yes my wife and I live in the province Phichit so all we had to do was show the house blue book. If you are renting or living with a partner, you have to prove some way where you’re living.

Just an FYI at the immigration office that I go to in Phichit, where my Thai wife and I live, I asked the immigration officer if we go on holiday do I have to fill out a new TM 30? He told me no you only have to fill out a new TM 30 if you leave the country even if you return to the same house. So every October when my wife and I come back our first stop is the next day after our return is go to Immigration to fill out a TM 30. just thought I would mention that since you had mentioned it in your post.

@Adam *****

he is in Phichit. There is almost never more than one or two people in the Immigration office there you walk in present the documents and they issue the resident certificate right then. It takes about 30 minutes.

you’re correct there are no new rules, but there are new guidelines which are creating all the clamor

@Nicolas **********

don’t toot your horn so loud the next time you leave the country you will not be re-entering anytime soon

@Brandon ***********

correct me if I’m wrong Brandon but unless it’s changed isn’t the exemption protocol allowance two exemptions, one 30 day extension and a second only seven day extension.

@Bob *******

he has an appropriate visa. He has a non-O visa. All he has to do is get a re-entry permit and re-enter the country before the visa expires.

@Sam ****

just an FYI, not sure but I believe if you enter Thailand non O Visa based on marriage I believe you can get that for 90 days and then I think you can extend it for another 60. Just something to keep in the back of your mind unless that also has changed.

Just to be safe why don’t you get a tourist visa multiple entry?

@Phil *******

can you read English? If not, you’re excused.
