Also any attempt to come now, in this age of stricter enforcement of Immigration laws, is going to depend on your previous travel history to Thailand. You will have to tells us more about your history to get useful advice about short term entry.

You can stay long term based on being married to a Thai. You can wait two years and come using an O-A visa. Look at the Thai Consulate websites for the several requirements for an O-A visa. Search this group for the requirements for stay based on being married to a Thai.

Long term stays for people under 50 years of age are difficult. I guess I would add that you shouldn’t abuse tourist and education visas.

Kasikorn once told me they could do this but that it would cost a couple of hundred baht and take two weeks. That was six months ago when I asked this and it may depend on your branch. I think it is called a credit advice . Good luck.

In 2017 I used notarized Wells Fargo bank statements to submit to the Thai Consulate in L.A. I also submitted my University of California pension letter. I don't which one they used but I was successful getting an O-A visa at that time.

You might eventually have problems repeatedly using visa exempt.

Even if you can get here in the short term you still need to meet the financial requirements to stay here and it sounds like you are financially on the edge. Plus who knows what will happen to your currency exchange rate after Brexit.

Good for him to know if he wanders into Laos or Myanmar

@Tod ********

Out of curiosity, what would happen to his extension of stay if he didn’t have a re-entry permit. Does he get denied entry and have to start over with his extension?

There are a variety of tourist visas and 30 day visa exempt I think for UK citizens. How long do you intend to stay? Best to let the Admins answer after that.

My landlady sent me a photo of the paper receipt. If your landlady files online they are supposed to take a screenshot showing that the TM30 has been filed. I would assume that a photo of the receipt would be as good as the online screenshot. Just in case be prepared to file yourself and pay the fine. If you report to Bangkok Immigration you can report yourself.
