Hello, I have a question regarding applying for a visa to another country while holding a Thai ED Visa.
I will have been in Thailand for 6 months on my ED Visa, and I have all my documents ready. Can I apply for a Japan visa from Thailand under these circumstances?
We arrive Monday so I assume I cannot complete until 72 hours before hence Friday afternoon..... The arrival data I guess is 'greyed out' until within this period?

I now understand that the re-entry permit fee is only paid when applying for it, usually after the annual visa is stamped.
So my choice of single- or multiple-entry before was just a preference—I can decide later.
When my 90 days expire, I will go back and tell them that I’ve changed my mind and want a multiple-entry permit.
I have another question: how many days before the 90-day temporary visa expires should I go back to immigration to get my annual marriage visa and decide on the re-entry permit?
Anyone have any information about overstaying (missing the 90 day report date) and having to extend? Got my dates mixed up and can’t do my 90 day extension. The immigration officer at the information desk recommended flying out and back in, but I’m on an emergency passport and would rather not risk it.
SO, anyone else miss their 90 day and have to extend manually?
My 60-day visa exemption period will soon expire and I want to go to the Immigration Office for a 30-day extension. I have a question about the TM30 document that need to submit for the extension application. I signed a 6-month condo contract (because I planned to do one visa-run) and haven't actually lived in others places in Thailand for those 60 days than my condo. Now I'm wondering if the immigration officer will be suspicious if I give them a TM30 with a "from-to" date and he sees 6 months (I don't know if a landlord can just give me a document where he put only one month, maybe its an option) and they won't grant me an extension due to the recently tightened rules. I'm wondering if a safer solution would be to book a hotel for a few days and request a TM30 from that hotel. But then I'm wondering if the immigration officer has access to my residence registration history in the system and can see that I have no history for those 60 days except for this one hotel. Does anyone know how this registration system works in practice?
I am getting conflicting information on the internet so I would like to hear from those who know. I will be entering Thailand on Saturday with an OA visa and will not be able to reach the island where I will be living until Tuesday. I understand that within 24 hours I must report to the immigration office in the area where I live to file the TM 30 form. Other information specifies that I must file the TM 47 form up to 7 days before the 90 days expire. How exactly should I proceed? Thanks!
Sorry, if this has been asked 100 times, I even tried the embassy, but I get an error message. With 60 day visa exempt, can I go and come back once within the 60 days? This would NOT be a 'visa run', obvioudly, but just a flight to Vietnam for 2 days, in order not to lose my 'Flying Blue' frequent flyer miles by taking a short flight on a partner airline, and crediting the miles to 'Flying Blue'. Just one clear answer is all I need, thanks in advance.
Could someone send me a blank copy of the residency certificate form for Phuket or direct me to where I can download 🙂. For driving licence application
