Agree. It's all about visa/reentry permit. Immigration are not interested in dress code despite ongoing misleading posts. The issue is always regarding ongoing stay in Thailand without a visa

OP question answered. Thread closed

Use Mr Google...I just checked. The results very clear.

Not required. Here is thread with some related information. https://aseannow.com/topic/1325310-applying-in-uk-for-non-o/

He needs to obtain an non O based on retirement. He can do that obtaining an eVisa non O in UK or here in Thailand with a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. He will require a Thai bank account in his name only. That's not a straight forward process and assuming he does not have one then obtaining the non O in UK a good option. He cannot use income method initially as immigration require 12 months of transfers.

Passport country? Which Immigration office?

I thought it was : 75/265 Village No 12,Tambon Nong Prue, Banglamung District Cholburi 20150 Someone doing postal report can confirm..

Renew your pp prior to next extension. Passport country? Several recent threads on passport renewal procedure. Extension is granted for 12 months or if pp expires prior then your extension will be granted till expiry date. In your case 4/26

Just to be clear.....TWO inbound AND outbound flights is not required. Suggest you show an flight to Thailand and onward flight out within 60 days.

Not required

Indeed ...it's not most efficient system..Some folk with appointment thinking they will be called. Not the case. Best to hover at appointment desk with hard copy of your appointment email and present when io has gap

You first go document check

You don't understand. I do not do online reports. I either do them in person when I have business with immigration or do them via mail option.. Currently there seems to be a sync requirement with online reporting match updated TM30. That can be avoided by not using online reports and that's what I'm doing.

You mention Jomitien and now CW. "New entry" on what? Seems you changed address. That requires a TM30.

Jomitien is an irrelevant immigration office in my book. I deal with CW. Don't often do TM47 due to LOT travel out of Thailand. Do not use online reporting. I use mail option for 90 day reporting. Here 12 years and never done a TM30

So you are returning to UK to apply for METV? https://aseannow.com/topic/1319242-metv-current-requirements-london/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1303913-new-requirements-for-applying-for-tourist-e-visa/

Which country do you intend to apply for METV

Very clear Report. Ta

Make an appointment https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/

Depends on the weather regards Jomitien. Can post threads specific to TM30 and Jomitien showing opposite experience at that office. Here is one of several threads showing opposite experience at Jomitien https://aseannow.com/topic/1317557-tm30-or-not/

I'm not referring to various hotels I might stay in. I was referring to having never provided a TM30 to immigration office for anything I have required over the years. For example ...annual extensions retirement, certificate of residence, TM47, Stamp transfer new pp, etc etc

Some info here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1306327-dependenttrailing-spouse-visa-questions/https://aseannow.com/topic/1095532-dependents-of-ed-visa-holders/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1245491-dependant-spouse-with-extension-to-stay-based-on-retirement/

First up thanks for report. Very detailed. I also select first appointment after lunch break. Appointments at CW are not "announced" The first 1pm slot is often a 20 minute + wait as they clear back log of pp from pre lunch applications. Appointment desks are (thinking) L31 Guessing your first appointment experience at CW. Note: for others you need to have hard copy of email appointment confirmation

Correct. Heads up for anyone that obtains reentry permits at airport. Don't waste time attending C2 as the io will tell you to need airport immigration to transfer reentry permit

Indeed. In 2019 we had a rush of reports of denied entry at airports and in particular BKK and DMK. Haven't read many reliable reports of denied entry since covid. Read many of sustained questioning. Bit surprised that you spend 6 weeks out and still denied. Harsh.
