   That's just to get you through immigration and into the Country without any questions being asked

Check out thread I linked above.

Some folk just want to avoid long queues as in meet and greet is fast track line.

 

Some folk looking for "safe entry" due to eg many visa exempt entries

[Lolothai]

They failed to move my stamp in Pattaya immigration. Maybe I have to do it myself at Rayong where I live?

They told me to use a flight but it would be the same problem no?

You can exit Thailand with both passports.

You have run out of time as permission of stay end tomorrow.

 

There are flights tomorrow to Vientiane. 

You could fly there and return via land border friendship bridge.

Vans run from Nong Khai to Udon Thani Central Plaza or airport.

Thread started last Wednesday and your still here

If you leave from an airport with both passports, they will stamp you out in your new passport. There won't be any problem as long as you take both passports along.

 

Not having transferred your stamps before flying out does NOT prevent you from leaving, unless you fail to produce both passports.

My stamp is moved, I can cross by land tomorrow

But by land it would have been a problem right?

Which immigration office.

[Lolothai]

Rayong immigration office

[Lolothai]

They want 6,500 bahts. 2,500 more because my Visa is non O and not tourist

Yes, at a land border, they might very well not have an officer there who is both willing and able to transfer your stamps. Which is why border run services make "arrangements" for this.

 

So it's risky to just show up on your own with both passports at a land border. If they tell you that they won't let you leave and that you have to go back to your local immigration office to transfer your stamps first, there is nothing you can do.

[Lolothai]

So what about the 2500 for being on Non O? Anyone knows about this?

After this I can still do 60 days to visit my wife?

I will try to get 400 000 but I need 2 months, maybe extension 1 month, then get out of Thailand, like Savannakhet to make a new Non O.

If you do border bounce you will obtain 60 day stamp.

That can be extended by 30 days.

You can obtain a further 60 day extension to visit wife.

With 15 days + remaining on permission of stay you can apply for non O based on marriage with 400k in bank on day of application.

That will give a 90 day stamp. 

In the last 30 days with the 400k having been in bank for 2 months you can obtain 12 month extension.

Wife needs to attend for 60 day extension and application for non O and for 12 months extension and be available for home visit if required.

Note: in person application for non O Savannakhet not available. As from start of 2025 they change to eVisa and appears not convenient.

 

I have typed this information a few times now.

[Lolothai]

Just passed the border, went smoothly, got 60 days.

All these extensions are done at my local immigration?

Thanks, I will follow the steps from your last answer.

Congrats on the successful bounce. Did you use agent minivan. Cost ? Which border

 

The extensions are done at immigration office where you have your address (TM30) 

Keep in mind you at some point need to obtain a Non O marriage.

 

Also be aware that the office where you obtain the non O is same office that you obtain the 12 month extension.

 

If you plan to obtain 30 day extension to the 60 day stamp you just obtained in ADDITION to the 60 day extension "to visit wife" you do the 30 extension first.

 

Also run your plan past immigration office to obtain that office attitude to that.

 

To obtain the non O in addition to the required docs you will use a TM87 form. 

The non O is 2000b and 12 month extension is 1900b 

 

For ongoing extensions you are not required to obtain another Non O

 

This thread explains the process

[Lolothai]

Thank you very much. I will do the visa exempt extension in Rayong then I will move (TM30) to Ratchaburi where my wife and my kids are living now. It will be easier to make my non O there. For the visit I will explain that I work and come back the week end.

Sounds good.

You will also be doing the 12 month extension at Ratchaburi since you are obtaining the Non O there.

Agency: Thai visa service (TVS) in Pattaya

Price: 4000 + 2500 (because I'm on Non O)

Border: Ban Pakkad

[Lolothai]

now that I'm on visa exemption, does it mean that I have to return my work permit and stop to work until I get my Non O?

[DrJack54]

You need to have non immigrant visa to work in Thailand. 

[Lolothai]

so do I have to return my work permit?
