Natalie Milne from my understanding, Admin and maybe Moderators too, can see the real name of anyone that posts or comments on posts. I noticed that in one of the groups that I'm in, or when I joined a group.

Tim Hubble they're talking about the possibility of returning, so they're not in Thailand currently, to be able to hand themselves in. If they try to go back, they'll have to complete a TDAC. I don't know, but I think that there is a possibility that that might get rejected. If it's not, then if they try to enter again, Immigration might detain them and insist on the 20k Baht fine being paid before being released, then put on a return flight & banned (I don't know what the procedures are, because I would never put myself in a situation like that to research it).

Lynn Nah maybe had a "very bad life situation", but what situations would prevent a person (or someone that could represent them if they were incapacitated) from applying for a suitable extension of stay? In the case of a serious medical situation, someone would assist in some way 🤔 maybe they got lost in the jungle 🤔

The OP is talking about returning to Thailand, so they obviously found their way out of Thailand without being detected by Immigration, so it does sound very suspicious regarding their last stay.

Doug Powell the policy on extensions did change last November. 30 days on first visit and 7 days on second visit within a rolling one year period

Shane Kinneally No, a Non-O based on Marriage doesn't have any age restrictions, other than both parties being legally old enough to be married of course.

Same question asked two weeks after the first time 🙄 what a waste of time... while it's known what the Thailand Election outcome is, as far as who will be Prime Minister and the fact that it will again be a coalition, nothing else is official and unless there are legal challenges, it will be April before the new Government becomes official. Until then at least, nothing will change❗

Ralph Tyson I did look them up, so that's why I suggested you do so, so that you might learn something

Eric Alan do you know the OP's entry history prior to the two entries mentioned in the post? I haven't seen any mention of it & the mentioned reaction from the Immigration Officer, more often than not, would be because of a 'past history'.

Max Murray a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa is an option. It's valid for six months, but does require leaving and re-entering Thailand at least a couple of times. 60 days maximum in country is what the Visa says, but one can maybe get extensions (currently limited to one 30 day and one 7 day). If an extension is granted, near it's end, an exit and re-entry is necessary. Some people also use a 90 Non-O Visa as a tourist Visa depending on either their age (over 50 years old), or marital status (married to a Thai), but extensions the same length as Tourist Visas are not availaible.

Bob Fawcett when was the last time you entered Thailand prior to entering on the METV?
