The Myanmar crossings are closed to foreigners.

There is a recent topic about going to Ban Pakard for entry to Cambodia. This company was mentioned in it from Pattaya. https://visa-run.com/en/

Moved to the Apple Forum.

Saigon is the wrong name for Ho Chi Minh City and it is the same place. It was changed decades ago. Apply morning of one day and pickup the next afternoon, You will need to make a appointment to do the application. See: https://booking.setmore.com/scheduleappointment/f8af2588-daa5-4e23-9bea-6b35c5e06758 Requirements are here: https://hochiminh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/non-immigrant-o-accompanying-thai-spouse-and-family-members?page=5d80ab3315e39c2fe800a791&menu=5d80ab3215e39c2fe800a722

You could only apply for a multiple entry non-o visa that allows unlimited 90 day entries for one year from the day it is issued. Not aware of the flights that are direct to a nearby country. You could fly to Ho Chi Minh City or possibley Penang to apply for the visa. You could also fly domestic to Nakhon Phanom or Ubon Ratchaithani and travel by land to Mukdahan to cross over to Savannakhet.

She applied for and was issued a non-o visa that allows a 90 day stay in the country when she used it to enter the country. She has been extending that 90 day stay at immigration for 90 days at a time. 1. What day did you enter the country with the non-o visa. She can get a extension that will only be valid to that day. 2. She would not be able to apply for another non-o visa at immigration. They can only be applied for if on a tourist visa or a visa exempt entry. She could apply for a non-o visa at a nearby embassy or consulate with supporting documents from the organization.

From the day the extension stamp was done.

I assume she is getting 90 day extensions based upon volunteer work. If she is only getting 90 day extensions she can only do the them for one year and then after that she would need a new non-o visa. This from the immigration order for extensions of stay. (1) Each permission shall be granted for no more than one year. (2) In the case where there is no certification made by any government agency under Criteria (3) hereof, each permission shall be granted for no more than 90 days of stay, the total period of stay shall not exceed one year from the date of entering the Kingdom.

This from the police order that issued in December of last that I posted a link to for a download of it.

Applying for the first extension of stay resets the 90 days to zero from the day the application is done.

Applying for the first extension of stay the 90 days start from the day you apply for it.

I posted a reply in another topic about a crossing. "There is this one at Wang Prachan Boundary Post in Satun. See: https://goo.gl/maps/BNuJH7V4o6Fw767V7"

The first 2 are the standard TM7 form. If already have one completed you could use it. The others are new standard forms needed for the extension application. The affidavit can be completed by your wife in Thai since both of you have to sign it. They may complete anther one and print it out after the interview by the officer.

1. A visa cannot be extended. Your entry from a OA visa can be extended of stay based upon retirement. 2. You will need insurance coverage of $100,000 or 3.5 million baht to apply for the extension. Companies offering the insurance is here. Download this file for the latest requirements for the extension RTP-Order-No.654-2564-1.pdf

There is this one Wang Prachan Boundary Post one in Satun. See: https://goo.gl/maps/BNuJH7V4o6Fw767V7

In that case he may have to bite the bullet and make a trip to pick up his passport. Or do the border hop before he applies for his new passport.

There has been no change to rules for using 40k baht transfers into a Thai bank from abroad. Did you have proof the transfers from abroad? Also they can ask for proof of the source of your income. This from the immigration that has not changed since it was issued in December of 2018. The order can be downloaded in this pinned topic. Laws, regulations, Police Orders, etc In english at number 18 and Thai at 19.

I don't think he will get that stamp until his new passport arrives. I am not aware of embassy that cancels the old passport until the new one is received due to a person would be in the country illegally with a canceled passport.

A non-o visa based upon retirement can be applied for at immigration that will allow a additional 90 day from the day the visa is applied for. See: https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/9.FOR-RETIREMENT-PURPOSES-50-YEARS-OLD-NON-O.pdf

I was just stating that for others. I think I would start the transfers in December to be sure.

I think he will have to have insurance that meets the new rules that start on October 1st when entering the country.

Yes if you have 12 months of transfers into a Thai bank from abroad.

You would need to prove the 800k baht was in the bank for 3 months after you applied for your previous extension by showing 800k baht in the bank for 2 months and then at least 400k baht in the bank until you apply for the extension using the 65 baht income option.

It must be in the bank for 2 months on the day you apply for the extension of stay. You must have at least 12 months of transfers to do the application.

You could apply for a single entry non-o visa based upon marriage to a Thai that will allow a 90 day entry that can be extended for 60 day to visit your wife. You will apply for it online and get a e visa sent to you by email. Requirements are here: https://thaiembdc.org/2020/07/11/foreigners_family/
