As I understand it CM requires 21 days remaining on your permission of stay to process application for extension. The 60 day extension would take you till approx 7th Oct. You won't be back till approx 7 Sept. However that gives you sufficient time to obtain extension.

The io is not making any sense. This 60 day extension is often obtained in Thailand to extend stay. Sometimes because it suits the applicant or sometimes for added time to season funds in bank etc. IMO the io is talking through his hat.

Can't understand why you were not given a 60 day extension to visit wife.

It's not semantics at all. Also where on the list is it stated that for money in bank method the photocopies of pages of bank book and in addition to that bank statements are required. Perhaps just another office with overkill.

Visa stamps are not transferred. The information about the visa eg what type etc, is written in the first two pages of the new passport.

Completely irrelevant. You assume covid extensions are being provided due to being "stranded". Incorrect assumption. Covid extensions are available up till July 25. You can read it in the Royal Gazette. The offices that are not issuing them just want you to use an agent. It's called scam..

Will remain with current date. May 2023. Also the error with 2 names on bankbook was basic mistake made by mother. Very lucky to be given the extension

OP, in addition to photocopies of bank pages you also provided bank statement. Was this requested or just provided by yourself. You should not require photocopies of all passport pages. At for original non O......if in old pp that should not be required. The information pertaining to original non O is entered into first couple of pages of new pp.

OP, be aware that if married to a Thai national you can obtain 60 day extension to visit wife, if more time required

OP, what is point of your thread. We find out on July 25 thereabouts. Many immigration offices have stopped issuing covid extensions, despite it being available in the gazette. Mind you they will give you one if you pay 5-6k baht.

Exactly. The non O gives you 90 day stamp. In the last 30 days of that permit with money having been in account for 2 months then apply for 12 month extension.

A non O marriage requires 400k in Thai bank in your name an day of application. The 12 month extension would require money in bank for 2 months on day of application and maintain in bank for the under consideration period

You would be obtaining a 12 month extension based on Marriage. Using money in bank method that would require you to have 400k in Thai bank in your name for 2 months prior to application. You could also consider obtaining your non O in Thailand after arrival given that at some point you require funds in the bank.

First up thanks for the report. Being Oz I require a visa. It seems that I can obtain 30 day visa however what I require is 90 day multi entry which does not seem available.

My last post on the new hip. So a brief recap: 5 days in hospital. No pain really. First day home to condo and used walker. May have tried bit hard first few days and actually cut back a bit on amount of walking up and down hallway. So back to hospital 10 days later for check. So at this time I started feeling much better in the leg and walked further each day. Think a simple piece of advice from Sheryl was good for me. "Listen to your body". Yesterday purchased some sticks that also grip your arms. Tried some stairs and that, while slow, was not too difficult. So tomorrow is 3 weeks post operation. We are off to the Bang Saen speed festival tomorrow and hopefully that works out ok. I won't drive but think cab ok option. I don't plan to rush too quickly from walker as they say with this operation......Rule #1 don't fall. Sincere thanks to all the advice given in this thread.

Best option is treetops post above. Alternatively you can mail your report.

Thanks for the report. I have NEVER heard of immigration asking for proof on onward flight when entering with a tourist visa. Wonder what's going on.

There will be no gnashing of teeth. Fact is currently covid extensions are available up till July 25. That's what's in the gazette. End of. Attached is messenger chat from my friends at Hua Hin obtaining covid extension (their first) in January. Make no mistake immigration corrupt to the bone.

Yes the 90 day report. I think you are asking about TM30 notification.

Immigration offices are just showing themselves as being bunch of minions. The higher up ones just out and out scam artists. Covid extensions should be available at all offices up till July 25. My advice use an agent. Granted 5-5.5k (includes the 1900 extension fee) but much better than trip to Phuket with TM30 required etc. Fight corruption with corruption. This embassy letter scam was tried on my 2 friends in Hua Hin as far back as early this year. They paid 5500baht each

The OP is non O retirement extension advice. Not extension based on marriage.

@OJAS seems I was only able to change my password as I registered when very first introduced. Not possible now? Refer to ubonjoe post above. Originally it was possible. Here is my email Dec 3 and I just changed to my usual password. Pity if that's not possible now. Guess with password manager (remember password) it's not a big deal.

I changed to my own password when I first registered. No problem.. From memory received email with "change password" link.

The OP has been using the term "report" ...poor choice. The thread is about TM30 notification. From the OP...... 'Sorry did not write more details, the receipt of notification of the adress, we get after tm 30 form was sent"
