, Are you sure you are applying for Non-O, not Non-OA? Medical certificate and insurance are the requirements for Non-OA, Non-OX, and LTR-P, not for Non-O being over 50 yo.

No form to enter Thailand.

Bring both old and new passports to enter Thailand. Show a valid Non-O visa/extension with a re-entry permit on the old passport at passport control, and make sure to get the correct entry stamp matching as re-entry permit, on the same date as the valid stamp.

If he is already on a one-year extension, he needs to transfer stamps.

Once back in Thailand, go to the immigration that issued the current extension to apply for transfer stamps. Basically, he brings both old and new passports and updated TM30 to transfer stamps. There is a form, "TRANSFER STAMP TO NEW PASSPORT FORM", to transfer stamps at the local immigration office. But you need to check the detailed requirements at that immigration office.

You must enter on or before 16 February 2025 if you want to enter/stay based on that valid METV. You will be stamped on visa-exempt entry after that date, as a French passport holder.

You can apply for a 30-day tourism extension to the current stamp on or before 13 March.

, That depends on the office. Also, they do case-by-case. Some offices do home visits. Some offices do interviews on video calls. Some offices ask for witnesses on those occasions or ask you to take witnesses to the immigration office.

You need to ask your local IO and follow their direction about that.

, CW accepts a hand-drawn map from a major landmark near to your place, such as station, shopping mall, etc.

some people say they ask a hand-drawn map to see if you actually know where you live, as registered address. But this is a big guess.

Thank you for update. Yes, Krabi is known as rather easy office.

@Craig ******
, As I wrote, you need to do 90-day report at the office that serves the address on your latest TM.30. You cannot do "anywhere as you wish". If you can provide the latest TM.30 receipt with the address in Samut Sakhon, you can submit a 90-day report there.

Honestly, I'm not sure whether "7 days after" includes due date or not. Hope someone can clarify. My personal experience says 7 days including the due date. But other moderator would say different.

Personally, because of this, I wouldn't try the "7 days after" in western way.

You have to do 90-day report in person at the immigration office that serves your address on your TM30.

If you count the days correctly, it'd be okay. As long as you go to CW and get the queue, you will served within the day. Totally up to you how and when you want to go for 90-day report.
