that will work fine or if you're going to lease there another year or what ever you can make the check out when ever that is (check out date isn't mandatory)

There are re-entry permit desks at Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi. They are open .

You can have all the copies, photo, form and pay "face value" (1000 baht single, 3800 baht multiple)

or

you can just show up with only your passport and pay the 200 baht service charge (along with the reg price) and they'll sell you one too 😛 (1200 baht single, 4000 baht multiple)

There's no real need to wait until the last day and there's no need to make an appt if you don't want to

You can apply for a new extension at most all offices when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp. You don't lose any time applying early the new extension is added to your current expiration date

Most people don't wait until the last day because when you apply if you're missing a document, or something you don't have any time left on your current stamp and will run on overstay if you can't get it sorted out that day..

Still as long as you have your ducks in a row document wise, you should be fine, you're just cutting it really REALLY close 😮 Best of luck with it (y)

Okay if you're applying for 90 day Non-O visa from the Thai Embassy in London, you can show proof of funds in another country bank account (if that's where it is) you just have to show the equivalent of the required funds

You're not switching to any "one year visa based on retirement", when you got the Non-O visa from the London consulate you HAVE the visa, you'll be applying for a yearly "extension of stay" at the immigration office where you live/stay.

Now once you get the initial 90 day Non-O visas, when you come in you'll get stamped in for 90 days, THEN you need to bank 800K baht (each) in a thai bank account in your name only AND it has to stay in the account for 2 months before you can apply for the year extension

You will come in on the 90 day Non-O visa, get a 90 day entry stamp, IF you need to leave during that 90 days you would need to buy a re-entry permit (at the immigration office or the airport before you fly out) and that will keep that 90 day stamp 'alive', so when you return you can get stamped in until it's expiration.

You cannot stamp back in on a 60 day free stamp as that means you voided the Non-O visa entry stamp and will have to get a new Non-O visa

The steps are like this

**apply for the Non-O visa at the thai consulate in your country

**come to thailand get stamped in for 90 days

**bank the required funds in a thai bank account

**get a re-entry permit,

**go to Japan for a week,

**come back get stamped in for the rest of the 90 day stamp

**once the funds are in the account for 2 months go apply for the yearly extension

That's how it works

At most offices you can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp

But some offices, Jomtien and Samui only let you do it when you have a week or less left

I think you got more than a few of your wires crossed..

Now while this isn't actually a visa question it's a how do I certify my marriage to a thai abroad one. Let's address it if we can

You're not going to get an in country Non-O visa issued based on marriage OR a yearly extension based on marriage if you married a thai abroad without getting the marriage certificate certified (in your case by the people in Milton Keynes) and then at the thai embassy (again in your case in London) <- You HAVE to have done that before you can even begin to get the marriage "registered" here thru the local Amphur (city hall) and get the Kor Ror 22 <- thai married abroad certificate because that's what you need to get both the Non-O visa in country and the year extension after that

The brit embassy here stopped certifying marriage from abroad a good while ago, so your only choice is to send the certificate back to Milton Keynes, get them to certify it then to the Thai Embassy in London, get them to stamp it, THEN send it back to you here so you can get it translated to thai, get it certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then go to an Amphur with your thai wife and register that you two were married abroad. Again the Kor Ror 22 is what you're after, but it's certainly a process to get.

If you wanna get a 90 day Non-O visa and year extension based on marriage to a thai and you were married abroad that's what you have to do so you can get the marriage registered here in the country and begin the process.

As I said, you're not asking a visa question, you're asking a 'how do I get xx document' to get a visa one and that's beyond the scope of the group. Post on a Brits in thailand group and ask, believe me you're far from the first foreigner who married their thai significant other back in Blighty who now needs to get that marriage registered in thailand so they can get a marriage visa/extension.

Unfortunately as it's beyond the scope of the group I'm not going to even let the thread open for commenting, but I at least wanted to get you pointed in the right direction. I also messaged you about

Best of luck with it

as people stated, it is doubtful you will have much issue with that planned travel because you're not taking the full 60 days you're stamped in for, and you always have proof of onward travel (that you're leaving)

Your travel plans are not out of the ordinary, and I'd say it will work until it doesn't 😮 which no one can predict,

BUT in your favor, you are not milking 60 days plus taking a 30 day extension then bouncing out/back to do it again. you have time out of the country between your trips and they are shorter than you get stamped in for, you should be okay

You go to the main immigration website, you click on the 90 day report icon and it takes you to the website where you can make a profile then file a 90 day report online

remember you have to have filed at least one report in person to get into the 90 day database, you have to file the first 90 day report when you return from abroad in person and you can only use the online system from 2 weeks before your 90 day due date until 1 week before the due date <- meaning you have a one week window to apply online.

Here's the main immigration website



you want this icon

It does indeed, because if you don't you will only get an extension valid until the expiration date of your current passport

Renew the passport before you apply for the year extension (y)

nope, nothing you can really do, just wait it out. It's still going thru the process. They'll either approve or reject it and email you

just keep looking for the email or checking the status in the system

You might try messaging them on their official F/B page via messenger sometimes they answer faster that way
