TB Immigration Information Letter No. 001/23: Date return ticket EVA air past visa-exemption end date
Today I had contact with the EVA Air staff at Schiphol. My question was how they would deal with my return ticket with a date that is 63 days after the outward flight, while I do not take a visa. I was assured that I can sign a waiver at check-in or at the gate stating that any issues related to the return flight are my risk and not EVA Air's risk.
This morning I extended my stay period again by 1 year until 1/1/2024 at the new immigration office in Kamphaeg Phet. It is a beautiful and spacious office with a clear entrance, in contrast to the old office, which appeared chaotic due to the small space and too many desks stuck together. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Five minutes before the agreed time, it was up to me to hear 5 minutes later that I did not have enough papers with me, being: a copy of the amounts in my bank book and a statement from the bank that the final amount was indeed on my account . According to the officer, this is necessary for Belgians who work with an affidavit.

On October 22, I responded to a discussion about financial difficulties with the Thai Embassy in The Hague when applying for a Non-immigrant O visa.

My contribution was that I did it with Visa Exemption, so no visa, and then the route to Non O at Immigration to enter Udon Thani.
TB Immigration Info Letter 069/22: Requirements around the date of your return flight by airlines regarding a visa
With some regularity, people respond to this blog with questions about an airline's return date policy. I myself had a problem when I left in October with a return date in December. I only had 3 days left on visa. The EVA Air staff was not aware of the fact that if you enter the country before your (Non-immigrant O) visa expires, you will simply receive a 90-day stamp upon entry into the country. They apparently thought that your return date must be before the expiry date of the visa. After a lot of calling and nagging I was allowed to go.

Just a note about applying for a visa for Thailand through Thaievisa.go.th. I was applying for a Non Immigrant O married to Thai woman for 3 months yesterday.

Tried several times with documents converted from JPG to PDF and vice versa but no result, same message every time.
TB Immigration Info Letter 065/22: Thai Embassy The Hague – Application Non-immigrant O – Insurance
Perhaps important as information for you regarding Non immigrant O visa for 90 days. It has been very difficult and impossible for us to obtain a statement from ONVZ stating the amounts required. Arranging the insurance statement yourself with the amounts desired by the Thai embassy is difficult and expensive. My travel companion eventually received an approved Thai insurance statement via Traveldocs for € 350.

Rumors had been circulating for a while and if you looked at the immigration website you could see that something was moving, but I never got further than “Website under construction”. Until I read something about it on the AseanNow website this afternoon.
Response to information letter 059/22 regarding affidavit Hua Hin (thanks to reporter François for the information). Since I myself use the affidavit of the Belgian embassy to obtain an extension of the period of stay, I went to the head office of immigration Hua Hin today to obtain the necessary information.
I just read your post about legalizing a revenue affidavit. Perhaps it is useful to mention that there is also a legalization office located in the Klong Toey BTS station. That is more accessible for most people and it is also not crowded.
