You can only apply for a METV at your registered permanent residence at date, but a METV gives you up to nine months stay anyway if you re-enter short time before the visa expires and get stamped in for additional 60 days which also can be extended with additional 30 days at the immigration.

You’ll need one residence certificate for both, so ask them to give you two copies. At least that’s what I did when I got my license and bought my motorbike.

Yes you can just change reason for extension of stay from retirement to marriage.

If you’re going by landborder, Vientiane - Nong Khai should still be possible to bounce the same day to get a visa exemption.

I guess you mean Suvarnabhumi main airport? If so you can get a re-entry permit at the second escalator and also up by the security. Single 1000 baht, multiple 3800 baht. I you pay additional 200 baht they’ll fill out the form and take a picture of you as well.

Depends which border. Nong Khai - Vientiane is ok, but several borderpoint demands one or two nights out for foreigner’s bouncing on their own now. Easier to go to your local immigration and apply for a 30 days extension. Bring passport with copy of ID-page and last stamps, a pass photo, receipt of your TM.30 if asked for, you apply on a TM.7 form at the immigration and pay 1900 baht in cash.

Ok thanks for your reply. All embassies/consulate goes online now. I don’t have a complete overview but I know HMCH Vietnam is known to be easy.

Personally I would have considered to use a land border transport company to bounce me for a 60 days visa exemption if you’re entitled and applied for a Non O through an agent because of your previous history. I mean by the rules and no bypass of formal requirements, only as a help with the process.

At least I speak one more language than you.

Your just a troll entering with a new fresh profile. Probably thrown out previously.
