As somebody who has their first Non O — 1 year Extension of Stay date coming up at Bangkok Immigration, I have 2 questions; 1). Am I supposed-to in advance glue one of the 2 recent identical headshots required, to the application form? AND 2. If II have already a preplanned trip back to America this summer, and to avoid dealing with it at the airport in June, is it possible to receive a valid EXIT STAMP in my passport at the end of the upcoming Extension of Stay appointment?

I'm 2 year in on a non o retirement visa from the UK. I've been going home a few times a year with reentry permit. My visa is due for renewal in December my question is I want to go home for an extended stay possibly up to 6 months in May....is this possible or is there a time limit I can stay outside of Thailand before it affects my visa ? From what I've found out 45 days is the limit ....is this right ? What would be the best way round this ? I have the 800,000 Bhat in a Thai bank....Thanks

Question on expiring passports and extension of stay.

I have an OA visa and I am on an Extension of Stay to October 2025 (multi-entry). I do the extension in early September each year.

My (Australian) passport will expire in January 2026.

I have read various posts about this and it seems to me that the simplest approach is to get a new passport before attempting the extension.

I think I can renew the passport in Thailand, but this seems quite a lengthy process.

As an alternative, I have no problem with renewing my passport in Australia mid-year prior to doing the extension in Thailand in September. But that will mean that I leave Thailand on the old passport, and return with the new.

As I understand it, I simply show both passports on return and get the existing extension moved to the new passport once I have arrived.

What is unclear to me is

(a) I have an existing multi-entry stamp in my old passport. Is this still valid (and thus allowing re-entry)?

(b) Once arrived back in Thailand, do I need to immediately "transfer the stamps", or can I just wait until I do the extension, (showing both passports + associated paperwork/insurance/funds etc), as the new extension will go straight into the new passport.

Looking for advice on flaws in my logic/understanding.

Thanks all.

I have a pending consideration stamp in my passport. We plan to leave Thailand for an overseas trip. Will my visa application be cancelled? Google search says it will. Anyone have any experience with this?

Good day.

I am married to a Thai person and we stay about 6 months in Thailand and the rest of the time in my country of residence. We normally break up these stays to periods of 2 to 3 months at a time. So we do quite a bit of traveling.

My question: is there any visa that I should apply for or should I just enter on a tourist visa?

is the re-entry permit for calendar year or through end of current visa?

Hi - having spent the last 14 years travelling between Thailand and New Zealand on 12 month Non O (Thai Spouse) visas I now need to take a different approach as one year is not an option through the E-Visa and the 90 day Non O costs more than 16,000 Baht from the NZ Thai Embassy. As I have the requisite 400K Baht seasoned in my Thai bank account can I arrive on a visa exempt 60 days, apply for a 90 day Non O and then the 12 month extension all within a three to four month period before I have to return to NZ?

Do you need a re-entry permit while on the DTV visa?

Hi,

I have a re-entry permit question specific to Chiang Mai.

I want to get a multiple re entry permit .... i have a Non O visa. I understand the documents I need but not the process.

Do I need to go through the document checking process at Immigration or is there a different counter. Also, does it make any difference which Chiang Mai Immigration office I go to.

Finally .... how long does it normally take?

Thanks so much.

Hi, a question regarding 90 reporting. The slip in my passport asks me to notify my address again on March 13th but above that stamp is written by hand "WEB until 02/03/2025" and I have just received an email telling me notification is due again on March 2nd.

I plan on travelling outside Thailand leaving on February 24th returning around March 10th. (I have a UK passport and an extension of stay based on retirement)

Anyone know what WEB means and which date is applicable? Also, since I will be outside Thailand before either date, do I need to notify them at all and just start my next 90 days on my return?

Thanks
