You started a thread that I closed. Vague at best. Suggest you attend immigration if desperate for clarification. Local immigration office can swipe pp and inform you if you were flagged for some reason. Doubt it. Sounds like jumping at shadows. Fact is you were admitted into Thailand. Also seems you were excluded from some accommodation in Krabi. You stated.... "Anyways i notice when i get into immigration the officers eyes lit up and read something on the screen, then said something well ok i 'll let you in with hesitation" The io used the word "hesitation". NO did not.

And you expect forum to take a wild guess at your issue. Vague post at best. -
Extension OA Retirement based on income
DrJack54 replied to lykes2fly's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's an issue. Previously Jomitien were requiring 800k in bank for 2 months prior to application. That's incorrect (only required on day of application) but that's one hobby of Jomitien. Good luck tis not simple. Folk have obtained COR at Jomitien with tourist visa status You could obtain the non O from outside of Thailand. It's all eVisa now. With a Non O status you can open a bank account. You could consider using an agent to open bank account especially as you are located Pattaya. -
Extension OA Retirement based on income
DrJack54 replied to lykes2fly's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You entered visa exempt and received 60 day stamp. Now extended by 30 days. It does not need to be Bangkok Bank (BBL) any Thai bank a/c in your name only will suffice. Not easy to open on tourist status. At minimum you will require a "certificate of residence" from immigration.. That won't work.. You would initially obtain a Non O from your current permission of stay and that requires 800k in the bank on day of application. Immigration will require 15 days remaining on permission of stay to apply for Non O retirement. Some offices. CM, Phuket require longer. For first 12 month extension you would need to show 12 monthly transfers from abroad. Without embassy "income letter" (USA does not provide) so you need to use "money in bank" method. Over that 12 months start the transfer to change to income method in the second year. Where are you located. In other words which immigration office? -
The EMS posting is a requirement for report via mail. Has never happen to me however have read a report where the person did not receive the return mail and when eventually did attend immigration in person did a TM47 also showed the tracking and was NOT fined. Personally pretty much over it. Travel often and more that likely leave it till next annual extension and possible 2k fine. As for the TM30....I made perhaps 4+ trips abroad in last 12 months.. For extension on Nov 5....I obtained TM30 from apartment office. Went to CW they accepted my TM30 for extension. Next off to 90 report desk. Only provided filled in TM47 and pp. No fines.

You can obtain a 30 day extension and follow that with a border bounce for another visa exempt entry. Of course this just buys time. Be aware that border bounces have shifted recently and some requiring overnight stays 1-2 nights. Current thread running on this. Recommended to use border run agents. Depends where you are located in Thailand. https://aseannow.com/topic/1347328-nong-khai-border-bounce-avoid/

Nong Khai Border Bounce 2025
DrJack54 replied to DrJack54's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Please. Hardly useful as you have no idea why the 30 day extension was refused. Could have been as simple as incomplete paperwork. The 7 days is not an extension it's a leave Thailand within 7 days. -
OP, thinking your issue is with trying to get married in Thailand while your stamp for permission of stay is in UK pp. It may be that you have to exit Thailand and kill off the non O. Return to Thailand visa exempt on your Irish pp. Subsequently get married. The visa exempt would provide 60 day stamp. Can be extended by 30 or 60 if married at that point.. Obtain a non O based on marriage from your visa exempt entry and subsequent 12 month extension.
