They will look at the stamp that shows your arrival date. You report 90 days after that.

I filed my 90-day at CW a couple of weeks ago. No TM30 required if I remain at the same address. You will need a TM30 to get a 1 year extension. I am doing something similar this month. I will go and return from the US and get a new TM30 upon my return. I have one unreported trip to Pattaya so I expect I may be fined for that when I go for my 1 year extension in October.

Tod Daniels stumped? 😳

I would think, as a practical matter, only the person whose passport was reported would file a TM30 on return.

Rodd Miller The O-A Visa is a long stay multiple entry visa. Nothing has changed about this visa. Earlier in the year there’re was much discussion about a health insurance requirement but it has never come to pass. There are a bunch of requirements to get it but it is what you want to get if you are over 50 years old.

Search this site for info about an O-A visa. If you use it right you can get up to two years of entry on this visa.

You could try to get an O-A visa from the US. However you cannot work inside Thailand for the one year term of the visa. Look at the requirements on the Los Angeles Thai Consulate website.

Wow. That makes things easier for people going back to the US from Thailand to get an O-A

@Anthony ******
Is it O or O-A? If it is O-A then you will be stamped in for a full year as long as you arrive before it expires.

The other important thing to know is that you need to show cash and there are no ATM machines available before the Immigration desks.

And . . . Tod Daniels is a great guy providing great visa advice.

An O-A visa is a multiple entry visa. You will get stamped in for a full year each time you enter Thailand during that first year.
