closed on saturdays and sundays, and closed on December 5th (Bhumipol's B-day, and on December 10. If you really want the 7 days on top, then you need to go on the very last day of your existing stay permit. Can't apply one or more days earlier

@Jade ***********

the problem is, the 7-days grace period starts on the day your application gets denied . . you gotta figure out how that plays with your timeline. It means that if you visit Immigration on the last day of your EOS, the 7 days start the next day

compared to these prices for DTV-elegible courses, I dont find 65.000 -THB to expensive . . . . .

„and for some reason the IO gave me a visa expiration date of 29 November 2025”

No. He didn’t give you a “new visa expiration date”

He gave you a STAY PERMIT which is valid until November 29, 2025

Your “visa expiration date” is still December this year.

After the expiry of your visa validity, you have no re-entry permit any more.

So if you were to exit Thailand in February for a few weeks, you would need to buy a single re-entry permit in order to keep your stay permit until 29 November 2025 alive.

You do not have to do the “1-year extension of stay permit” by next week, yet.

You can wait until 29 October 2025, before you apply for the “1-Year Extended Stay Permit”

@James *******

actually, your passport number can be seen on your Thai drivers license. They don't necessarily need your nationality ti file a TM30

my guess, you weren't just warned, you also got "flagged" in the Immigrations central computer. So any Immigration official would be able to see that you have been warned previously. I would heed James Miller's advice

@М. ***

you can only register online by yourself, if your landlord gives you the login-ID and the password. By this you wouldn't waste his time. Maybe he will agree

@Brad *******

yes, "per entry", like

@James *******

pointed out. And seeing that you haven't gotten a 60-days family visit extension, yet, on top of your last entry, and you are aiming at the 12-months Extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai wife, yes, it should be accepted

@Brad *******

well. X-mas is not a Thai holiday, the borders and Immigration offices are open, as long as it doesn't fall onto a saturday, sunday or a Thai holiday

@Brad *******

yes, you are right, you can only use the 60-days family visit once per entry. So maybe you will be allowed to get another one on Immigration if it is really "per entry" and not per "calendar year". As it would be the only one upon your current 60-days stay permit out of a visa-exempt entry. Visit Immigration and ask. You would not need to exit, and meet the deposit seasoning requirement during these extra 60 days
