What is the seasoning period for a 400,000 baht deposit when renewing a Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national?

@Jan *****************

the confusion comes with renewal ....it's 2 months before the application date .... but you can apply 1 month before expiration date ...hence 3 months if you apply early

What are the implications of renewing a retirement visa on multi-entry stamps in Thailand?

Martin *********

Interesting. So multi re-entry is extension specific rather than date specific.

Do I need a permanent address or can I use my hotel as my residence for a retirement visa in Thailand?

@Tod ********

It's unclear whether the OP is doing a renewal of extension of stay. What i can tell you is that Jomtien immigration have been instructed to implement more thorough demands in regard to your residence. They are demanding house books from landlords. i can only assume its to chase up landlords for tax purposes.

Do I need to update my TM30 after leaving and returning to Thailand on a tourist visa?

Martin *********

There is no consistent answer. I'd say that if you are due to renew your visa etc then make the tm30 from the last trip near your renew date. Otherwise don't bother

I've seen gate 2 closed and you have to go thru gate 1 ...walk airside, then re-enter gate 2 to get to the small cupboard the 2 reentry officers sit

Should I renew my passport before renewing my visa if my passport expires in March 2025 and my visa needs renewal in June?

Martin *********

Your passport is useless after September as you need 6 month remaining to travel anywhere

Where can I apply for an exit/re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi Airport before my flight out?

Martin *********

@Tod ********

worth stressing the "2" as going through "1" means you need to enter the departure area and walk back in ( and spot the wee cupboard the pleasant 2 officers sit)

Can a renter file a TM30 registration in person at Jomtien Immigration, and is a proxy needed?

Martin *********

@Peter ********

. In jomtien office they accept the tm30 WITHOUT any house/condo papers but you do need the i.d of who you pay the rent to. (I assume this is a big tax chase lol). You also need the renters contract.
