yes. visa exempt are for those nationals who has bilateral agreement with Thailand. while those that doesn't fall under these agreement still can enter the country by paying the fee for visa on arrival...and also there are nationals that can't enter using both methods. they need to apply for a visa in Thai consulate/embassy outside the country before entering.

mine doesn't have vaild until date stamp when i return to Thailand. but my wife has stamped (first time she got her non o visa).. so i assume that's why hers has stamped?

I think you can check it with your TM6 arrival/departure card if it matches as well.

TM47 is for 90 day reporting, what you need is TM7, which is for yearly extension of stay... you should include all the school papers and your copies of workpermit.

if you are on a multi entry non o visa. you really need to cross the border and bounce back every 90 days.

just one form for both of you if you live on the same house/condo.

To add more, once you submitted the form, ask the officer if you need to re-submit them every time you do your 90 day report.. there are "some" immigration office that "requires" you to submit the form every time you do 90 day report or extension. and also, you need to write down all foreigners living/staying on that house/property.

agree, you just need to ask the owner to sign the form and a copy of his Thai ID & house registration.

I am thinking also that he got a wrong visa (non immigrant visa) then when he tried to extend it, the immigration told him he got the wrong type and can't extend unless he has paperworks to extend it as explained by the officer. He was given an option to do a border run (get a visa exempt by crossing the border) or just pay the 11 day overstay on the day of his departure in December.. still, a photo of the visa itself would be nice.

but it only works on Internet Explorer and from time to time it goes offline. :) and if your info is not yet on their database, you can not use the system.
