... I'll try and dig out the details but it's an online service and it was really easy.

... the ME only gives you 90 days in country per visit. I used them for years as it suited my work rotation but now I'm on 2nd year extension of stay from a 90 day SE non O. The RE permit is easy, much easier than ME visa unless you know you will be FIFO on a regular basis.

I'm guessing he has a 12 month extension of stay based on having a Thai spouse in which case he needs to get a re-entry permit and follow the guidelines as per Ellie's post. If he does actually have a 12 month "marriage" visa, it will already be a multi entry allowing 90 days per entry and he can come and go as he pleases, respecting the 90 day max stay, without the re-entry permit but still needs to fullfil the covid entry reqirements.

... I've had one for years but my wife is still the house owner and although it helps as my registered address, buying cars, motorbikes etc, it makes no difference for submitting a TM30.

Yes it's easy as I file my own TM30 with the login details of our home which is owned and registered on Section38 under my wife's name.

It's hillarious when you catch folk out with their previous posts where they have totally ignored the advice being offered and ask the same question again ... definitely a bit of a Sherlock Holmes in you Tod!. 🧐 😉😁😂

... you don't need a certified translator. My wife does any translating we need and simply goes with the document to the MoFA for checking and stamping.

Even for my first ever extension back in April, these was no home visit by Chiang Mai immigration but we went to their office with a neighbour for what really was a very informal chat. That said, I had previously been on non O ME visa for years so I had lots of history.

@Lance ********

... but you either have the 40k/month or the 400k banked and which ever way, yes you need to show statements but the OP doesn't want 400k tied up all the time and is looking for any other options to meet the required funding.

@Max *******

... I'm pretty sure no one wants to pray for covid extensions cuz that means only one thing! Better to pray for open borders to allow border bounces.
