What? You’re thinking of a 90 day report. A TM30 can be filed online anytime.

You will be issued an extension until the validity of your passport. If you happen to be short of the full year then that’s on you for not getting a new passport prior to applying.

Some people choose to do this to “change the date” of their new yearly extension time, because it suits their needs better.

For Ireland it’s handled via the evisa system through the London embassy. Typical turnaround times from there are 3-5 days if you have the right documents.

On issue the visa would be valid for 90 days - meaning you have 90 days to enter Thailand.

On arrival you’d be given a stamp for 90 days.

I’d say apply about 1 month before and that should be alright for you.

Yes it’s true. You apply from the country you’re in (apart from Thailand) and wait until approval.

Sorry but that’s just not the case. There has never been a limit on how many visa exempt entries you could have.

There used to be a limit on the number of visa exempt entries you could do via a land border but that changed ages ago when the exempt entry was changed to 60 days rather than 30.

It’s up to the individual immigration officer you hand your passport to as to whether you can enter. If you’ve had 3 this year they may question you or deny you, but that’s the same if you’ve had 10 or 12.

Some people come for a week and leave, and repeat that each month or so. There’s not an issue doing that until the officer says there is.

Its about $80. The Non O gets you 90 days on arrival, but allows you to extend yearly from there if you meet the financial requirements.

This is something you’ll have to ask your local immigration office. Some allow transfers. Many won’t

It all done online these days. You can’t go to the embassy anymore.

All extensions are done using form TM7, regardless of length.

TM86 & TM87 are for transferring to an in country Non O visa from a tourist visa or visa exempt entry respectively.

Nothing to do with employment. Just show funds transferred from abroad for 12 months. 65k or above. Not a single baht less, so beware of exchange rate fluctuations.

Once the funds hit your account you can spend at will. There is no minimum amount required.
