Much appreciated... I will enter on the Non-Imm O and get a re-entry permit.

I have been out of Thailand for 5 months, and my last extension of stay (marriage) has expired. I assume I need to get a new Non-Imm O (I am in the UK at the moment, so probably easier for me to get here) and then re-enter for 90 days then EOS again. However, I don't want to activate the new Non-Imm O the next time I enter Thailand - I want to enter on a visa exempt (for a few days), leave Thailand (for a further month), then enter on my Non-Imm O and trigger the 90 days. Presumably so long as I enter using the Non-Imm O within the 3 month validity of the visa that's OK? From memory, I hand over a letter granting the Non-Imm O - I don't send my passport to the embassy hence no sticker. Or would my passport be "in the system" and they would just stamp in my Non-Imm O by default? Appreciate any advice. Thanks

OK yes, thanks, I'll look into that.

I am on a re-entry permit with Non-O marriage. My next flight out of Thailand is on day 94 following my last re-entry to Thailand. As 94 days is within the "7 days after", the 2000 baht fine wouldn't be due when I exited, but would it be due when I re-entered? And could there be any issues re-entering? (I just read elsewhere that online reporting is rejected 1st time after re-entry, and I don't want to spend a day at CW if I can just pay a 2000 baht fine.) Many thanks

I am going to CW this week to get a new stamp for 1 year extension (marriage). I did all the paperwork and got the "Under Consideration" stamp 3 weeks ago. Do I need to take anything other than my passport? For example, do I need updated bank book copies? And in terms of queues, would I be in the same queue as 3 weeks ago when they checked all the paperwork? Many thanks ...

Much appreciated @DrJack54

Yes, has been there since a year ago...

Just been reading about the EOS. My current EOS expires on 9 October ie. in less than a month. Does that mean I'm too late to apply for a new EOS?

My wife has just tried to do a TM30 online and it seems to register the address, she needs to be the owner or house master (can't do it as the possessor). To do a TM30, does she need to do it at CW? Any problems with doing it just before the appointment for the EOS?

I've done 1 90 day report (to get a certificate of residence), but I've been in and out of the country so haven't had to do any more than that. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

I thought I needed to be on a lease or house book...

So my wife can do a TM30 for me for the condo she's renting (that I'm staying at)? They gave me a hard time doing EOS last year at CW even though I *was* on a lease. Asked for the landlord's chanote. One of the reasons I didn't want to do EOS this year.

I'm approaching the end of my Non-Imm O marriage EOS (from CW). I have enough funds in the bank but may name's not on any Tabien Baan or rental agreement at the moment (just staying at my wife's rented condo, but I'm not on the agreement). So I'm not going to do another 1-year EOS. I was thinking about getting a 1 year ME Non-Imm O marriage visa at Savannakhet, but I 'm not sure whether a copy of my wife's Tabien Baan is enough, or whether I need to be on a Tabien Baan or a rental agreement myself. Is the 1 year ME Non-Imm O marriage an option? Or am I faced with the following (in the short term): - Re-enter on visa-free, then extend (30 days?) - Get a SETV in another SEA country (60 + 30?) - Get a METV in another SEA country (60 + 30?) Thanks

OP again. Appreciate all the comments. Yes, the purchase covers both land and house. It's a Usufruct apparently. I assume that's no problem so long as the occupier attends the Transfer at the Land Office in person and agrees to their removal from the Chanote. I will be getting a lawyer, regardless.

We are looking to buy a house in a moo ban. The agent says that the name on the chanote (ie. the owner of the land) is Thai, but that the chanote also specifies ownership of the house on the land - this being owned by a foreigner. Nothing is owned by a company, apparently. The agent says that on transfer, 3 parties would need to be present ie. the Thai land owner, the foreign house owner and the buyer (NB. buyer is Thai). Is this relatively "safe" and straightforward vs. say, just buying from a Thai who owns both land and house? Thinking I may need to use a lawyer whereas I wouldn't bother if it was just a Thai name on the chanote... Many thanks
