The immigration officers were completely wrong. The rules clearly state a Thai can enter with a expired passport. The constitution even states a Thai cannot be denied entry to the country.

Topic is already in the news forum. No need for another topic. This topic closed,

Update on my missing 7162 report received by email today from the USPS. It is no longer missing. I assume it may of been found and per my missing mail request it was sent to the SSA.

No Immigration would back date the extension to the day a persons permit to stay ended.

A multiple entry tourist visa can only be applied for in your home country or where you have legal residency. He cannot get one in Savannakhet.

Immigration is closed due to holidays and the weekend. He will not be fined for a overstay.

Since immigration is closed until Monday you will not be fined for a overstay if you do it on Monday. It is a immigration rule that if your permit to stay ends when immigration is closed you will not be fined for it.

Requirements for the passport application is here in Thai. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/publicservice/doc4passport She may have a problem applying for one since at the least a Thai ID card is needed. If under 20 she will need parental consent to apply for the new passport.

It will need to done according to the procedures if you want to register your foreign marriage at a Amphoe to get a Kor Ror 22 marriage registry that immigration requires to apply for a extension based upon marriage to a Thai. You can do the legalization by mail. Others have had friends or family in the UK to the mailing for the legalization and stamping by the embassy and then back to you.

The 20k baht is not only a immigration requirement. The MFA also uses the 20k baht requirement. On many embassy websites it is stated in the visa requirement. This from the embassy in the US. Source: https://thaiembdc.org/2020/07/11/foreigners_family/ Dependent upon the exchange rate you will find that is 20k baht. That has been accepted for a visa application at HCMC and at many other embassies and consulates. It is about equal to your wife signing copies of a her ID card and house book registry at immigration, embassies and consulate.

Thais can enter with a expired passport. She should of stood her ground and got stamped in as a Thai. Immigration will only stamp her US passport when leaving the country. Since she entered with the US passport she is under the immigration rules for non Thais, If she is staying longer than 45 days the visa exempt entry allowed she will need to apply for a 30 day extension.

These are the accepted Thai insurance companies for the medical insurance requirement. https://longstay.tgia.org/companiesoa

Many people have left the country with a 90 day report that is very late. Immigration on departure from the country do not check for a up to date 90 day reports. Most people remove the 90 day report receipt before leaving the country. Your day report is not past due for 7 days after the report date.

Spell check is from your browser. That is not a forum function.

You report will not be due again until 90 days from the day you enter the country. Yes I assume you have gotten a re-entry permit if you are on a extension of stay.

A 90 day report is not past due until 7 days after the report date. As I wrote immigration does not check for 90 day reports when leaving the country.

You will not need to do a 90 day report. Also airport immigration does not check for them being done.

You can only apply for one 30 day extension of a visa exempt entry. It has been that for many years. In 2020 there were some special 30 day extensions due to coivid 19. The Mae Sai crossing is closed to foreigners like all other crossings to Myanmar. The nearest crossing open is to Laos.

A few other office have also wanted the proof of income certified by the Department of Consular Affairs of the MFA. It is just a certification of consular officer that signed the document. The wanting proof of the funds is bit over the top but some offices want it. It should not require proof it came from abroad when using a income document from a embassy. A few offices have accepted proof of a pension income from your home country.

Did you get married here in Thailand or in the UK. If the UK it has to be legalized in the UK. The procedure is here in the file from the UK embassy. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/714089/Legalisation_info_June_2018.pdf If married here your marriage certificate would not need to be translated if using it here. If legalization is needed it can be done by the Department of Consular Affairs of the MFA. Info in Thai is here. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/page/cate-6441-รับรองนิติกรณ์เอกสาร?menu=5d68c88b15e39c160c008184

The financial proof is the standard 20k baht or the equivalent of it in a foreign currency that is required for all visa applications. Certified means signed and dated by your wife.

Since the border had been closed for a long time it is hard to give up to date info. In the past it was possible to go to arrival immigration at most border crossings into Laos that accept the e visa.

A visa exempt entry is 45 days by land or air. If you have a valid multiple entry non-o visa you would get a 90 day entry. If married to a Thai you can apply for a 60 day extension to visit you wife. Only one is allowed per entry with a visa or a visa exempt entry.

This works good for ants. It is like chalk. I have used a knife to scrape it off to put on ant nests.
