  1. Thank you very much for the tip and advice, I will also take a look at the link you sent. I greatly appreciate all the help I've been getting!
  2. I'm a bit confused, is working/having a job mandatory? I do have an income but my wife's is higher and from my understanding just one of the married partners has to have an income above 30k THB, not both? We don't have children (yet) if that makes a difference. Maybe I am mistaking, haha. I mostly work freelance but with some convincing I think I could get a full-time job for a company if that would be necessary. Thanks for bringing it up. Is it recommend to get Thai nationality over getting permanent residency? Are there no disadvantages comparing one to another?
  3. Thanks. And yes, but like I said.. it just slipped my mind.. I was excited about the thought of seeing my family after over 2 years and my head was filled with other thoughts than Thai visas and entry permits.. but lesson learned nonetheless.
  4. I was thinking about applying in about 3 years so that sort of works out. Thank you.
  5. Thank you all for the helpful and detailed replies. Glad to hear I won't need to leave and re-enter Thailand to apply for my new non O. Won't make the mistake of forgetting my re-entry permit again, that's for sure. Sort of related question: In several years time I would like to apply for a permanent resident status, could this incident in any way negatively impact my application a few years from now? Once again, many thanks to all of you for your friendliness and kind help.
  6. Hello everyone My Thai wife and myself just returned from visiting family abroad and on arrival the immigration officer in very broken English notified me there was something wrong with my visa. He called a superior and she explained I missed the required entry permit, which I did forget to apply for because of not traveling so long during the coronavirus period, it just slipped my mind. They told me they would give me entrance but I would have to figure it out with our local immigration office as soon as we were able to leave our 7 alternative quarantine. We know the staff at our local immigration office quite well so we sent them scans of my passport to see what we could do to rectify the issue. They told us that the immigration officer cancelled my non-immigrant type O (based on marriage with my Thai wife) and gave me a W.30 (30 days tourist visa). They told us that we probably have to do the whole type "o" visa process again, completely from the start. This would mean I'd have to fly back home, apply for a visa from my home country, and then come back to Thailand? This surely can not be the case just because I forgot to apply for a re-entry permit in advance? I moved here about 3 years ago, have my dear wife's family here and can't imagine this is possible what they are telling me? Am I crazy for thinking this situation is crazy? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
