Pretty much what you stated. Some recommend that you have 20k baht or equivalent currency. Rarely asked for. The airline at departure may require onward flight.

Current duplicate thread running. Will close this one

The deposit on the day of application serves as an update. Note OP: There is minimum deposit for FD account. Most banks is 1000b

More importantly it needs to be paid at Savannakhet consulate at this stage in person. The time for processing is not clear. Also the OP (absent) stated... "I not have the financial requirements (400K)" Don't really follow the strategy. With no funds for 12 month extension he would be best off obtaining visa exempt entry 60 + 60 day extension to visit wife and sort out finances. Never understand issue with financial requirements for extensions based on marriage. Such a basic requirement especially compared to retirement.

You posted same thread on Dec 15. You had one reply. Mine. You did not follow up with any further questions. Engage in your thread if looking for advice.

Didn't they allow foreign insurance policy unless .... "The applicant must submit a completed, signed, and stamped Foreign Insurance Certificate" This possible catch 22 if foreign company will not provide same.

Think you are correct. My point earlier was that having a Non O cuts ties for extensions to insurance. Having a Non O you can choose the exact amount of insurance along with company or self insure. Of course if doing extensions from a Non O-A and based on marriage then no insurance is required. Attached is recent thread that was discussing possible changes to insurance requirements. https://aseannow.com/topic/1339513-any-news-on-the-inurance-requirment-for-oa-visa/

Question answered. Thread closed

I was addressing what you thought io was stating in order to refuse you entry. In any event you were successful after stay night/s in Laos. This sends alarm bells to border bounces. Lot of folk celebrating when visa exempt via land became "unlimited," Perhaps some cold water has been thrown on that.

Applying for Non O in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry does not require a flight out of Thailand. Think about it. Most folk obtaining the Non O at local immigration office in Thailand intend to obtain subsequent 12 month extension. Perhaps no plan to return "home country"

Good. The pic I posted earlier (not taken by me) can you confirm that is current pic that you will attend.. Also if you opt for service fee that is smoothe. My last reentry permit at DMK it was actually tad busy. Seemed I was only one with filled in TM8 pic attached

Do they have 200b "service fee" option at CNX as they do at BKK and DMK where the form and filling in and photo is all provided? Single is 1000b 1900 b is for extensions

Is this when you do not enter visa Zone 2. Some folk using fast track lane (not available zone 2) turn left after passport control and walk to Zone 2. Where is the "new desk/office" for reentry permit

A payment to expedite same day bounce does not equate to illegal entry to another country via boat.

Post recent report of rejection of 30 day extension to a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Simple. Otherwise your claim is pointless

Removed off topic post regarding other countries

That is 10 years ago. Also not sure of your particular situation at that time. Still better..post recent report of application for 30 day extension to visa exempt or tourist visa entry rejected. Obviously not down to paperwork eg TM30 etc Waiting

In another of your threads you ask about filming in shopping centers. Think I have probable cause. Not all "western countries" are the same. You could also ask in which Western countries can you refuse a random breath test. Random means no requirement for reason to require a test drug/alcohol

Correct. Think SR services was mentioned earlier. That will guarantee entry even with solid history. I don't regard it as cheap however its safe.

The OP, has been asking sames questions over long period. Along with border run advice. Again and again.. Here one example @pantsonfire you have been given information often. No one can guarantee io won't question your extensive history. Did you consider (look into) DTV. Seems possible match for your ongoing situation.. Or you could marry the gf

Thanks for update. If Nong Khai continue with this along with other land border crossings then this is bit of game changer. "Games" being operative word. Surely this would not apply to bounce for Visa holders such as METV. Perhaps some will consider grab a DTV

While still in the 400k window open the new account. You mention SCB. That's fine. Personally I would consider Kasikorn. In any event just prior to needing the 800k to satisfy the two months prior to application.....transfer the 400k into the new account. After that is deposited transfer or withdraw the 400k you have in existing account and place into new account. Immigration will want to see bank statements and bank letters and bank books from both accounts on day of application Note: BBL is only bank (to my knowledge) that requires few days to provide annual bank statement. I would for that reason alone skip them

Given you are only planning 3 month stay you could consider SETV. Not sure of cost now. As you have been out of Thailand for some time you could try visa exempt. SR services is a recommended agent for "safe entry" at airports however thinking not required. Especially if you opt for visa.
