You could buy cheapest throw away ticket on the spot. Approx 1500baht or purchase "rent a ticket" from one of companies on net. Google onward flight approx $15 USD. Edit: posted just after uj

One visit

You have just pointed something out that I never thought about... So when I obtained my residence certificate from MTT (at the time) they wanted one thing. My 90 day report. No lease, no TM30 nothing. Just the 90 report. Logic suggests that if that's all that was asked for then why can't we just use out 90 day report. I must be missing something.

What two forms. Do you mean the acknowledgement forms. They will have them.

Would be overkill for sure.

First up I don't believe you will have any issue entering thailand. I did wonder about your flight route entering at DMK Together with username had a guess at Vietnamese. Pre covid times DMK did a few refusal of entry however it was quick turn around visa exempt entry (in the main). Also not from home country. Previously there were flights eg Saigon to CNX. Not sure of current state of play.. Before covid I was flying to Saigon every month for a long time. Always AirAsia via DMK. Only ever saw few guys questioned. Personally don't agree with some of the reasons for spending lot of time in Thailand suggested in this thread. Less is best. Recall one guy that had a clear itinerary to show with bookings etc. Most likely bogus but not the point. On top of all that you are planning to enter with a visa. You won't have any issues.

No offense OP but in title heading for your threads you just put username "Blackcountry" You will get better replies if title heading is your actual question.

Re the 180days.... Made up rule and yes reports of that being mentioned by some random immigration officers.

Unlimited.... However clearly back to back and ongoing will not work. This next comment is bit away from your question but it would be so so simple if Thailand put a set limit on visa exempt entries per calendar year via air. In similar way to rule for entry via land

Yes. You can make 2 visa exempt entry via land twice per calendar year and obtain 30 day extension to each entry

You can obtain a 12 month extension. Has significant financial requirements. It's a non O visa based on retirement.

You were lucky. I use Jetstar and aware of their policy. Bus ticket has never cut it. Did in your case. As I stated.. lucky.

Worked where and with which airline.

Has to be onward flight..

Doubt it very much. Think those having had many CE were targeted. This is your first. There is no reason not to issue you one.

All good. If you have a flight out ticket have it with you. It's not a requirement but some immigration officers have been playing games and asking to see one.

Correct. Office is on 3rd level. There is a photocopy place next door if you overlook anything. Not sure about Laski however some immigration offices were starting the 60 days on day of application for first covid extension. Might be an idea not to go to early.

Yes use link posted above.

Tick second box on affidavit

How have you do made your previous 90 day reports?

I find your thread strange. If you actually were coming for a family holiday ...why would you consider non Ed. It does actually involve attending classes and be located in specific area. Forget the Thai language test..that won't be an issue. Seriously ask yourself if this type of visa is suitable for tourist family. Weird.

CW... https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/courses/muangthongthani-will_be-closed/ Remember to just tick car license. The one certificate will cover both car and bike. If you tick both they will charge 400baht and send 2 certificates.

Here is an example

Which immigration office. I have never had and photos required for annual extensions retirement, CW.

@Pib bit off topic however you gave excellent advice recently. I've had couple of people ask for advice regarding trip out and back into Thailand. Exactly what is required to show vaccination status. Personally I will be going back to Bang Sue soon to get my first booster and at same time obtain printout VAX certificate. Can you print that out from the app? Can a screenshot of vaccination record on phone enough? Don't want to give incorrect advice. Ta
