You can take the woman out of Thailand but cannot take Thailand out of the woman..

The 50k "covid insurance" is same for non O and O-A. Your thinking of the additional insurance requirement for non O-A.

This occured few years ago in Hua Hin.

For first extension this is common. If you obtain another covid extension in future it should date from end of you permission of stay. The under consideration period is common.

The discussion about onward ticket requirement is from the airline at check in. If someone has a visa or reentry permit the airline will not require you to show onward flight.

Reports from CW that immigration officer being bombastic and treating people rudely. Along with request to show outbound flight. Try and ignore that rubbish. Misery loves company. You need to go to immigration Friday or Monday. I'm not aware of CW being open this Saturday. Good luck.

Im one of the folk that thought this thread was what we call click bait. Meaning a made up story. This will sound harsh but just one person's opinion. Your wife will return to Thailand. That's a given. If you had money and a job etc she might have even agreed to leaving son with you. Thinking better future for son. That won't happen given your situation. You will end up going to Thailand also with wife approval and encouragement. You have a million baht. With a farmhouse that money will last much longer than it would for most. When that's gone you will be cut. Sadly if that occurs you will have no petrol in the tank. No government support here in Thailand such as medical etc. Then in few years you will post that your on overstay and can't get back to Sweden.

Up to you where you obtain the Non O marriage. Can do in UK or obtain a non O in Thailand after return via visa exempt entry. Personally I would enter visa exempt and obtain the Non O in Thailand. After that obtain 12 month extension based on marriage.

You joining some pretty far apart dots there. My guess is that your particular condo has not been filing TM30 for non Thai customers.

Many people with reentry permits (with several months validity) have been entering thailand with 30 day policy.

For very first covid extension many folk had the 60 days start from the day they applied. Subsequent extensions commenced from date of expiry of existing extension.

Did you have a visa or reentry permit.. Just curious that you had a 30 day policy. Did you enter visa exempt.

Not sure about this. It's an "emergency travel document" Granted looks exactly same as pp. I have a feeling that you cannot apply for an extension with this document. Happy to stand corrected.

For each entry you are given 60 day permission of stay. Prior to that expiry you can obtain a 30 day extension. 1900baht. If you exit Thailand you will need to satisfy the current entry requirements. These are fluid and it appears test and go is being reintroduced. You can just turn up for extension or make appointment. Some basic photocopies are required. Here is link for appointment. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/#serviceonline

Here is link to topic in Thailand News forum .

Article from Thaiger states Feb 1. "The Thailand Pass Test & Go program has been rebooted, and vaccinated travellers will be able to register for (almost) quarantine-free entry to Thailand re-starting February 1." Quoted from Thaiger news.

Can understand the nerves. As soon as the information your looking for is announced you will see it on AseanNow.. Ubonjoe will no doubt post it as soon as Its announced along with Thai news forum. ThaiVisaCentre has great track record of posting that information and they will do that in this forum.

Yes you can. Not being picky but your not ",extend to non O. Enter visa exempt and apply for non O retirement. You need 800k in Thai bank on day you apply. The non O gives you 90 day permit. In the last 30 days with the 800k having been in bank for 2 months you can obtain 12month extension.

What bit dont you get. I live here on retirement extensions. Never had any clerks to my home. My extensions at CW are over in very short time once per year. My reports are via mail. This thread was about a home visit. Not laws of the land such as road laws. They are in every country. Thread not about that. About goons doing home visit. I don't have any.

You have a choice. Select what suits you..

What? I already suggested he should obtain Oz pp and enter Thailand on that. She will also exit Thailand with that pp. She currently does not even have a Thai pp. She can obtain one when she is in Thailand.

I don't have any visits. I'm living in a foreign country.

Ask yourself one question. If the financials were the same for marriage and retirement. Which would you obtain your extensions on. Retirement or Marriage. Your accepting home visit because ......less inconvenient money wise. I don't need to accommodate any clerk wishing to visit my home.

I value my privacy. I love living here and no issues. I use extentions retirement. Would do even if I was married.

Not sure if I'm allowed to say that statement is ridiculous, but it certainly is. <removed>
