Is it normal to receive only a 7-day extension after an initial 30-day extension in Thailand?

Paul *********

Yes - normal, the second extension - 7 day is actually an "extension denied" and you have to leave Thailand by the date stamped.

What are the costs and requirements for a reentry permit after applying for a spouse visa in Thailand?

Paul *********

A reentry permit will keep your "admitted to stay" alive if you take an overseas trip on a single entry visa (or extension of stay)

Single - 1000 baht

Multiple - 3800 baht.

There is also a 'service' fee at suvarnabhumi airport of 200 baht.

Is it easier to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand after arriving on a tourist visa?

Paul *********

To do it incountry (assuming you're an american) you'll arrive either on a tourist visa or a visa exempt entry, then go to a 90day non-0 (>50) then a yearly extension of stay (>50) - believe me if you can get a non-0A before you arrive in Thailand.

Is it easier to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand after arriving on a tourist visa?

Paul *********

Time is running short but if you can I would advise getting an non-0A from a consulate in america before you come. You'll get up to 2 years in Thailand without going thru all the hoops of getting a "non-0" and then an "extension of stay" inside Thailand.

How long can I stay in Thailand after returning with a single re-entry permit on a Non-O visa?

Paul *********

So you arrived in Thailand on the 20th march, in your passport there will be an "admitted until" stamp 89 days after that. (17th June)

If you leave and return to Thailand in this period and want to keep your current your admitted until date valid you'll need to have obtained a reentry permit before leaving.

Can I change my retirement visa to a marriage visa in Thailand after marrying my Thai partner?

Paul *********

Here's a post from Jan on extension of stay - marriage. Probably best to go to your local immigration office and get their checklist as it will / may vary around the country.

Paul *********

@Cr***

- you're not / won't be applying for a visa - you're on an extension of stay - all you'd be doing is changing the reason of the extension from >50 (retirement) to marriage to a Thai.
