Does my September 90-day report count as my first or second notification after a retirement extension in Thailand?

Chris *******

@Tom ***********

it's just a 90 day report, nothing to do with your visa.

It resets every time you reenter.

Do the first one in person, then register and do it online from then on if you want.

Can I apply for the DTV visa through the Hanoi consulate after attending a cooking class in Thailand?

Chris *******

@Stephan **********

no, once you are issued the visa you are entitled to multientry.

No proofs needed.

IF you apply for an in country extension there may be requirements as to purpose and Financials.

It is not completely known yet but the answers to that are imminent.

Do you need to be married to a Thai citizen before applying for a Non-O Visa based on marriage?

Chris *******

@Edward ********

no you cannot.

You must have a reason for the non-o visa (retirement, Thailand family etc.) and the 1st extension has to be for that reason only.

On a subsequent extension you can "change" the reason for extension.

Chris *******

@Nongnuch *******

you are reading the stamp wrong.

It was a re entry on July 16th.

The original visa was activated May 20th( its a little unclear)it looks like on the reentry permit.

They have not shown the original entry stamp.

What should I do about my Non-O visa extension application that is still under consideration before my visa expires?

Chris *******

the decision is basically already made, you are just waiting for "head office" to finish the process.

This happens all the time and usually within a day or two it's sorted.

You are technically in "limbo" on your extension.

It's no concern.
