You can submit the report up to one week after the due date. This is usually not a major issue until the next time you deal with immigration. I believe the standard fee for a missed 90 day report is 2,000 baht.

This isn't the right visa for you. It's for work outside Thailand. You'll need to apply for the soft power option and register at an approved institution instead.

SilverPenguin2463 Ok, as you understand, the first one-year extension after your initial 90-day visa must be based on the same grounds as the visa itself. After that, you can switch your annual extension from marriage to retirement.

Agreed, but since he is asking whether he has to start over with the visa process itself, I assumed that he is already on an extension, even though he also refers to it as a visa, as many people do.

Yes, you can apply for your next extension based on retirement provided you meet the requirements. This means being over 50 years old and either documenting twelve consecutive months with a minimum income of 65K baht per month from abroad, or having 800K baht in a Thai bank account at least two months prior to submitting your application.

Applying for a Non-O visa based on marriage is straightforward. You can apply electronically for a 90-day stay. After arrival, visit your local immigration office for the requirements. If your embassy doesn't provide an affidavit letter for income, you'll need to deposit 400K baht in a bank account 2 months prior. Don't forget to register your marriage in Thailand. Contact the Thai consulate for guidance on document preparation before you leave.

No, you’ll need to leave and and re-enter on a visa exemption first if you’re entitled or just apply in a nearby country.

An METV is something you would have had to apply for from your home country anyway, so it is not really relevant at this stage. Based on what you describe, three prior entries and a total stay of only around 45–50 days over 12 months is well within what is normally regarded as ordinary tourism under the Visa exemption system itself. That kind of travel pattern is not what the new formalised guidelines are aimed at either. As always, the final decision rests with the immigration officer you meet, and you should be prepared to show an onward ticket and accommodation details if asked. With such short stays on each visit, entering again by air from Phnom Penh would normally not be an issue.

Safe entry service, or so-called pre-scan, is a service offered by certain agents. Your entry history is reviewed in advance, and a guarantee of entry is provided. You will be met at a designated meeting point and escorted through immigration. It’s offered at both Bangkok airports.

No, Hong Kong only accepts applications from individuals who hold permanent residence.
