, No, as financial proof for an extension based on marriage to a Thai is not tricky like one based on retirement.

The basic concept is roughly the same as retirement. Anyway, not many immigration offices accept the monthly transfer method for a 1-year extension based on marriage to a Thai.

First of all, you have to check with your local immigration office whether they accept 65K monthly deposit method for an extension based on retirement.

If the embassy of your passport nation in Thailand issues an affidavit, you need only that for financial proof.

In case your embassy doesn't issue affidavits (US, UK, and AU are among them)

1. A 65K monthly international transfer method can be used only for a 1-year extension for the second year or later. You cannot use the monthly deposit method for the initial in-country Non-O visa based on retirement or the first yearly extension for retirement.

2. You need more than 12 months of international transfer, at least 65K per month, as of application day for a one-year extension based on retirement.

3. If you applied for a yearly extension using banked money of 800K baht, you have to keep 800K for three months after an extension is approved and no less than 400K baht for the rest of the year until you get approved for next year extension regardless you do monthly transfers of 65K.

If you mean switching 2 to 3, you must keep BOTH for a year when transitioning.

Attached is a rough image of how to switch the financial proof methods. It may or may not help..

It would affect when you apply for an extension next time if you don't officially cancel the current extension. The uncancelled extension will be an "open extension record" and you cannot apply for an extension, especially for a Non-Imm-based extension, if your history has an open one.

In other words, if you are no longer coming back to Thailand for good, or not more than the minimum stay as a tourist, you can just let it expire and leave. and you wouldn't have an issue with just a short holiday trip to Thailand in your future.

, for that, you have to submit an extension application which is to be rejected with the 1900 baht usual extension fee so that they can give you (up to) 7-days-to-leave-kingdom stamp. No extra days stamp for free.

Not perfectly correct.

You have until 23:59 on the last day to leave Thailand without overstaying, not 24 hours. Actually, it's your responsibility to cancel your extension based on teaching. If you are still on the first 90 days from non-B, you cannot cancel that stamp and you can stay until that stamp's up.

IF your passport country is eligible for visa-exempt entry, you can enter again for 60 days on visa-exempt even on the day you leave Thailand.

IF your passport country is not eligible for visa-exempt entry, you have to apply for a tourist visa in another country (which takes 5 days to a few weeks) before entering Thailand again.

@Lauren *****

, check their websites. They state processing time clearly.

[edited] That is totally made-up story. As long as you have a TM30 receipt your extension will be 30 days for tourism purposes, regardless of the length of stay at that address. Just make sure "checkout date" field is not past date or it's open.

Or just submit now with the address where you currently are staying. There is no rule like that you can submit TM30 only once with the same address.

@Lynn *********

, no rule changes. DTV holders are obligated to do 90-day reports when they stay in Thailand longer than that, from the first.

Currently, there are no written rules on the maximum number of entries on the visa-exempt scheme, regardless of whether entering by land, sea, or air.

But it's possible only until the officer at passport control gets doubts about you being a genuine tourist. If you keep doing border-bounce, eventually you will be pulled aside at the entry point and asked about what and how you are doing in Thailand.

, yes application for any type of visas
