whilst I would be confident that you will receive a second 60 days visa-exempt stay permit after you have stayed outside of Thailand for 4 weeks, I would . . we still NOT say that anyone is allowed to do back-to-back visa-exempt entries. Most of all, we still have to see if you can get in for a second consecutive or not, 60-days visa exempt entry, after having exhausted a 60 days stay plus a 30 days extension . . . . we still cannot tell

if you apply for the change from the visa-exempt to the 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa in Jomtien, you don't need to prove the money came from abroad on the Jomtien Immigration office. However they will need a bank statement that the money has been seasoned for a minimum of two months (get a 3-months statement for your safety)

well, ok, this is a government site. So this is widespread confusion, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. And we all know, what they published did not happen, yet. And will most probably never happen 😎

@Stephan **********
this is a mass media claim. There never was any date published officially

I meant it to be a suggestion to what might have actually happened. The threadstarter miscalculated his own entry stamp by one day. I am just proposing that something similar could have happened to you as well. You would not be the first person who is misinterpreting the entry stamp. The duration of a visa validity never is the same as the duration of the stay permit granted.

There can only be ONE explanation: I guess you had miscalculated your stay by one day (like the threadstarter!) and you were already in overstay, since they pulled you aside after you already stamped out, which is the usual routine on overstayers. And for overstays less than 24 hours the 500.- THB fine normally gets waived
