A visa exempt entry can only obtain one 30 day extension per entry. The fact that you subsequently had amnesty and covid extensions etc is irrelevant. Your confused.

You can obtain a non O marriage in Thailand from a visa exempt entry or a tourist visa entry. That's why I asked and it will possibly be more convenient. Have you used your 60 day extension to visit wife. This question and my earlier one re covid extension is solely to buy time. Borders will open eventually. You only need one land border open to do border bounce reenter on the spot with visa exempt and obtain your non O at immigration.

OP, when does your current permission of stay end. What is your non O based on. Retirement, marriage, etc ? Also how did you enter Thailand. The reason for asking is that if you could obtain a covid extension that would buy time. Things may change re borders etc. BTW did you consider an exit along with reentry visa exempt and obtain non O in Thailand.. Think entry to Phnom Penh possible and recent news about Philippines.

Not aware of that. I always make a deposit at CW. Also many offices don't require 'activity' meaning deposit or withdrawal. They just require updated bankbook..

First up your list seems complete. Regarding the bank letter and deposit.....I do that with same bank employee. I don't go to the clerks doing withdrawal/deposit etc. I hand over 100b and ask her to deposit and please photocopy that last page of bb.. Then at same time I give over 100b for bank letter. Obviously the letter matches the updated bb.

This is for different type of extension but thread list agents that can assist you.

Here is a thread. I suggested KeyVisa and other posters have named some others.

Yes

Any Thai bank is fine. Some folk use an FD and some a savings. As for transfers I did 3 transfers over 3 days into Kasikorn bank because at that time (one year ago) Wise had a limit on amount of each transfer. ~ $70k USD each transfer. I tagged it as living expenses. In reality purchased real estate.

So let's include the 'that you know of'. You are not aware of because there is none. As for "consensus" ? Who came up with that.

Not in my book. So if entering with a valid non O-A (for example) ....I would buy a 12 month policy as I would be stamped in for 12 months. Nup.

I do not understand this advice. There have been numerous posts where people for one reason or another have used covid extension between their usual extension be that marriage, retirement etc. As I posted earlier.....in the case of the OP, he is best advised to discuss with his immigration office regarding his options. He is not in the position to "rolling over". The immigration office may decide to let it pass or offer him a covid extension in order to season money in bank. If neither then his fallback position would be use of agent..

Thats my small issue. Been in groove with using mail option CW. I prefer to post 15 days early as recommended. The few days wait for approval with online is not the best. However sounds like an improvement on old system.

In most cases of using an agent for extensions it is done ongoing. The friend you refer to will most likely use an agent again. If using money in bank method any extension without agent looks at the bank account retrospectively.

I believe that is correct years ago. Currently you cannot do that. Your permission of stay will be granted till expiry of your passport and there is no "extend date when you have new pp" Message to us all.....never allow pp to get close to expiry. Get a new one even with a year validity remaining..

Have a read of this thread. Think ubonjoe post covered some of your questions.

Tourist Visa isn't difficult. Sometimes it looks complicated but it's a good option. How long do you hope to stay as covid extensions are due to end March 26. Visa exempt entry with Extension would only provide 60 day stay.

A report of achievement? The OP asked if visa exempt entry can be extended. Answer: yes by 30 days per entry.

They would tell you to isolate at home. You could always buy a ATK test prior.

Only one extension per entry. When do you plan to enter Thailand.

You can extend visa exempt entry by 30 days. You would need photocopies of from you pp of identity page, your entry stamp, and your tm6 card both sides. You may also need to provide copy of TM30 that your hotel would have done.

Every entry from a visa exempt can be extended once by 30 days. Best to apply for extension one or 2 weeks prior to expiry of your stamp.

If he did in fact obtain a covid extension there would be zero impact on him obtaining a 12 month extension based on retirement later. Has been done often. As I suggested earlier, in my thinking this is one case where talking with immigration is imo good idea.

OP, what is your non O based on? No alternative for extension for example retirement?

All explained in thread. The OP obtained Non O-A in home country. Medical is part of that application. Also OP explained that cannot obtain income letter from is embassy. He could re check that but I assume he did already try as is aware of income method.
