very well said

I know, just thought a multi entry non-O would mean I could avoid the RE permit.

Ok I understand, cant do it incountry, thanks.

so, there is no such thing as a multiple entry non-O visa/extension then?

ok as he is in the UK I thought I'd just point him in the right direction re; police.

Think you also may need a police clearance certificate from the Metropolitan Police as well. This may take 6 weeks. Can be from anywhere in the greater London area. I used Feltham as it is on the outskirts and not busy. Personally I'd go for the non-O as future extensions don't require health insurance.

cheers

are house visits and under consideration time applicable to non-o marriage extensions, year after year?

what does the 'after permission' bit mean?

If you have a certified certificate you need to get this translated to Thai, take it to the local MFA office for an approval stamp, then off to your local Amphur who will issue you with the Korror22 as mentioned above, then off to immigration with all the other stuff, photos, map etc to get the First 30 day stamp as above. Just did it recently.
