What are the challenges of entering Thailand on a second METV within the same year?
Ron *******
@Bert ******
 how are you going to ask for a start date for the visa? That's not how it works. The visa start date is from the day it's entered in your passport.

Is completing TM28 form still necessary when traveling between provinces in Thailand?

Now the outcry is over about TM30 reporting, immigration offices are back to doing their own thing 😂

A friend was recently told by Jomtien Immigration, it now only needs doing once a year.

Work that out!

What are the new health insurance requirements for O-A visas in Thailand?

I perhaps see this being a problem when entering Thailand at some stage after the 31st October when they see the notation of the original O-A visa.

Yes i see what he's saying but I think he's confused on what he actually entered the country with and then did the extension to one of marriage. I think he had an 'O' and not an O-A. Maybe at one time it was possible. We need
@T**
 to confirm exactly what is or isn't possible.

I think this is why this makes no reference to marriage extensions as it isn't possible.

Basically, the way I understood his reply was if the extension was originally from an O-A, you would have to leave and obtain an 'O' in order to get a marriage extension. You couldn't go from O-A to retirement to marriage. Or go from O-A to marriage.

Somebody was asking earlier if the insurance would effect them. They then said they was married and
@T**
 replied that if they was married they couldn't of got the extension from an original O-A entry as you can only get an extension from an O-A for retirement.
