@Patrick *******
way back in the yonder years (2016) there used to be a difference. Now there isn’t.

You don’t. You present both passports for the next 5 years.

Agents “grease the wheels that need to be greased” whether or not the time saving or ease of use is worth it to you is a personal preference.

Yeah Pattaya immigration is busy all the time. Best to get there before 8:30 to get a queue number. No idea when people actually start queuing there but a guess would be 7:30 or so.

@Sara ******
Possibly it may have something to do with the fact that you can only get a Non OA from your home country or country of legal residence, but in theory you can get a Non O from any embassy/consulate. Why that may be a factor is not know to me just a suspicion.

@Derek *******
Why do they require a TM30 or a TM47 or photos and copies of passports and entry stamps/extensions/visas when that information is already on their computer systems?

I believe that the online extension only works for Bangkok - although I’m not 100% sure.

For me I see little point in doing it as you have to go to immigration anyway and you need to pay 500-5000 baht extra to do so.

Yes but there are no official details on how to apply as yet. Going on past history with official announcements we will probably hear on the 30th April how to do it. Perhaps a bit before but I won’t hold my breath on that.

You would get 60 days entering visa exempt whether by air, land or sea.
