I kindly asked you yesterday that you should please discontinue handing out advice, because most of your info is wrong. . . . .here we are again: A blue housbook is no proof of ownership. Only a Chanote or Nor Kor title deed is proof of ownership of the land the house is sitting on

@Ralph ******

so your wife still has a blue housebook. She can use this to register the house in the online TM30 system. Once registered, she will receive a Login-ID and a password. With these, you can always register yourself in the TM30 system when you enter Thailand coming from abroad. Mot Immigrations will onlyservice you if you are properly TM30 registered. . . . Your wife owning or not owning property, bears absolutely no weight for your application to a 90-days Non-Imm-O Family Visa, and the subsequent application to the 12-months Extension of the Stay Permit. Immigration will however want to see pictures showing you in front of your house and they will come for a visit to ask your neighbours if your marriage is for real. The Chanote title document that shows the ownership of the property the house is sitting on, will not be asked for by Immigration. Only the blue housebook of your wife is relevant.

@Joseph ***

it doesn't matter where he was staying if he was only staying for 45 days he had no business on Immigration so he practically was able to ignore the TM30 registration

@Andrew *******

a blue housebook is no proof of ownership, it just states that a person is living in this house.

@Andrew *******

You have been advised properly by the Embassy!

For your plans, the 6-months multi entry Tourist Visa is the best choice. The visa is valid for unlimited entries within a period of six months after the date of issue.

Before you take the risk that a second visa-exempt entry might be refused because it will happen too closely dated after your first stay, it is always advised to secure a guarantee by using the METV. On a real visa, your entries will be accepted without any worries and without any Immigration official questioning your repeated stays.

Apply for the METV 3 weeks before your planned departure. The processing embassy or consulate will take care to issue the visa as close as possible to your departure, so you don’t lose too many days of the visa validity.

The METV fits in perfectly for an entry, let’s assume your first entry is on the 15th of November. Upon re-entering in early January, let’s say you enter January 10th. You will get stamped in for 60 days until March 9th. You visit Immigration and buy a 30-days extension, taking you to April 8th.

In case your planned return is by the last week of April, then you better do a border run before March 9th - and avoid the 30-days extension.

Upon re-entering let’s say you re-enter on March 10th, you will get stamped in for another 60 days, carrying you until June 9th. And BINGO - everything went smoothly

@Yafit *******

the only authority that can give you a 100% correct reply, is the Immigration which serves the area where your current accomodation is

@Yafit *******

the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa (I am not sure if you mean the visa or if you are already on the 1-year extended stay permit) got issued nationality specific. I would say it is impossible to get it transferred to another passport with a different nationality. . . . . . . . And as a rule, Immigration cannot transfer any visa, because visas are issued by embassies, and embassies are regulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Immigration is under the Ministry of Interior. Immigration can only transfer their own stamps

@Dany *******

itis more about the 6-months tourist visa

@Benjamin ********

having founded an own company within five minutes, proved on a paper everyone can dig up on a computer, does not make you a digital nomad. I at least expect that you are able to use your brain

it usually takes 4 weeks, because each 1-year extension will be issued for 4 weeks "under consideration". Within this period Immigration will do a home visit and ask your neighbours if your marriage is true
