actually, you can enter any valid hotel adress in Thailand into the TDAC form. It does not get cross-checked. . . . . Just make sure your girlfriend registers you in the TM30 system under her home adress, within 24 hours of you arriving at her accomodation. Putting her adress into the TDAC form does NOT remove the duty to fill out a TM30

well, you should be fine if after 4 days abroad, you re-enter Thailand for a second time on a visa-exempt entry. If you have not maxxed out the first 60 days admitted stay with a 30 days extension, but exited Thailand before the first 60 days expired, you can expect to be regarded as being a "real" tourist at the border checkpoint. You could however be asked on your intentions, in which case you should make sure you have the "3 famous proofs", which are an onward travel proof out of Thailand within 60 days, 20,000 THB in cash or equivalent in another major currency, and proof of a booked accomodation for the first few nights

The intention for allowing a „dependent visa” was and still is, mainly based on the “dependent partner” not having to show his/her own financial proof.

However, many embassies have discontinued to issue “trailing spouse” or “dependent” Non-Imm-O visa to partner married to someone who holds a Non-Imm-O retirement visa or an Extension of Stay based on it.

You need to ask the Thai Embassy where you are applying, on how they do deal with it. And keep in mind – even if the Embassy issues the dependent visa. It is not guaranteed that Immigration accepts it for an application to a 12-months Extension of Stay. Immigration could still ask you to have two separate bank account with 800K Thai Baht on it from each of you

@Nav *******

and you still have not understood how to word things correctly. . . you still write nonsense like this: "said can apply one year visa after 2 month extension" . . . there is nothing such as a "one year visa". You still confuse a stay permit with a visa. After all the explaing I offered. Shame on you

@Nav *******

I said that depends on the Immigration officer. You will either be lucky or not. It is up to the individual discretion of the officer

@Ly *****

you got TWO months on top of the 90 days of a Non-Imm-O family visa? Well, maybe it got lost in translation that they actually stamped you a 60 days extension based on the family visit, and didn't allow you an extension of the Non-Imm-O Visa. Because it is not possible as the visa itself becomes invalid when you enter Thailand. So you technically cannot receive an "extension of my Non-O visa" 😂😂 How do you extend a visa that doesn't exist any more? By a Shaman or hypnotism service? Or do they hold a rain dance?

@Jan *****************

I guess they just say they don't issue the family visit extensions any more, to press applicants into paying tea money. If there really was a discontinuation, it would have been officially reported

@Nav *******

no, I don't think so. You cannot apply for the 1-year extension any more if you already are outisde of the initial 90 days. Maybe Immigration allows you to do it for a certain amount of tea money, that's between an offcial and you. Why not pay the 25,000 THB and receive the 1-year extension of stay ?

@Nav *******

there was no rule change. Never was. It's a lie. They try to make you pay the bribe and allow to to apply for the 1-year Extension. It's all about tea money. Pay up the 25,000 THB and get that extension, and it's a happy end after all, no more hassles to follow

@Nav *******

Did they really said that they have stopped to issue a "60-days family visit extension" ? What are they, a rogue office full of corrupted people? There is a "Royal Police Order" for this extension, and the 60-days family visit extension HAS NEVER BEEN STOPPED. This is a lie. An apparent lie! I think they want to press you into paying them the 25,000 THB grease money for allowing you to do the 1-year extension, despite not meeting the 2-months seasoning of your 400,000 THB. Typical for a CORRUPT office. Well you can save yourself a lot of hassles if you pay the the demanded tea money. But remember next time get that seasoning in order and only pay 1900.- THB
