I think that big stamp is your re-entry permit and it is probably a multiple re-entry permit. If you did not have one your one year extension of stay (it is not a non-b visa) would end on the day you enter the country without it. Applying for PR does not eliminate the need for a re-entry permit.

Normal is that you can do it about 2 weeks before the 45 days end.

The rules for entry if not fully vaccinated state you must have a covid 19 test no older than 72 hour prior to departure.

You can cross the border turnaround and come right back. Or if you want to stay overnight.

The 45 day visa exempt entries start on October 1st and they can be extended for 30 days at immigration.

Unless Myanmar opens soon the nearest would be Cambodia or Malaysia (train from Hua Hin to the border).

A off topic post meant to deflect the topic has been removed.

I assume you have a extension of stay based upon working not a valid non-b visa. Are you sure you extension is still valid. As far as I know the longest period of time they are issued for is 2 years.

The rule only states entries by air.

You current extension will still be valid.

If you entered with re-entry permit a TM30 report is not required after entering the country.

You would need a re-entry permit to keep you current permit to stay valid when you enter the country.

No

2. The 400k baht only needs to be in the bank for 2 months. The 3 months before ended over a decade ago. 3. No If he got married he could apply for multiple entry non-o visa a nearby embassy or consulate that would allow unlimited 90 day entries for a year.

You could apply for a one year extension based upon being the parent of a Thai. You would need 400k baht in the bank on the day you apply (at some office it may be 2 months). You will need to legitimize your parenthood to apply it it if not married to their mother. Info for doing it is in this topic.

You can register for online TM30 reporting if you have a rental agreement and etcetera to do it.

I wrote about what he would get today not on/or after October 1st.

Normally you cannot do a border hop to change passports. Immigration on both sides of the border will want to see departure and entry stamps in the same passport. You will have to fly out and back ot do it. Borders crossings are still doing the TM6 but you will not get one when you enter by air. A immigration will not ask for one now.

No need for a re-entry permit if you have a valid multiple entry non-o visa. You can do a border hop and return to get a new 90 day entry.

Moved to the UK and Europe subforum where you will find other topics about applying for a UK passport.

Not all embassies will legitimize a document (the example of the UK embassy is wrong since they no longer do it). The Australian embassy will do it. You should check the embassy website since some are doing somethings by mail now. You would first need to have your marriage certificate translated to Thai and then certified by the Department of Consular Affairs of the MFA. Info is here on their website is here in Thai. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/page/cate-6441-รับรองนิติกรณ์เอกสาร?menu=5d68c88b15e39c160c008184 Most things done by them can also be done by mail.

No Travel within the country does not require you submit a TM30 report.

You need to have your marriage certificate legalized and translated to Thai to register your foreign marriage at a Amphoe to get a Kor Ror 22 marriage registry if you want to apply for a extension based upon marriage. Why?

The possessor of a residence can also do the the TM30 report. It is not solely the owners responsibility. A copy of the receipt for a TM30 report would be accepted for the proof it was done.

You would have to apply for a non-o visa at immigration to get a 90 day stay and then apply for the one year extension. The 400k baht only needs to be in the bank on the day you apply for the non-o visa.
