I regularly travel to Thailand as a tourist (for a month), but want to stay for a year next time, next year, with my partner. She is Thai. We can't get married. My questions: The 800,000 THB will be frozen so will not be available for my own use during my stay in Thailand?
My 30 day extension indicates January 16, 2023 as the last day. Does that mean I have to leave Thailand on January 16 or does it have to be 1 day earlier? If I want to do a border run by car to Laos, on which date should I re-enter Thailand? Are there any requirements to enter Laos or re-enter Thailand?
Thailand Visa question No. 424/22: From Tourist to Non-immigrant for long stay through an agency or do it yourself?
I am now staying in Thailand and am going to arrange a long term visa. After each visit to collect more information, I get responses from agencies that they can arrange the application for 40.000 thb or higher.
Can't do that myself, because that's a lot of money. Can I do that at immigration or the Thai embassy?
Thailand Visa Question No. 423/22: What does this text say about '90 days and re-entry' in my passport?
I am now in the process of using up my 30 day extension after entering with an e-Visa. My passport says: to keep your stay permit re-entry permit must be made before leaving Thailand. Notification of residence must be made every 90 days.
I arrive in BKK on 29/03/2023 and depart back on 11/05/2023. Can I use a 60-day visa that I would apply for in February 2023? By this I mean can I have my 60 days visa connected from 11/05/2023?
Thailand Visa question No. 421/22: TM30 notification and rental
I have a question about the experiences with the TM30. About 2 weeks ago I went to make a TM30 report for my tenant at Jomtien Immigration, to my surprise the line of fine payers was extremely long. My impression was that anyone who came to get an extension and could not present a TM30 first had to pay a 1.600 baht fine and then first fix the TM30 before they could get their extension.
Can you still make a border run following a tourist visa single entry and an extension of 30 days to extend your stay by 45 days? I thought I understood that you can only stay in Thailand for 180 consecutive days in a period of 90 days. Or am I mistaken in this?
My questions have probably been answered before, but sometimes I can't see the wood for the trees. I am considering going to Thailand with a tourist visa (60 days). If I want to extend by a maximum of 45 days (before 1/4/2023), I can do a border run within 45 days after arrival in Thailand, but I do have to present an international flight ticket when checking in at Zaventem, for example, which shows that I have entered Thailand. 45 days leaves by plane.
Thailand Visa question No. 418/22: Non-immigrant O Multiple entry – New period of stay through immigration
Is it possible, with a multi-entry visa where you have to make a border run every 3 months, to do this at an immigration office in eg udon and obtain the new 3 months there?
Thailand Visa question No. 417/22: METV – Multiple Entry Tourist Visa validity period and border run?
In response to visa question No. 223/22: METV, you write that with a METV, you get a residence period of 60 days with each entry. You can make as many entries as you want, as long as it is within the validity period of the visa. You can extend each entry once after 60 days by 30 days. Clear answer, but I do have three additional questions.
Do you perhaps also know whether the “income statement” with presentation of the extract from the (Belgian) pension service and declared legal by the Austrian consul is now also accepted by Immigration?
Thailand Visa question No. 415/22: Going to live in Thailand and visa – Non-immigrant O – Thai Marriage

Can I somehow have this visa converted to, for example, a NonImmigrant visa OA multiple entry? Or can I have the visa converted on the spot?
Thailand Visa Question No. 413/22: Visa Denied
We have been traveling to Thailand since 2002 (aged 74 and 76, not married). We always obtained a visa for 3 months in Amsterdam, no problem at all. After 2 corona years we thought we would go back to our second homeland. Everything now had to be digital. Hired an expert for this. We are digital illiterate!
Thailand Visa Question No. 412/22: On Visa Exemption to Thailand?
I land in Bangkok on December 8, and return to Amsterdam on March 7. I want to stay in Bangkok for 5 days first. Then I will go to Laos, where I want to stay for a month. I already booked some there. I want to fly back to Bangkok from Laos in early January 2023. Where I want to stay for the rest of my vacation until March.
Please explain how to obtain an annual visa. I have been married to a Thai woman for 5 months now and have enough money in my Thai bank account in my name. Immigration cannot give me an annual visa, I have to arrange it in my country Belgium. They definitely call that Non O visa. They can lengthen and then borderrun and lengthen again.
Thailand Visa Question No. 410/22: Extend Visa Exemption Period of Stay or a Border Run?
I'm going to Thailand soon for 64 days. I called the Thai embassy to ask if it is possible to extend the 45 day visa for 30 days. Then I got the answer that that is up to the practitioner in Thailand and that they cannot answer that. Then I suggested a visa run. That seems to be forbidden, they said, my contact person was very annoyed by that question.
