You’ll need to do the first report in person again as the 90 days clock resets when you re-enter Thailand.

Reglene er en utreise billett innen 60 dager. Sjekkes sjelden ved immigrasjonen, men du risikerer å bli nektet ved innsjekk i Sverige om flyselskapet ditt ber om det. Anbefaler deg å kjøpe en rimelig billett ut innen 60 dager eller gjøre som Graham foreslår.

The only extension available is the one year extension of stay, unless you’re married to a Thai or have a Thai child and can apply for the 60 days extension visiting Thai family.

You’ll need to leave and re-enter on a new 60 days visa exemption if you don’t want to apply for an extension.

Sorry I can’t tell for sure, but if they charge fees for tourist bouncing on visa exemption as
@Marta ****
tells, I’m afraid the same could be the case for bouncing on a METV.

But we anyway know that some border points demands one or two night out of Thailand before you can re-enter on a new visa exemption. We also know people are offered to bounce instantly by paying a fee. (Up to 10K baht).

There’s no official regulation regarding this and it’s obvious that they just make up their own rules.

Specifically regarding Satun I don’t know.

Do you have a work permit in Thailand? If so they will approve your income.

It’s known that at some immigrations it can be difficult to be allowed to prove income pension/income from abroad unless your embassy in Bangkok also provides you a affidavit letter. So you either need to prove income earned in Thailand or provide a affidavit letter to avoid banking the 400K baht.

Just give a flight number for a flight you might use if you don’t have purchased any tickets yet. You don’t have to upload any tickets anyway.

I understand it can be a bit difficult to connect the Non O with your first year. You can enter on a visa extension and apply for a Non O inside Thailand, get a re-entry permit and apply for the extension of stay on your next rotation if it’s possible to link it within the timeframe you have available.
Jan ******************
No particular procedure as long as you already have your re-entry permits. You check out electronically or manually trough the immigration and get stamped back in on your Extension of Stay (As several calls “retirement visa”).

You might need to update your TM.30 at your immigration, but several immigration don’t require an update as long as you re-enter to the same address. You’ll need to do your first new 90 days report manually as the clock resets each time you reenter the country.

Requirements varies between embassies/consulates. This is as an example requirement for a 90 days Non O based on marriage at the embassy in Washington DC. Income min 1500 usd a monthly or funds

usd. For the first year extension of stay in Thailand you’ll need to prove 400K baht in your Thai bank two months prior to the application.
