Seems that you obtained a NON O-A Visa. That visa is valid for one year and is multiple entry. It also requires insurance. Obtained only in home country or country where you have Permanent Resident status. This thread is not about Non O-A. The OP is trying to obtain a Non O single entry. I don't know why as he can enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain a Non O at local immigration office. There is also a Multiple entry Non O which is no longer available.

You are correct. I overlooked pretty important word. Ta. Some folk use DEE Money

Very rare that immigration would want to see cash. With a visa it wouldn't happen. Bank application etc is useless. Again with a visa this would not be required. Visa exempt the airline at departure may require onward flight. Unlikely immigration on arrival would ask to see onward flight You are asking about METV vs Visa Exempt. Suggest decide on one option and limit your questions to that.

WISE also do transfers of up to 2mil to Kasikorn and BBL. 1.5M to SCB.

Can't see why onward would be required. You are not (imo) entering Thailand. You remain airside. For convenience I would print out your flight tickets rather than have on phone.

That's exactly what will happen. Airline and immigration will only be interested in eVisa hard copy.

Yes however 100% do not do border run without using minivan agent. Bangkok/Pattaya to Cambodia good option. Keep up to date with reports closer to time you need it

METV allows multiple entries. You are stamped in for 60 days. You can apply for 30 day extension each entry. By exit and reenter just prior to expiry of METV you would be stamped in for 60. Then can extend by 30. Hence 9 months. After that a border run for 60 which can be extended by 30

For a 12 month stay in Thailand I suggest a METV would be good option. That will cover up to 9 months and then border bounce for visa exempt entry using border run company can extent the stay

It's not a visa. You are flying visa exempt entry. The airline at departure may require onward flight. Best option is within 60 days however recent posts indicate that within 90 would be possible by explaining intention to obtain 30 day extension. The METV would be an eVisa application. You will provide what's required in that application. Most likely flight into Thailand. Flight out within 60 and perhaps some accommodation details upon entry. Best to outline how long you plan to stay in Thailand for best advice.

At CW up till recently a 90 day report was required however good news is that's not the case now. The items you list should be sufficient. If you have a lease provide it if not ok. At CW the COR will be mailed out to you. Cost 200b The COR will arrive ~ 5-7 days after application. Indeed a COR is required for TDL and bank account. My first post in attached thread has link to form for CW https://aseannow.com/topic/1328126-residence-certificate-requirements/

Knock yourself out. Will achieve nothing. BTW: Can you add my complaints regarding TM30, TM47, etc etc

That's what he meant by one day. BTW : I also have never received an eVisa overnight. I often obtain eVisa to Vietnam and that a 4-5 day turn around. In any event you can continue to complain or as suggested obtain the Non O in Thailand from visa exempt entry.

OP, best to quit with the rants. If eVisa not working for you then enter Thailand visa exempt. Obtain a Non O marriage at your local immigration office in Thailand. After 60 days obtain 12 month extension.

So what visa are you applying for? A single entry Non O marriage OR a Multiple Entry Non O visa valid for one year. In unrelated thread... @Tod Daniels stated..... "Since all the consulates switched over to the eVisa online web-portal the year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa (for marriage, retirement) was discontinued"

Previously Savannakhet was good option. Now all visas are via eVisa (online) and that may take several days. Added issue is currently no online payments. There is better option

So here you got the [only] answer, whingeing is pointless. And why bother with obtaining a Tourist Visa. He can simply enter visa exempt and obtain a Non O retirement and subsequent 12 month extension.

Here is an example of flight ticket for your route. The "connection protected" means your bags (if any) are transferred to next flight. You won't be "stamped in" at DMK.

Surely missing a zero after the 12. Life is a fitting sentence

Correct reply above from Upnotover. Thread closed.

Leave it blank You just had reentry permit thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1352004-re-entry-permit/#elControls_19593365_menu Despite your concerns re obtaining at airport perhaps the 200b service fee for filling in TM8 might be an option. Note: also if obtaining permit at immigration the departure date is irrelevant along with return date. The permit will expire same as current permission of stay date.

You posted .... "This immigration officer (a grumpy old lady) looked at me and asked me "why are you still alone after living so many years in Thailand" and refused my extension because my TM3 was not valid" You mean TM30. Why was it not valid if you had a new TM30. So why was your extension refused if TM30 in order

Not necessarily anymore as has been reported in many threads. My own personal experience in Thailand dealing with CW was for first 10+ years I had NEVER done a TM30. In last two years I provided a TM30 obtained just prior to attending for extension retirement. Keep up to date

Seems you were not prepared. Above you mention TM3. That would be TM30. The requirements are very straightforward for extensions retirement. Just be aware of what immigration office requires.
