I had the same issue 2 extensions back ( 2+ years ago ) .. he said you have yesterday’s date ? .. I said oh , I never knew , but my certificate I just got this morning , I dunno why the date says yesterday? .. it’s ok he said , go to the bank now and come back , no need to get another queue ticket .. which I did , so took about 3 hours but no point in moaning ..😏.

Watching .

Consulate.. I think you mean ?

And if your referring to ‘extending’, a retirement IO non imm , I think you can only do that in Thailand . You only get one visa , after that you apply for extensions .. and if your applying for your first visa , you don’t need 800k in a THAI bank , that’s only when you extend it . And that’s 2 months prior .

I got my yearly extension last week , and am leaving thailand for 2 weeks on 10th Nov ... because I obtained extension prior to the 31st , can I assume when I return on the 22nd , I won’t be challenged or refused entry for not having health insurance.. as it only applies for those applying from the 31st ? .. ( effectively I have just under a year to sort it ? )

@Michael *******

you do as of October 31st

@Robert ******

thanks Robert I’m going down there tomorrow morning , but what I never mentioned was I had a neighbor who did he’s 90 day report on Monday , and all the officer said to him was , you can do your extension a month early you know , no mention of a TM30 . 🙄

@Henry **********

Completely baffled , ok , so I can do that tomorrow? .. and I guess it’s just to say , this is where I am . And I get a receipt which I will need when I go to get my extension or I won’t get that extension even though I have the 800k etc ( 4th year ) ..?

Thanks for reply Marty , still a bit confused.. so I need to complete a TM30 .. BEFORE .. I apply for my yearly extension even though I haven’t been anywhere ?

when I applied for mine .. all the embassy are saying , when you apply and submit your criminal record check make sure it’s not dated longer than 3 months ago if you were applying today for example .

Based on being over 50 .. Correct .. just still must do your 90 day reporting
