I have been in Ho Chi Minh. I got a one year Non-O multiple entry visa based on marriage. Cost $200. Didn’t have to show any financials, no questions about insurance, only one form to fill out, marriage certificate, proof of residence (Tabien baan) and wife’s ID, with letter from her requesting a visa for me. It took about 1 1/2 hours at the consulate, a 1 day wait and the folks there were very helpful and friendly. So, I am good for another year and only need to do 90 day reports.

Thanks to all on Thai Visa (especially Todd) who advised me on changing from Non O-A to Non O.

One question: Do I have to file a T28 at Hua Hin Imm. now that I am back?

You were totally given the wrong information when you bought the visa. The visa you hold is valid for a year from the date it was issued, it is good for entries of 90 days ONLY. When that 90 days runs out you go to the border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country then stamp back in to thailand to get a new 90 day stamp. You do that the for the whole year the visa is valid for every 90 days and you can get 15 months of stay out of it.

You NEVER do a 90 day report at the immigration office because you can't be IN the country more than 90 days on that visa.

NOW if you don't want to do what I just outlined you do every 90 days (exit/re-enter) you CAN go to the immigration office when you ahve 30 days or less left on any of the 90 day entry stamps from this visa and apply for a yearly extension by meeting the proof of funds requirements and turning in the correct documentation.

IF you are wanting to get a yearly extension go to your immigration office and get the hand out that lists the requirements for either the married to a thai or the over 50 retirement extension. Once you get the yearly extension then you will start doing 90 day reporting

Look at your entry stamp. You. Should be able to stay here for 90 days. You only file a 90 day report if you stay here longer than 90 days.

If you have the right documents, you can apply for a one year extension of stay. But you need the income or proof of savings though

if you mean you report yourself every 90 day at a border, stamp out Thailand, stamp in/out neighbor country and stamp back in Thailand you are okay, for the TM28 or TM30 you can visit Blueport and they will update. Or ask your landlord to report that you're back into the country
Robert *******
visit the immigration office and apply for a 1 year Extension of Stay if you can meet all the requirements.
Robert *******
visit the immigration office and apply for a 60 day Extension of Stay and make the border run after these 60 days OR

i tell you that you have to leave Thailand and come back into Thailand to activate a new 90 day periode on this multiple entry non immigrant o visa. OR

They told me at HCMC, when I asked, to just do my 90 report!
Robert *******
you can not, you are only allowed to be 90 days inside the country with this visa.

File TM30 as you have returned from travel outside of Thailand.

good luck when you need a service from Thai Immigration and a TM 30 is not on record as being filed.
