you need to get the re-entry after the 1 month under consideration is over

I always do the TM30 each time I come in, in case I fall foul of someones interpretation of the rules.

exactly 90 days after your arrival date

its easy enough to get your queue ticket and then ask the shop to do the right copies

thanks for that

that's it, exactly what we did recently. you then go to

the US consulate and write an affidavit, 50 bucks,

the get the affidavit and original marriage certificate translated to thai.

then of to the MFA office to get approval.

then off to your Amphur with 2 thai witneses to get your thai certificate, called Kor Ror 22

then follow the immigration requirements, photos, map bank letters etc

they give you 30 days under consideration period where immigration may visit you

then after the 30 days you go to receive your full one year visa on the date they give you.

thats it. Not much hassle to do it just before you leave, just to be sure. The date given for the next report, no need to do as you'll be due 90 days after your return.

ok

What confuses me is that on various sites some say you can get a non-O multi extension some say you cant. I'll find out for sure when I go to CM immigration this week.

so, if you have a multi extension, no need to then buy re-entry permits?
