Is it normal for Thai immigration to ask for extension application upon visa expiration rather than the typical 30-day period?

Michael ********

@Danny *********

No probs, I have had less than, 30 days and more than. But it is usually 30 days. That is the norm. :) They are a law unto themselves....555. I did the same as you; got a Single re-entry, returned before the consideration date and used it. Got the rest of the time stamped in, and got a multi re-entry.

@Danny *********

That's seems exactly what you asked. As Graham said. 1000 baht. Re-entry. Get extension. Another re-entry. Immigration can put whatever date they like for the under consideration period. Sometimes less then 30, sometimes more.

What should I do if my landlord is delayed in submitting my TM30 but I need to file my 90-day report soon?

Michael ********

Just get her to send all her docs to you and lodge it yourself. Plenty of tech savy places she can go to, in any province. ;)

Do the 400,000 baht for a Non-O immigrant visa need to come from overseas for the marriage extension?

Michael ********

I can confirm the money does not need to come from overseas. Just did it. Ask the office you will use, not what someone thinks or 'you heard'.

What should I do if I forgot to get my re-entry permit while on a trailing spouse extension in Thailand?

Michael ********

I would recommend to you, in future, that whenever you get an extension of stay, get a multi-re-entry on that same day. This is what I do, so I never forget.

Is there a limit to how many times a year I can enter Thailand with a German passport?

@Bonnie ********

I have heard many say the same about female IOs. I now avoid them every time. Never had a further issue.

No limit, but someone having a bad day will apply one. Avoid female Immigration Officers. In my experience, they are most likely to give you problems. Not being sexist, just factual, and based on experience. If you plan to stay longer term, with more visits, get a DTV or similar.

Will leaving Thailand with a pending visa application affect my status?

Michael ********

Ah right. Under considerstion for extensions are definitely fine to leave on and return. I did this last month, with a re-entry, with no issues. In Pattaya, a home visit is required. Not sure on other offices.
