  1. No changes to current requirements using money in the bank method for extensions based on retirement. Rule #1 : disregard almost anything stated by I L
  2. 30 day extension starts from end of 30 day stamp. It's common to apply for 30 day extension couple of weeks prior to expiry. Not sure how many days Roiet need to apply for non O. Most offices minimum 15. CM 21. Assume you have Thai bank account OP you may be interested in this thread. Bit of worry. https://aseannow.com/topic/1296821-some-imm-offices-refusing-to-do-the-change-of-visa-process-applying-for-90-day-non-imm-o-visa-from-a-visaexempt-entry/
  3. When there are many transactions in a particular month they can be "consolidated" Totalled up so not every transaction is entered into bank book. Unrelated : I had trouble at CW using money in bank method for retirement extension. I use a dedicated bank account and maintain 800k all year round. No consolidated entries. All good one would imagine. NO .....they were not happy that some months had zero entries. You can't win with immigration
  4. You will be fine. When were you last in Thailand.
  5. You are very confused. Provide information re your pp country and options to stay in Thailand and you will receive advice. Your OP is vague at best. No one is "invited to stay" Perhaps a transition problem. Just outline what you trying to do.
  6. It is very clear what is required for a non O based on marriage and also very clear what is required for subsequent 12month extension. The OP has better options than your other earlier post . "Visa exempt , extension to visa exempt (1900 baht) , None O (2000 baht) extension to non O (1900) so total 6000 baht , and you get 5 months Am I correct?" .. Possible but foolish option.
  7. You were able to open bank account because you have a non-O The yellow book had nothing to do with it. A non O and eg rental agreement would have been sufficient. In fact the non O alone would cut it with some banks. I opened new account with Kasikorn (yes 2 years ago) With pp. I'm on extensions from non O. Had a lease and TM47 . From memory were not looked at. Things have changed a lot (esp Bangkok) in last couple of years due to money laundering laws.
  8. What is status in Thailand? Which province. If you are on extensions from eg a non O, a certificate of residence would not be required at some banks
  9. This has been asked previously. I'm not aware of "rule" that would prevent it however there are other easy options. Just one example is to enter visa exempt and obtain 60 day extension to visa wife. Depends how long is planned visits.
  10. Travel with both passports. Attend immigration after you return for transfer of visa information and any required stamps such as reentry permit stamp. This can be done anytime.
  11. Have you already used "60 day extension to visit wife" . When will you have the 400k. It only needs to be in bank for 2 months. If you kill off your non O by exit Thailand and obtain SETV that means you start the process over. You would need to obtain a non O and subsequent extension. Very messy and somewhat costly. Bad plan.
  12. He entered visa exempt hence it would be Laksi
  13. It's obvious Refused entry at land border you have option. If refused entry by Thai immigration via air upon arrival you are flown back to point of departure. Can end in world of pain
  14. If flying visa exempt that would be be mistake from AirAsia check in chick. Don't doubt your account. Just for other readers this is an outliner. AirAsia will insist upon onward flight flying visa exempt Saigon to Thailand.
  15. That is incorrect. Immigration OFTEN ask for TM30 screenshot. MANY threads re this. Here is one https://aseannow.com/topic/1294130-exempt-visa-extension-denied-because-of-no-tm-30/
  16. You have left it very late. For folk on visa exempt entry or tourist visa do not need to do anything regards TM30 UNLESS they plan to attend immigration for a 30 day extension. Knowing that prior to check into a hotel you ask if they do a TM30 and can provide you with screenshot of filing . You are going to Laksi. The document check chicks will most likely ask for your TM30. You have backed yourself into foolish situation.
  17. Seriously you are asking weird questions. In this forum folk just repeat what they read..eg "avoid female immigration officer" . You have been given lot of advice in various threads. Push the boundaries and accept refused entry. It's not holdem poker.
  18. You mean Laksi IT mall..Bangkok ? They will ask for a TM30. Read BritTim post above.
  19. Plenty of good agents in Pattaya. Go to Maneerat Soi 13/2 (Soi post office) and have a chat. Agents don't charge for a chat to discuss options. If you are in Jomtien then Tic Tok visa services is an option.
  20. Where are you located in Thailand. It might be best to chat with an agent re any non ED visa options. Won't be cheap.
  21. Buy a PE (elite) visa ... OR "Way under 50" obtain a non b and get a job. Can't do that then obtain dodgy non ED visa with an agent . You have back yourself into unrealistic situation imo. Good luck.
  22. No it will not. Seems you are asking about 30 day extension to either tourist visa or visa exempt. Which immigration office are you using for extension?
