Can I apply for a work permit while on a 'Thai husband' extension instead of changing my visa?

Alf ***********

@Sandra *******

, a visa is for entering the country. The extension you have is your stay permit. So you're on no visa at all.

How can my brother get the correct number of days for his e-visa to Thailand?

Alf ***********

A visa is not a stay permit in Thailand.

The permission to stay stamp he will get on arrival will be for 60 days, if he arrives with a tourist visa.

Why does my income letter need verification by MOFA after being issued by my embassy in Thailand?

Alf ***********

I'm guessing (and got it confirmed in the comments) that you are using the office in Pattaya for an in-country non-immigrant visa.

They do, for some reason, require the income letter to be legalised by the MFA.

They do NOT have this requirement for extension of stay.

Should I enter Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption or opt for a longer visa to convert to a Non-O Retirement?

Alf ***********

@Kevin ********

, the visa you are looking for is non-immigrant O, based on being over 50 years old (retirement).

In the Thai E-visa portal you look for this alternative:

Why was my TM30 form removed and asked to return to Pattaya Immigration before my visa expiration?

Alf ***********

, 30 days (45 in some offices) and some may want you to come the last week.

You will not lose any days, because you are not changing extensions. You get your first one.

In other words it starts when your entry stamp expires.

They are doing you a favour.

Because the 60 days start counting when you apply.

This way you will not lose a lot of days
