  1. Nevermind. What you are talking about as a relevance to this topic about landlords living overseas regards maybe 0,5% of the landlords at a maximum. Very relevant to the discussion. Thanks for the input.

    Where comes this 0,5% comes from? How many Thais are married to foreigners and have properties in Thailand but live overseas? I think it is much more..

  2. Congratulations on 25 years, but your right that you probably can't get an extension without your wife being with you. I'd be aware that they could see a Non O based on Marriage and ask where your wife is. Have a good answer ready if asked
    Either she trusts you (most don't) or she OK with you being here by yourself.

    Thank you , they never asked. I am using the non o visas for more than 20 years now.

  3. If you apply for an extension they mostly want to do a home visit and question neighbors about your married life. They also want pictures of you and you wife at home, in front of your home, etc. How would you pull this off if your wife is in Germany. I can't see how you could meet the requirements.
    They are trying to prevent marriage for convenience which is a reported problem.  

    This is what I said, I cannot apply for an extension. Marriage for convenience since more than 25 years!

  4. It simply means that getting Non O might not have the burden to show 400/800 K in a Thai bank account for two months. The other requirements are quit easy. If you do a 90 day in/out you don't need to show funds in a Thai bank. Why else would most people not want to do an extension at the immigration office. I'm not saying all but at least so reason this way.

    If on a Non O based on marriage and not living with the wife would be a problem.

    No problem m I am living with my wife most of the time in Germany

    I am getting the visa because I am married to a Thai, not for the reason I am visiting her, for that reason I cannot apply for an extension So it is not the money

  5. I guess the reason people chooses the Non-immigrant 0 ME, must be the requirements. They have enough money for 90 days, but not for a 1 year extension.

    Definitely not. The reason is that i can’t get an extension ,as my wife has permanent residency in Germany and likes to stay and work in Germany. I stay in Thailand no longer as 90 days per entry and have due my Consultancy work to leave Thailand very often. We both have a very high salary, so money is not the issue

  6. I can't imagine why anyone would ever bother filing in such circumstances. This would be a bit like reporting to the police station and voluntarily turning yourself in for speeding, when you hadn't been caught doing it. 

    Agree , especially when you leave early in the morning to BKK where you possibly stay in a hotel,which reports you.

  7. I was googling to see if I could find if this is a Thai specific thing, or whether the laws have parity with those from the West. The best explanation I found was in this article on Zimbabwean law, which sounds quite similar in the distinction made between ownership and possession. If immigration continue to stubbornly insist on TM30s for all travel, but manage to create a user friendly and reliable app and a more reasonable timeframe for reporting, this is at least easier for people to comply with than hassling the landlord each time you return. I'd be curious if any legal minds on the forum know whether this is common legal practice in law in the major Western countries.
     
    "Although the terms “ownership” and “possession” may be closely related, they are not synonyms. They, however, both relate to property, be it movable or immovable, tangible or intangible.
    To start with, ownership is just that, ownership. On the other hand, possession is the state of being in actual physical control of something.
    Often, ownership and possession are crocheted together where the owner and the possessor are one and the same.
    It is common cause that a thing can be owned by one person and yet be possessed by another.
    A good example is what happens in a lease agreement. The property is owned by the landlord but is possessed by the tenant. If you send your car to the mechanic for service, the mechanic becomes the possessor but you remain the owner."

    What if you don’t have a lease agreement because you are married to the Landlord and you wife don’t know you are stay overnight in her property?

  8. The TM30 was originally brought in to keep track of the movements of potential terrorists of a bygone era, including the Chinese Communist insurgents of the 1970s, as well as the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge. It was revived, according to the recent "narak" immigration video as a result of Islamic terrorists assembling bombs in their unregistered accommodation. 

    Chinese communist insurgery =over,
    Vietnam war over
    Khmer Rouge over
    Islamic terrorists
    What has all this to do with westerners?
