, what i'd like to know is how the landlord/property owner (could be a foreigner, but in most cases Thai) can fill TM47 form. I don't mean I doubt you did.

@James *******

, don't you mix TM47 with TM30 or other form, such as TM28 or any? TM47 is 90 days report, and it's supposed to be submitted every 90 days, "years ago" doesn't work for TM47.

@James *******

, Why is TM47 from the owner of the property? TM47 is a form for a 90-day report, it's supposed to be prepared by a foreign applicant. Never heard that a 90-day report requires anything from the property owner other than a TM30 receipt.

@Todd *******

, Brandon corrected, because extension and visa are different. Extension should be transferred when you get a new passport while visa itself cannot be transferred to a new passport. That’s why different measures are applied when you get a new passport.

@Todd *******

, you cannot transfer visa itself to a new passport.

@Brad *******

, if you mean you are applying for an initial Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai at the local immigration office, as a rule, most offices don't require you to have funds seasoned for 2 months. That is the requirements for following 1-year extension, not for initial visa. But of course you need to check with the local office.

Land borders don't have holidays. They are open as usual even on New Year's Day. More importantly, Christmas is not a Thai holiday anyway.

You will be stamped in as regulations say at the borders.

The second visa-exempt entry wouldn't be a problem at the land borders. Currently, the "two entry through land borders" limit has been lifted.

In usual cases such as applying for a Non-O dependent visa inside Thailand from a tourism entry stamp, the main foreigner needs to be on a 1-year extension already. This results in family members having to go to the Thai consulate around to apply for an initial visa there, or wait until the first 90 days pass with border-bounce or tourist visa.

As Non-ED-PLUS is quite a new one, no report of converting to Non-B so far. No one knows yet how the immigration offices handle the procedure like this.

A visa/extension based on dependent on another foreigner is no longer valid as soon as the main foreigner's visa/extension is cancelled or expired. In that case, her dependent extension must be cancelled with yours.

Now it depends on the employer and immigration office whether she can apply for her Non-O dependent to a foreigner with a visa or extension based on employment at the local immigration office or has to leave once.

Your new employer has to agree to support your wife's Non-O as well, as she needs paperwork from the company to apply for it inside or outside Thailand, anyway.

@Rosie ****

, as a rule, an extension can be cancelled only by the immigration office that issued it. No downside try another office at your convenience first. In the worst case, you may be just turned away if you go to a different office, saying "we can't". Or if you are lucky enough to have reasons for a special case, they would handle your cancellation.

You will have no issue with travelling and entering Thailand again on a Tourist Visa or visa-exempt entry regarding a pre-existing, expired extension.
