Hello 🙏☺️

I hope someone have any advice on my situation as its stressing me outtttt.

In february me and my thai boyfriend and our 2 babies flew from Sweden to Thailand. The plan was to get married and then convert visa exempt to non o visa. But the marriage part took such a long time due to paperwork being wrong and stuff. We only got married a couple of days before my visa exempt extension was finished. So I had to do a boarder bounce by land to get 60 new visa exempt days. After the 60 days I got another extension and before that was finished we flew back to Sweden for one month holiday.

My plan was to get the non o visa from here and fly back with that. To apply from sweden though its more than 1 month waiting at the moment so I wont have time to get a non o visa from here 😭 (ive spoken to embassy already)

I am terrrrrified to fly back to Thailand with no visa and trying to enter on another visa exempt to convert into a non o visa. Anyone have been in similar situtation with 2 visa exempts and trying for a 3rd but having a "valid" reason for it?

Im travelling with my thai hustband and our 2 babies back to thailand. I have my marriage documents with me.

Is there any other visa I can apply for ? Or would even a tourist visa be better?

Any help is appriciated. Thank you so much 🙏☺️

Seeing conflicting information online about required docs for visa exempt extension. Some places saying everything down to exit flights + bank statements and some places saying just show up with tm30, fill out the extension form, sign some papers, and pay.

In the Chom Thong area of Bangkok if that helps.

Looks like the Immigration division 1 at Lak Si is the local office for short term extensions. Thanks in advance, don’t want to mess it up in person and have hours of delay with my toddler at immigration

Please point me to the correct post if this is just a repeat. For the IO in Bangkok for extension of visa exempt, what will need to be provided aside from the fee and passport? A lot of the google advice on this is hopelessly out of date. Thanks.

Anyone know if I can apply for a TM30 at Laksi IT Square when getting my visa exempt extension? Also what do I need to give to the official for a TM30? My landlord has given me a copy of my apartment contract. Thanks for any help.

When applying for my (1st ever) additional 30 day visa exempt extension at MTT earlier this month, the IO advised that no further extensions would be made because “there wasn’t a half page free in my passport”. I did try to explain and show that there was space but to no avail. Does anyone know of this condition and would the free space shown below be sufficient if I wanted to try to apply for a (1st) ‘unable to travel’ extension?

I also have a second working passport, which I tried to explain to the IO at the time but didn’t push it, as I assume any transfer of extensions between passports is just too complicated?

Also, not being optimistic about a further extension due the stricter mandate, I wondered if I should amend my flight BEFORE I apply or just take evidence of it as it is now (currently lines up with my current exit date).

Finally, if rejected, is it officially recorded and stamped in the passport in a “thou shall never apply again” kind of way, or is it simply a verbal rejection? Also any grace period after being rejected or obliged to leave by your current exit date?

And is the app screenshot TM30 below sufficient to print and take?

As always, TIA 🇹🇭❤️

Anyone have recent experience or knowledge about the Mae Sot/Myawaddy border visa run? I wish to extend my visa exempt for 30 days. Have done this once already within Thailand. That visa exempt expires in two days and the Mae Sot/Myawaddy border is closest to my location. Canada passport. Many thanks.

I have a new passport which I obtained in Thailand and am currently on a visa exempt extension. Do I need to go to immigration to transfer my stamp? I have a short time before I leave Thailand and would prefer to deal with this at the airport if possible. Also, is there any cost associated with the transfer of a stamp? I read other posts about similar situations but none that discuss my specific situation. Thanks for your help.
