I am only doing it legitamitly, Thai imo make the rules and I am playing by them, I don’t know if age is a factor in the way they think, but I suppose the look at an older person as more likely to want to stay longer, especially if retired,which I am, but haven’t drawn any pensions yet and only finished work on /22,so I just state my old job title on TM6 form,.next time I return to thailand I will get a AO visa and be done with it,.

@Dave *****

I originally entered on a 60 day TR visa and used the 30 day extension option on it,.

Yes,by land borders,.

I have a Tm30 address,. and use of a car to travel about,. Hopefully my /23 return flight tkt to uk will pacify them ! I’ve moved around thailand extensively during my stay, but I have tapered it down allot over the last few months with just day trips,.

I plan on going to Mae sot border again, problem is if the Thai imo stamp me out and I get stamped in and out of mayanmar go back to Thai imo and if they refused entry where do you go ? You can’t actually enter mayanmar so basicly you/I could be stuck in no mans land,. My only get out of jail plan is that I have a flight booked to uk on /23, so hopefully worse case scenario I could use that as a lever,.

I am only a few days behind you, I arrived 25th nov 22,.came in on a 60TR visa,. and have done 2 x30 day extensions, 1 x border bounce @45 day,. I’m ok now untill 6th may 23,. I need 1 more border bounce to get me to my may 12th (can be changed) homeward flight (uk), I’m thinking of a another 30 day extension on my final b/ounce, that will take me up to/over the 180 days max tourist stay, July 6th would be my last day before all my options are maxed out,.is this doable,.?

I wonder how many got to the imo and were rejected for something or other ?

Uk driving license renewals etc have been a shambles for a year or two, long waiting times for your license to be returned was the norm,.

I haven’t been able to visit thailand since December 2019 due to C19 and all the BS that brought with it, so I continued to work in uk 3 years over/into my retirement age 66.5 y/o,. I only officially retired from work on November 18th 2022,.originally planned to come back to thailand for 3 months from nov 25/23, untill feb 22/23 but as I’ve not got work to get back to in uk I decided to hang it out in thailand as long as possible (legally/authorised). Ariving in BKK thinking 90 days will be plenty, but the longer you are here I thought I will tough it out,. I’ve done the 2 weeks/1 month trips since 2009, 90 days seemed like plenty at the time,. Look on this amount of time I am spending here as a trial run I suppose,. I intend to get an O or OA visa next time I’m back, as I agree, visiting immigration offices at borders or at your local town is a bit of a pain,. But that’s what I have to do this trip, it’s been an expierience anyways,.rightly or wrongly I’ve not drawn a penny from any of my 3 pensions in uk (government/workplace/persona) so meeting the , untill feb but as I’ve not got work to get back to in uk I decided to hang it out in thailand as long as possible (legally/authorised).

Just got to get my ducks in line and we will see how we go,.
