Just to let you know for 90 day reporting in Jomtien you do not physically have to go into the immigration building. You just go to the desk outside on your right as you enter through the gate. Drop your passport and forms etc off and go back an hour or 2 later. No waiting around.

Jomtien is very easy to do the 90 day in person.

You do not need to even go into the immigration building.

They have a table on the right hand side through the main entrance outside.

You just drop your passport off, do any paperwork, go have something to eat and go back an hour later and it will be done.

Hope you got a re-entry permit before you left.

If you leave before your first 90 day report then you count days from when you return.

However You do either need a re-entry permit (which I think you have for the 1000baht) or multi entry re-entry permit for your 1 year extension still to be valid when you return to Thailand

If you do apply for the 60 day visa make sure you show it to immigration on arrival or you will just get stamped in for 30 days.

Definitely not.

Is way more easy in Thailand.

I asked this same question last week but it was not posted by admin.

I was however given the reply by them that 1 year is only the maximum so it might be possible to ask for less.

I have since found out it is possible to request the IO to stamp you less than 12 months and that they will do it.

As with many things when it comes to IO offices though it might be different at other offices , this was at Jomtien.

Don’t need to get multi entry on OP plans.

Tourist visa covers until leave after 55 days then just get stamped in for 30 days when come back from Malaysia

Far better to get tourist visa as creates less problems if onward flight is 89 days later.

Also tourist Visa is cheaper and wouldn’t have to visit immigration on the plans OP has stated

How can get a family extension based on being married if he hasn’t got the marriage certificate in Thai or registered in Thailand.

Unless I am reading it wrong
