Will a late TM30 report affect my Non O Marriage visa extension application?

Pete *******

If returning to new address you need new TM30. If returning to same address at which you previously filed a TM30 no need. During your extension of stay process a new TM30 will be filed anyway.

What does the validity date of my O visa mean for my trip to Thailand?

Pete *******

@Steve *********

your visa validity date starts counting down the day it is issued. You have until Nov 13th 2026 to enter Thailand. Every entry will give you a 1 year permitted to stay stamp or until the date your health insurance expires. With planning you can get almost two years out of this visa.
