only on the Jomtien, Khon Kaen and Samui Immigration! On most other Immigrations, the 800,000 THB just need to sit in the account, no seasoning needed for the application to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-O visa. A 2 months seasoninh is then needed for the application to the 1-year extension of stay

Is it okay to leave Thailand for Malaysia and return for another 60 days on a visa exemption?

@Michael ********

look, man. If you were married outside of Thailand, you need to get the marriage acknowledged in Thailand before you can use it the the 60-days family extension, or for an application to the "1-year extension of stay permit based on being married to a Thai wife"

@Michael ********

well but you need a freshly printed by the Amphur "Kor Ror 22" marriage registry certificate, your marriage must be registered in Thailand. Or you cannot apply for the "60-days family visit extension"

@Carlos ********

yes you can, you are right . . . but not worth the effort since you can rent a Honda 125 Click in Pattaya for 2400 THB a month

Do I need to report anything when entering Thailand again on a Non-O visa, and how does the 90-day reporting work after leaving?

@Sue ******

there is a difference between a visa and a stay permit. The visa lets you ENTER the country, the stay permit lets you STAY in the country . . . .actually TWO ROSES, not one. The visa you entered with, expired the very moment when you entered

Is a 'trailing spouse' visa available for same-sex couples in Thailand following the legalization of same-sex marriage?

Gregor **********

I was asked in my visa advice group by a German/Thai gay couple who are married legally in Germany, if they can get the dependent spouse visa for Thailand. They had visited Immigration, but it seems there haven't been set any rules regarding same sex marriages, yet

@Sue ******

you didn't "renew your retirement visa". You only applied for the next "1-year extended stay permit based on retirement". You do not have a "visa" any more

@Ray ********

a re-entry only keeps the stay permit it was bought and issued for, alive until its expiry date. There is no rule for how long you can stay abroad - when you re-enter, you will only be stamped in until the original stay permit expiry
