Got my 1 year extension from agent. now what?

[phungo]

I was rejected for 1 year extension -marriage at Chaeng Watthana because 40k baht for 2 months was not accepted, imm officer wanted the impossible 12 months.

 

PeterDennis helped and referred me to an agent. Agent was great and now I have the extension stamp in my passport.

 

This is my first extension so I don't know what other things I need to do. I heard that I need to do some 90 days report. 90 days from what date?

Is there anything else I need to do?

 

Say in January 2021, Covid clears up and there are flights, can I leave the country amd re-enter under this 1 year extension? What paperwork do I need to do for this?

Does this extension require a re-entry permit? IF so you have to get it and then you're good to go.

You first 90 day report will be due 90 days from the day the extension was applied for and then ever 90 days after that unless you leave and re-enter the country and it would be due 90 days from the day you enter.

You will need to apply for a re-entry permit before leaving the country. The fee is 1000 baht for a single and 3800 baht for a multiple.

You will complete a TM8 form with copies of your passport photo page, visa, entry stamp, extension stamp and TM6 departure card attached.

OP, given that no one knows when travel will be possible be aware that reentry permit can be obtained at airport prior to departure.

So relax and obtain one if travel becomes possible.

OP, given that the agent almost certainly processed your extension outside Bangkok, you would probably be advised to file a tm30 to update your address to your current address.  Otherwise, for the 90-day report you would need to have the agent file for you, but personally I would prefer to have my correct address on file. 

 

Some agents will also do the tm30 for you, so I would check with the agent first.  In Bangkok, after the first 90-day report you can do future reports online, but not sure about the process outside Bangkok (maybe the same, someone else can advise).

In some locations you cannot do online.

However sounds OP is located bkk.

Your advice is spot on re fixing up address.

He could talk to agent about ongoing service for 90 report if he wants. Won't be expensive.

Glad for him got it sorted.

This is correct ....  OP ... call your agent and tell him he needs to submit a 90 day report for you in approximately 3 months as well as a TM30 to register your address.  Arrange with him that this can be done at the same time as he will have an IO ( Immigration officer ) who will handle this for you. 

A re-entry permit is required if you leave and want to come back so to keep your 1 yr visa valid.  If you plan on an exit and return next year then you'll need a re-entry permit.
