I think you read that post wrong 😮

First when you went to the border exited/re-entered you did NOT get a visa on arrival stamp 🙁 You got a free entry stamp (visa exempt) for 60 days 🙂

Now as to your question;

If you (or anyone) was on the original 90 day entry of a Non-B visa and you exited the country that "cancels" it.

The only time people are fined is for not cancelling an 'extension of stay' <- which you get after the 90 day Non-B runs down

You're okay there is no fine involved in your scenario.

I think you're not understanding, and to be honest it doesn't matter in the least, look at your current stamp and you'll see the wording I mentioned on it (extension of stay permitted until) that is NOT a visa, it's exactly what it says, an extension, and you have it for a year.

You also have a valid re-entry permit (also good for as long as the extension was granted) so you can exit/re-enter the country with out losing the current extension you're on.

You STILL file a TDAC when you come into the country just like I said

I messaged you about this post, and had also messaged you several years ago and you never read those messages either 🙁

Best of luck with it,

FILE a TDAC before you come back

your 90 day report will be due 89 days from the date you stamp back into the country

Sorry people, I deleted some of the off topic comments.

This post is about getting the initial 90 day non-o Visa based on being over 50 (retirement) inside the country at the immigration office where they live.

While it is true, not every office does issue in country non-immigrant visas, most do.

You need to have the minimum required days that your application goes under review at that specific office left on your current stamp either a free entry stamp or a tourist visa entry stamp to apply for this Visa.

Most offices require 15 days or more left on the stamp some offices Chiang Mai require 15 business days or more which equals out to about 21 calendar days give or take.

You need those days on your current stamp because while your application is under review you are still here on your existing stamp.

There is no ETA, that was never implemented by the Thai government. What they did instead was implement something called the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card)

I would wager you're not on any Visa at all :O , and instead if you look at your stamp it would probably say "extension of stay permitted until" and have a date. That's not a Visa that's exactly what it says it's an extension, and you have a valid reentry permit.

Be that as it may, you are indeed required to file a TDAC before you come into the country.

You can do it from 3 days before you travel right down until you're standing in the arrival hall (they have kiosks there).

This is the website:

While I am loathe to believe AI when it comes to almost anything to do with entry/visa/extension information to thailand (because of the plethora of bad info out there that's been repeated so many time AI thinks it actually true 😮 )

This does appear to be the changes they implemented

Once you move, you will go file a new TM30 (notification of foreigner in residence) form showing you moved to a new address

You will then do 90 day reporting at that new address until your extension too

Then when you go to get the next extension you will show the chanote (title deed) of the place you're buying showing you live there.

That should do it

You have a valid one year, multi-entry Non-OA visa (that you got from the thai consulate in your country before you came here) and that visa is still valid 🙂

AND

You want to bounce out/back before the Non-OA visa itself expires and get a new entry stamp for a year <- is that correct?

Remember you also need a new year of the mandatory 100K USD health insurance too (they will want to see it at the border when you stamp back in)

You're not talking about Immigrations either, you're talking about the border crossing people at passport control and those don't close for weekends or holidays, they're open every day of the year at the Nong Khai border .

Stamp you're currently on and the previous extensions that are in that passport and if you got a new passport it will already have the transferred stamps in it

thanx for that update,

it seems that KL has their processing time back down to just a few working days (but it might just be because you're a Malay they have faster processing because usually that is a SLOW consulate)

Remember to print your PDF eVisa because that is your actual visa

Safe travels, congrats on the visa

With over 80 offices in the country, your best bet is to head on over to the Saraburi Immigration office well before you're going to apply for the year extension and ask them what they want for proof of address.

Usually it's more than just the TM30 (notification of foreigner in residence)

If I was to guess, I'd say you're most likely going to need your g/f's lease, thai i/d, probably the landlord i/d, maybe the house book of that property in addition to the TM30 receipt you have showing you're registered as staying there
