, you always can do a border hop/bounce to Cambodia, Laos or so, and come back for a exempt entry of 30 days (From 1st october probably 45 days), and extend it again with 30 days. You can do this only 2 times by land border. Or go for a visa run, which is buy a visa again in a Thai Embassy or consulate in the mentioned countries. But a bit more stress these border hops/bounces/runs. Also depends how far you are from a border. Otherwise you have to fly in 🤷‍♂️

Good luck !!

When you come with a 'visa for 90 days' (e.g. Non imm. O based on retirement or marriage), you don't need an onward ticket so one way is okay. It's many time a problem with the airliner as

@Stu***

says, when you have no visa (visa exempt 30 days) or a Tourist visa (60 days).

Yep

@John *********

. The Netherlands still have an affidavit at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok. In Dutch it's called: 'Visumondersteuningsbrief'. They give it in Euro (month amount) and with us in Korat it is valid for 6 months

@Stuart ********

. What I remember there are only 4 countries that stopped giving them due to some privacy rules. Australia, UK, US and Denmark.

Think depature place of ticket will be a problem

if he only 'say' he is in the UK.

Oops, I think it's wise to go to the police first ? And maybe go to your Embassy for some kind of emergency passport/paper. I hope you made some copies of your passport/visa/ extension. Always good to have some "talking papers" I guess Or do you have a new passport already ? Good luck !

Okay

@Kr**

, but COULD you get a affidavit with amount of Euro's which after exchange is over 65,000฿ minimum income, the 800k is not locked, which can be safe should 'sht happen'. In my Dutch Embassy, I just have to send 2 months copy of my income (for me, it's pension) and 2 months copy of my Dutch bank account where that amount is shown as a deposit, to get that. But, since you are (only 😉) 50 soon, guess that it's more difficult to prove that >65k฿ comes in on a regular basis. Then ofcourse the 800k฿, although a little bit more paperwork than the affidavit, it's the way to do it. And no, the 800k฿ does not have to come from abroad. This is only needed when you want a non imm. O VISA (no extension) in Thailand.. Good luck !

@Kool ******

, When having double amount (800k฿) in a joint bank account when married, thought that was also okay ? (pity to lock the money ofcourse, but thought it was possible to meet the conditions ?)

@Michael *****

, strange indeed. A different something by the imm. office indeed I guess. I always use my affidavit (visumondersteuningsbrief it's called 🙄) from the Dutch Embassy. It is even valid for 6 months at Nakhon Ratchasima imm. Never had this problem with my year extension.

NO God Dieux,

@Steve ******

is not abusive, creepy nor kicking. He is just the perfect man who never makes mistakes, please understand !🤪

I think, when you come in on e.g. a non imm o visa (based on retirement)

@Paul *********

. After 2 months you make the 1 year extension with re-entry permit. Then after 4 months (so about 6 months in Thailand already) you leave. After 6 months you come back with the re-entry permit , wait 1 month and apply for the year extension again with re-entry permit. After 5 months (again 6 months in Thailand) leave. After 6 months come back and apply again for 1 year extension with re-entry permit. After that you have a timing issue, but also 2,5 years further. Just a thought ?
