the window for filing a 90-days report on Immigration is from 15 days before and no later than 7 days after the due date. The 90-days report is free of charge. However if you visit Immigration personally, make sure you are properly TM30 registered in your accomodation. If you are not TM30 registered, Immigration can refuse to service you and can fine you with 2000 THB for a late or missing TM30

Danny Williams . . . you can find the official requirements for a "change of visa type" from a visa-exempt entry stamp to a 90-days Non-Imm-O married to a thai wife visa, under number 6 on this Immigration website. However I recommend you visit your Immigration beforehand, as they might have slightly different rules . . . . .

Last year I asked Immigration the same question, and their reply was, only one single re-entry permit at a time

It might have become invalid after 6 months, and Immigration might ask you for updated proofs. Because you theoretically could be divorced by now. Visit Immigration, show them your old proofs, and find out if they still accept it

Visit Immigration ASAP and ask for a handout list of what will be required by your wife, to continue being on an extension of stay as your trailing spouse. . . . .you might need your foreign marriage legalized by your embassy, and further by the MfA in Bangkok! Immigration needs a proof that the two of you are legally married. Immigration does not recognize foreign marriage documents unless they are co-legalized by the MfA

@Helen *******
a copy of their original marriage documents is not wnough! They need their foreign marriage legalized by their embassy, and further by the MfA in Bangkok! Immigration needs a proof that they are legally married

over 55,000 THB is the minimum wage for westerners. For Indians and Arabs, the required minimum wage is lower

I have been on a yearly stay permit extension based on retirement since I turned 50 years old, 17 years ago. The last time I had something like a Thai "visa", was 17 years ago. I am happy that the Hua Hin Immigration must have joined and read my FB visa advice group and decided to end the wrong wording 😎

@Andi **********
actually, you can live longterm only on an extension of your temporary stay permit 😃😃 Finally, an Immigration which uses the correct phrase

@Andi **********
you don't live in Thailand "longterm on a retirement visa". You will be living on yearly to be repeated extended stay permits. The visa you used will become void and invalid the very moment you get stamped into the country
