First up it will not take 1-2 months. The embassy and consulate websites are often out of date. More likey couple of weeks. Yes you do need to mail your pp for stamp . You should not go to Penang. Bad idea as pointed out by earlier post.. An option not mentioned so far is visa exempt entry from Oz to Bangkok + extension. Followed by border run +extension. Followed by second border run you are permitted 2 per calendar year = 5 months.

Only unlimited visa exempt entries I am aware of is Malaysian pp holders. The countries that you mention receive 90 days. Seems your pp nationality is a required secret. I'm Oz. For Malaysians entering by land border, there is no limitation in issuing the 30-day visa exemption stamp. Travelers from Korea, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Chile will receive permission to stay in Thailand for up to 90 days under Visa Exemption. This applies to both airport and land border entries.

I'm a Saigon junkie so a 3 night stay in district 1 would be my go. With only one Tourist visa in pp would be zero issues with visa exempt entry via air. Of course depends where OP is planning to stay in Thailand.

OP, yes your plan would work. Personally think obtaining SETV while in Oz and doing one border run better option Of course still two trips to immigration for extensions.

Clearly you don't deal with CW or live in the boonies where travel might be 50k up to immigration office.

Yes. Russia has bi lateral agreement with Thailand and the 2 visa exempt by land per calendar year does not apply to them. Why not state your pp country and cut to the chase.

There have been reports of cancel and resubmit being successful. If you end up having to attend CW use the appointment option. It works very well. You need to print out your appointment confirmation email.. At ticket office go to far right side. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

Very helpful post. Thank you.. There is a big difference for ME Non O marriage. Which is a 5000b visa valid for one year vs single entry non O .

That's good advice for some fields. The drop down menu is the winner. Regarding magnifying glass for autofill... So embarrassed that I did several until was alerted of that option. Another example of learn from forum advice.

This question has been discussed previously. Just ONE simple requirement (in my understanding is flight from home country to Thailand) So many threads along lines of .. "I'm currently in Thailand can I go to nearby country and apply for e-Visa (eg UK citizen) and then enter Thailand. It's a loop hole to very poorly implementation of e-visa. Some folk even inquired about METV that can only be obtained in your pp country. Many folk trying to scam the intention of e-visa to Thailand.

Seriously. Read @Lemsta69 post. Here is part of that ... "You can either go back to France where your French passport gives you the "right of abode" or fly to a nearby country that accepts applications from foreign nonresidents." SInce you are in Korea the best plan is to forget e-Visa and fly to country where you can apply for visa at a Thai consulate. one example would be Saigon as flights might be an option. Having French pp you can visa exempt entry to Vietnam..

The Thai address means nothing. You have a French pp. The word "residency" is being misunderstood. Do you have Permanent Resident status in Thailand. I'm guessing not.

Maybe next visit if you want a year grab a METV and chuck on couple of visa exempt visa entries via land.

I posted this early in your thread.. "Been in Thailand ongoing 17 months. Please update with what happens re Vientiane. I wouldn't do it." OP, you made a good call and imo dodged a bullet.

Indeed looks like this. Folk should not be concerned if the return back date is past the expiry of current permit. Edit: In attached pic ...disregard last line "Thai Entry Permit......"

Just to be clear. Are you obtaining a Multi entry non O marriage visa valid for 12months OR A non O marriage single entry visa? There is thread for ME non O Marriage posted earlier. Here is excellent report for non O marriage. https://aseannow.com/topic/1263040-non-o-visa-run-to-savannakhet-june-2022/ Edit: this thread is also multi entry 12 month visa.

Indeed they do and has been posted several times for various offices. Most recent here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1298009-money-in-bank-for-extension-based-on-marriage-minimum-must-be-kept-there-whilst-under-consideration/?do=findComment&comment=18146776

You will be applying for 12 month extension of stay based on marriage (it's not a visa). You be given a return date for report back to immigration. Can be a month later. Referred to as "under consideration period" Do not interprete that as anything other than final tick off. If using money in bank method you should maintain funds in the bank during this period.

That's correct. After the initial one the data is kept. After the passport entry and (maybe) surname click on the magnifying glass and bingo all filled in.. Even that can have a glitch. I was having no problems up until recently. My report rejected ...."no room number" Sort of strange given that the address was stored and autofill.

When you mention agent along with 15 months... Did the agent cover the financial requirements? Also where was the non O and extension stamps issued. You are using this link right https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add

OP, both you and your friend applied for a non O based on marriage. That visa provides a 90 day stamp however it has an "under consideration period" where paperwork is checked by divisional headquarters and also home visit. You are given a return date and that is to give you stamp that has expiry date 90 days from your application date. But wait there is more.... In the last 30 days of that stamp with 400k having been in bank for 2 months you apply for 12 month extension.

Yes of course along with AU and USA embassies. That does not prevent citizens of those countries using income method. Just requires more evidence. As mentioned in this thread.

You are correct. Sorry. Read through thread. The OP has not contributed at all since starting thread. Yet has time to post in chat threads such as "no grab delivery" etc. I hate these threads. Of course your post is correct. If OP has not already applied for extension it will be granted Either way will cost him 1900b for application. Perhaps a mod will put this thread to an end.

Think you misunderstood the situation. The OP required extra couple of days. Seems has used extension already. In that situation he can apply for extension knowing full well that's not an option and will be denied He would be then given a 7 day "get out of dodge stamp" It's not a 7 day extension

This has come up previously. Example UK citizen in say Vietnam can he apply for SETV e-Visa from UK when they are in (as stated) somewhere like Vietnam. IMO it was a flaw in the e-Visa introduction.
