Renewed my non-o retirement extension in January. Just now realized they never asked about re-entry and there is no re-entry stamp in my passport? Oversight??

Something that should have been so simple of turning into a nightmare, spent all afternoon at Jomtien Immigration trying to get residency certificate

Got there and paperwork wrong as I had left Thailand for a few days during Songkran so TM30 date didn't match

Contacted the managing agent of condo who did a new one and went back, they said this isn't ok as it's just an online one, condo agent says it is correct, anyone know?

Example below of what condo agent sent (just a web sample)

I have a question about the annual extension of stay for my Non-O marriage visa at Chiang Mai Immigration. For the past two years, I've submitted my application around November 11th (TM.7 form, financials, marriage docs, etc.), received the "under consideration" stamp valid for about 30 days, and then returned in January (9ish) for the final one-year approval stamp. Each time, they asked about upcoming travel plans, and I said no vacation planned.

This year, I need to travel to Canada from December 23rd to January 23rd to visit family. Is it possible to leave during the "under consideration" period if I obtain a re-entry permit beforehand? What happens when they want me to report in person if I am away on that date, do I go in as soon as I am back in Chiang Mai?

Has anyone successfully done this recently at Chiang Mai Immigration Office? Any advice or experiences appreciated—thanks so much!

Hello,

if I renew my non-immigrant O visa (marriage) in Phuket and a few weeks later we move to another province, do we only do a TM30 in that other district or do we have to redo the entire immigration process?

Thank you

Tm30 confusion. I have a new passeport and immigration told me i have to do a new Tm30. I tell my landlord, she does it through the website [members only]/ However, she entered the wrong address... Immigration said this time it's ok, but she has to do it correctly for next time. My question is, how can i know that the Tm30 is correctly done and how can i have that piece of paper that you normally have in your passeport, if it's my landlord that does it online ? Thank you

Question. Sorry if it’s overly asked.

For retirement visa extensions,

the Thai government website states three ways to show Financial Proof regarding getting an extension. I’m on year three now so want to use the 65k monthly income method.

Here’s the question; for the Bank Deposit method, it clearly states 800k baht must be verified by Thai bank book and verified bank letter

For the monthly income method, it says nothing about Thai bank. Only verified income letter from embassy, or 12 months proof of income by bank statements showing over 65k baht monthly income.

Has anyone ever used foreigner bank statements to make this monthly income verification? Again, Bank Deposit method clearly says Thai bank, where Monthly Income method does not.

Bank Deposit

Monthly Income

Combination.

Thanks.

Hey guys, anyone have experience on travelling to Thailand on tourist visa before DTV is approved, and then re-entering once approved ?

Thanks

Looking for firsthand experience only, please.

I'm on a Non OA visa with a permission to stay expiring in June 2026. I'm considering the departure and re-entry method to extend my stay, arriving back into Thailand with a renewed health insurance policy valid through June 2027.

Has anyone personally done this through Chiang Mai Airport or Suvarnabhumi and been granted a new permission to stay matching the insurance expiry date? If so, which airport and how recently?

Not looking for general opinions on whether it should work, only interested in hearing from people who have actually done it. Thanks.
