regarding your question if there will be problems with leaving the country on an extension of stay, the answer is no, if you have a re-entry stamp. You can get a single re-entry for 1000 baht or a multiple for 3800 baht. They let your extension stay alive when come back. Regarding 90 days visits to immigration, you only have to do those if you are actually in the country for 90 days or more. If your travels brings you in and out of the country in less than 90 days at a time, you will never do a 90 day report.

there is still the option of visiting savannakhet or HCMC while here and get the 1 year multi entry visa without proof of funds. Or get an extension of stay while here and a multi reentry stamp if you can meet the financial requirements. There is also a few other thai embassies nearby that will give you the multi entry non-o based on marriage, but do require proof of funds. You don't necessarily have to buy a single entry in your home country each time.

James Staub I have fluctuations as well. It takes two bank days for my transfer from DK to be available in my Kasikorn account. Because of weekends and/or holidays it can be anywhere from 2nd-7th day in a given month. I always transfer on the last banking day in the month from DK. That's normal. Even if you transfer some times to the beginning of a month and sometimes to the end of a month, it doesn't matter, as long as each and every month has a deposit that lives up to requirements.

@James ******

just because you mention partial month. It shouldn't matter when in a month the money comes in. It doesn't have to be on the same date each time. As long as the money is in the account before the month ends it should be fine.

Write their address on the arrival card and are most likely fine.

90 day reports can be done (when in person) from 15 days before to 7 days after. It does not matter what kind of extension or visa you have (if the visa allows to stay longer than 90 days), its about staying longer than 90 days in the country.

right! They should not care about that.. Not their job..

@Ton *****

your driver's license (if it's a thai license) still have your passport number on it though ;)

I used a hotel in Buengkan last summer (home provinse) using my drivers license at check-in.. Immigration gave grief about it when I reported back after a trip to krabi after new year. The IO looked very serious about me not reporting back after that hotel stay last summer, even though its same provinse. I did not get fined though as his superior told him to overlook it.

But morale is that even just using the DL they will know. And that in Buengkan even a registered stay in same provinse has to be reported on when back home. I will ask the missus to do the booking/check-in next time, and see if I can get away with not showing anything.

@Tod ********

thats what i said? Just with other words

As far as I know the extension/visa based on marriage is only if you are married to a Thai national. You should in stead apply for an extension based on dependant on a person who has a non-o B
