    Northern Irish Jack so it's a British passport I hold does that change it ? 

    Thanks again

    I understand the confusion. 

    Being Northern Irish thinking you have a British pp.

    If that's the case you should be visa exempt to Vietnam.  

    As I stated earlier even if you need a visa, it's very simple process.

    Back to your main question re exit and reenter thailand visa exempt that would work.

    If you haven't been to Saigon feel free to pm for advice.

    Would you go alone or travel with family

  2. You don't have a visa.

    You have an extension.

    You can go to Vietnam and stay few days and return visa exempt and obtain another 30 day stamp.

    Are you eligible for visa exempt entry to Vietnam 

    That can be extended by 30 days.

    Since that will be another entry to Thailand you can again obtain a 60 day extension to visit wife.

    How long do you wish to stay in Thailand

    Not in my IO at Korat they were not when i had my stamps transferred in 2015. My ''ridiculous'' comment was aimed at the requirement by your IO, i just can't see the need for such information but i do understand that some IO's appear to act on their own requirements.   

    And I did not need bankbooks when I did transfer of stamps to renewed pp in 2016

    At CW you do now.

    Note in my first post I put this information out as an "Aside": information for folk transferring stamps at CW

    Ridiculous, WTF has a bank book got to do with passport renewal and stamp transfers

    I'm telling you what occurred to me 2 weeks ago at CW.

    I had the bank book with me as I had read reports of CW requiring this for transferring visa info and stamps from old to new pp.

    My experience confirms this. 

    Please post facts rather than anything Ridiculous

    From your response it is implied that in order to switch from the 'Funds-in-Bank' method to 'Monthly-income-transfer' method, that you need to show full compliance for BOTH methods in the 12 months preceding your application for the 1-year extension

     Being Oz I cannot obtain the income letter

    If I could, then thinking compliance with the money in bank requirements and embassy letter and perhaps couple of months transfers would be sufficient. 

    Someone who has actually done the process can outline what they did. 

     

    Aside note for others. 

    Recently obtained new pp and had stamps transferred..

    CW made me photocopy all pages of bank books. 

    Perhaps a worry for someone using an agent for annual extensions

    Presumably if he applied for a visa at the embassy or online they would tell him that he has been banned and reject the application. 

    Yes and even if he was successful with obtaining a tourist visa, I suggest he enter via land border so if refused entry not a horror show compared to denied entry at Thai airport

    What about the financial requirements for converting to a single non-O (Marriage) in country?

    Depends how long he needs to have money in place. 

    He is aware of the 60 day extension to visit wife and assume aware of 30 day extension to visa exempt entry. 

    If he plans to obtain both of those extensions he should do the 30 day first.

    Single entry from Savannahket starting to sound good.

     

    Not clear if his embassy provides income letter. 

  8. You are slightly confused.

     

    The single entry you refer to is actually a Non O based on marriage. 

    That gives you a 90 day stamp.

     

    In last 30 days with minimum 15 days remaining on stamp you can apply for 12 month extension.

    Yes you can apply for 60 day extension to visit wife.

     

    You do not need to obtain Non O in Savannahket,  you can enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain the Non O at your local immigration office.

     

    Does your country provide "income letter" you could use income method instead of money in bank method.

    Someone applying in the e-visa system on the 19th, could apply in Wellington and elsewhere (and deleting the application before paying if necessary) to be able to post a screen shot of the cost for two different locales.

    We will know in few days.

    Thinking you reported this on previous thread.

    Ridiculous increases from NZ evisa.

    We all hope this is serious error and other countries do not have same Ridiculous increases.

    What does that actually mean ? if you don't mind me asking     Why would anybody need a "base"   in Thailand if travelling around Asia ?  and  what form would this "base " take?  would you maintain some form of rented accommodation here whilst day   tripping   (or longer) to Laos and Cambodia     sounds a bit bizarre to me but each to their own

    Doesn't  sound bizarre to me at all.

    If he opts for cheap digs in Thailand on a monthly rental...makes perfect sense to travel to other Asian countries and maintain his Thai rental

    Please be careful making assumptions that people are "unfamiliar" with 90 day reporting. I use no agents ever and do all my immigration business myself.

    So for advice for others ...

    Which immigration office have you had zero issues with online reporting.

     

    Have you been able to do online reporting after trip outside of Thailand.  

     

    You also mention out of Thailand 2022+3

    There are countless reports of no success using online. 

    Personally have had 3 rejection and  need to report in person, and yes I use autofil (magnifying glass) 

    Mail in no issue.

    So which immigration office? 

  12. 18 minutes ago, StandardIssue said:

    It is nothing new that they discourage this with the exception that they are clamping down on immigration policy and starting to enforce the ever changing, evolving and stricter immigration rules.

    What immigration rules are your referring to.

    Yes there exists 2 visa exempt land border entries per calendar year. 

    There is no such rule for visa exempt entries via air. 

    Thailand could easily set more definitive rules. 

    They opt not to. 

     

  13. 4 minutes ago, StandardIssue said:

    What difference would that make? Why would mail in be approved and online not approved?

    You are unfamiliar with  90 day reporting history.

    In person and via mail virtually bullet proof.

     

    Reporting online has been hit and miss for years. 

    Almost weekly reports on this. 

    Failure even moreso at CW which is the OP situation. 

    How have your TM47 reports been working out?
