It's disappointing that you were put through the ringer. Even more so with a valid multi non O.

No. I was correcting another post. You can apply for a non O in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa. For that process you require 15+ days remaining on permit. Some offices eg CM require 21. You are not applying for a non O. You are asking about applying for extension. That can be done any time prior to expiry of your permission of stay

So you exited Thailand and reentered with a 90 day stamp.

The extension is added to your current permission of stay.

You are referring to 60 day extension to visit wife. That can be done anytime prior to expiry of current permit.. As usual unless inconvenient best to apply with few days early

No. You need 15+ days remaining on permission of stay to apply for a Non O. The OP is asking about applying for 12 months extension. The 30 days you refer to is under consideration period. He can apply anytime prior to expiry of his current permission of stay

No. In any event you can obtain credit advice that the funds into savings came from abroad. Same bank for the 2 accounts I assume

Thanks for detailed report. Will be useful to many..

Transfer the 800k prior to applying for the non O into savings account. After you obtain the non O, transfer funds from the savings account into the FD account. 60 days+ later apply for 12 month extension..

That is correct however that's not your situation. I'm not all that familiar with BOI so hopefully others can advise you.

Visas are not cancelled. You had a single entry non O. It was "used" upon entry to Thailand. The stamp you were given was a 90 day permission of stay. The subsequent 60 day extension to visit wife was another temporary permission of stay. Nothing more to state on this topic. Also a new passport does not erase any history.

You are being told nonsense. You entered Thailand on a single entry non O. Then obtained a 60 day extension. Subsequently exited and reentered visa exempt. There is nothing to cancel.

There is 2 older threads that agree with your post. Won't post links. Best advice to OP is to attend immigration for horses mouth advice.

Post a serious thread. Clearly the Ed visa is just a means to stay in Thailand. There are better options. You could obtain a METV giving 9 month stay and learn Spanish privately, perhaps online.

Indeed. The report you refer to seems 100% clear. Let's hope it wasn't just one io using old requirements at Savannakhet. Another report will be valuable..

Valid point. The information in thread not reliable. Thread closed.

Thinking this thread has limited lifespan. The information is not credible and we have virtually same thread few days ago.

Recently discussed in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1325542-has-anyone-heard-of-a-new-law/ Incorrect information

OP, if you have not previously obtained 60 day extension to visit wife you could push your application for annual extension.

Work is only prohibited for those on extensions based on retirement. Your earlier posts re extensions based on retirement are confusing the thread. Retirement and marriage have very different financial requirements.

Many of your threads open with line. It's boring. First reply has provided sound advice.

OP, thinking this is a good example of actually attending immigration office for their take on your options. You are aware of the fact that when divorced your permission of stay is invalidated. However as you point out... immigration will not be informed. The reentry permit means that you really need to exit end of Oct and obtain a non B Hopefully someone with same experience as you are in can provide good advice. Good luck

Thanks for detailed report. So the 400k not seasoned for 2 months. Good news. Well done.

Yep. Take a right turn just prior to building B. I parked in undercover car parking rear entry to building B. Crowded yes but few spots available. I arrived approx 10am
