Change 1 Year Extension date

[Moti24]

Hi All,

 

I’m in The UK at the moment, but back in a couple of weeks.

 

I currently have a Non-O retirement extension that expires in June. I’m planning on reducing my time in Thailand and spending around 6 months in either place. So, I would be in Thailand from the beginning of October until the beginning of April every year. To do this, I need to change my extension start date to sometime around the beginning of March. So the questions are:

 

1. Can I apply for a new extension in March 2025, thereby allowing me to leave Thailand at the end of March and return at the beginning of October? (I will have the necessary funds in the bank)

 

2. If I were to spend slightly less than 6 months in Thailand each year, would that be a problem?

 

3. When I return in a couple of weeks, will I have to do a TM30, even though I’m returning to the same address I have lived at for more that 10 years?

 

Thanks in advance for any information.
