I am astonished reading so many comments claiming he is guilty (and a few not). I ask myself how you can come to those statements. Own dirty business connection? Or simple prejudgment? Well I agree that his careers ups and downs raises questions including the shooting on his car. But to me it is unclear if all those things happened because he stepped on sensible feet or if his hands are dirty. Sadly I am not sure if I will ever hear the truth. But I follow the idea to regard someone is innocent until opposite is proven. Wouldn't you like to be treated that way too if you had (wrong?) accusations?

Sorry if I failed to express the things in a way to understand my situation completely. But even though your answer helped already, thanks. I did not expect that i can apply 30/45 days prior ... I had a shorter period in mind. 30 days would work, 45 days would be great for me, no stress. Could you do me another favour and explain to me why you wrote "30/45 days"? When do 45 days apply? And I did not know, that presenting a flight ticket could even help. I have to go to the Immigration in Lampang.

Hello all together, I have an extension of stay based on a NON O Visa (retirement) and a mulitiple reentry permission on top. All arranged without using an agent and circumventing potential problems and I want to do so in the future too. I would like to leave Thailand in the end of november for 4 weeks - which is around the date when my EoS is coming to its end on 14th Dec 2023. As far as I remeber there is just a special period of time around the date of expiry to appy for a renewal. (Right now I am not aware of the exact details). And I guess that i would like to be outside Thailand during that whole period. Have you got any good suggestions for me how to obtain an extension legally quite early? (I don't want to apply for a new eVisa in my home country). PS.: ... if there is no easy solution available I will probably not leave Thailand at that time. Thanks for your help Uwe

I was in the same situation about returning but decided differently than you even though I had troubles with the paper for the Non O visa based on retirement too. My different decision was based on two things: 1. I was worried about having problems when I want to change to from visa exempt to Non O within Thailand. Even having all requirements correctly I fear that (fabricated) problems might arise and I refuse go for special solutions. 2. I have to travell about 100 km to immigration which consumes money and a lot of time. So I decided to apply for the visa in Europe. If I was lucky everything would be fine (and I got my eVisa already now). If I wasn't lucky I still have the visa exempt as fall back solution.
