visit at time of extension. Just imo you are not suited to village life given such ridiculous comparison to India.

It's an option however for Cambodia he would require a visa as would Laos and Vietnam. Not a big deal however given he needs only 7 days, a rejected application for extension at immigration office would be most simple option.

That is always an option if your SETV is rejected. Your long winded OP did not provide details of you current stay in Thailand. This will be the main issue for any tourist visa application.

Yes you can do another border bounce for 30 day visa exempt entry. OR You can apply for extension at immigration office in Thailand which will be refused and you will be given 7 days (it's not an extension) to exit Thailand. 1900B OR You can overstay by 7 days and pay fine at airport 3500b. Not best option

Don't understand what you mean by "switching" You must currently be in Oz to be applying for a non O-A. Not best option imo. Any ongoing extensions will require insurance. I'm pretty sure insurance is not required from non O obtained in Oz even if it appears on embassy website. In 2021 consulates were requiring 3 months of insurance for non O retirement If you have a Thai bank account you could have transferred the funds and obtained the non O in Thailand and met the (incorrect) 2 month seasoning that Jomtien requires for non O retirement application.

That's your experience.... From another poster earlier.... 'I reiterate, My experience is on metv i have been told by two seperate people at jomtien that no need to do tm30 after border run" Everyone should be aware of their own io cute individual rules. Samut Prakan is a other office not following correct (up-to-date) rules. You quoted me earlier and opened with this...... "Absolutely wrong info here." My information was correct. I'm not concerned about random experiences such as your posts.

OP, you may wish to read this VERY detailed extension (marriage) at CM. https://aseannow.com/topic/1224751-marriage-visa-extension-guide-chiang-mai/

Have a careful read of the OP in this thread. Specifically 2.2 https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/ There were changes to TM30 in June 2020. I'm not interested in what any random immigration office/officer makes up.

Regarding the OP there is a need. The one year lease is irrelevant. He is exiting Thailand and will reenter with new visa or visa exempt stamp. He needs new TM30.

Correct. However there are couple of rogue offices that are not following the change of rules that occured in ~ June 2020. Most notable is CM

Unless the tenant reentered with reentry permit or a multi entry visa then yes he requires a new TM30 even if returning to same address

Enter visa exempt and obtain a 30 day extension if required. 30+30

It is possible.

You require an appointment for Saigon Thai consulate. All your paperwork needs to be in order. Cheap flights from Bangkok to Saigon and good bus from airport to district 1. Appointment for Saigon link https://booking.setmore.com/scheduleappointment/f8af2588-daa5-4e23-9bea-6b35c5e06758 An alternative is to fly to Udon Thani and then onwards to Nong Khai. Obtain SETV at Vientiane. That also requires appointment. Link for appointment https://thaivisavientiane.com/

You can exit with both passports. Since you have already used your extension there is no point in obtaining a reentry permit. You can reenter visa exempt and receive a 30 day stamp.
