Can I check in a day early at Bangkok Airport and wait to board my flight to China without overstaying my Thai visa?

Why would you not be able to board to go to China. Not understanding the question.

What happens if my bank balance for a Non-O visa dips below 400k for a few days?

Michael ********

@Dustyn *********

Correct. Use the 60 day extension of stay for visiting family, Keep your money at 400k+ for 2 months, get the 1 year. Good luck.

Michael ********

It would matter, as he would get the 60 day extension of stay (which does not require any money). This would give him added time to then keep his money above 400k for another 2 months, and then get his 1 year extension of stay inked in. ;)

You must be married to a Thai. As Craig said, if you haven't used a 60 day extension based on family, use that. Otherwise, if your office is not forgiving, you will have to leave Thailand and start over with a new NON O.

He said he was lining up 400k for 2 months before his extension of stay. So, he is on an extension of stay based on family. Now he won't be able to get it, unless he can do a 60 day extension.

Do I need to get an exit stamp in my passport when traveling back to Australia after receiving a retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Michael ********

Recently confirmed this. Exit stamp is not needed through the E Gate. You will receive an entry stamp when you show your multi re-entry permit, on arrival back into Thailand.

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.
