Doesn't seem to apply much in Thailand. When the changed to insurance requirements for extensions from a non O-A the only immigration office that provided grandfathering regarding changes to insurance was Phuket. If there are ever changes to any aspect of (for example financials) then I would not for one blink think grandfathering comes into play.

The guy you are quoting would be returning to own country every year or two if exit just prior to visa expiry and obtain a 12 month stamp. Does not suit many. If you do not return to home country you can obtain 12 month extension at immigration that has financial requirements along with insurance.

Have read all your posts. All of which are incorrect. Here is pic of a non O. It has two dates. Issue date and enter before date. When you are stamped in you are given a 90 day permission of stay. The non O is stamped USED. Granted many examples of misuse of term VISA. Thing CW at the L desks have sign VISA EXTENSION. Most of the time there is no confusion. Sometimes there is.

BitTim has pretty much covered it. Added point to consider staying in Thailand on tourist visas and border bounce is LOCATION. For example staying Samui is fine for tourist visa stamp + 30 day extension. From there it's better to stay in locations that have more easy border runs (visa exempt entry) options. No good options for ongoing stay in Thailand for unmarried under 50. Just a suggestion ....Spending half the year (cumulative) in Thailand and other 6 months in places like Vietnam is possible.

Good news you're a good bloke. FWIW thinking agent was best idea and seems you had good service. HB to pop.

You will not require any insurance for a non O obtained in Thailand also none for 12 month Extensions

For once disagree. It's more a warning notation at very best. Immigration at airports and land borders would be aware of that. Minor infraction.

How on earth does this thread belong in Visa forum. Even in pub forum it's suspect. Rather vulgar OP post. Just one person's opinion. 2 pages of rubbish..

You left out important word in your first post that was included in this one "AGENT"

Exactly what dates of exit from Thailand and expiry of current permission of stay.

You cannot do an extension from outside Thailand. You could exit without a reentry permit and return visa exempt. Obtaining new non O at your immigration office

Yes immigration can be late passed the report back date. For the passport owner No. Imagine if farang just start returning one week or more past the due back date. My guess is he will be ok but immigration certainly won't be saying ..."no problem mate we here at immigration happy to help. Have a lovely day"

This thread contains some guesswork however also has couple of posts from uj. Also here. Problem is most of the threads post about couple of days late. Not 10 days. https://aseannow.com/topic/1187537-under-consideration-for-oct-26-can-i-go-a-couple-days-later/

You misunderstood lopburi. Also cut what he posted. Clearly was referring to someone in Thailand can do the 90 day report early. I generally do mine at 75 day mark. As for issue with online report. Are you using this link https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add

Not all countries have eVisa. Regarding where to apply here is quote from ubonjoe from thread I posted earlier... "The non-ox visa can only be applied for at a Thai embassy or official consulate in your home country or country of legal residence"

In this thread ubonjoe posts meaning not possible. https://aseannow.com/topic/1164674-non-immigrant-visa-o-x/

Many folk post this The due date counts So it's actually apply 14 days prior to due date and 6 days after due date.

I'm guessing you are applying at KL and not Penang. Here is a thread regarding tourist visa for Thailand from KL. Take note post @OJAS If you qualify for visa exempt entry to Thailand you could consider other options. Visa exempt entries can be extended by 30 days. You could enter visa exempt and extension and also do a border bounce and enter again do extension That's (30+30) + (30 + 30) How long do you wish to stay in Thailand? https://aseannow.com/topic/1267114-tr60-embassy-in-kuala-lumpur-wants-me-to-pay-my-entire-stay-up-front/

That stamp basically states that your 90 day report was late and you were fined 2k baht..

@TPDH many threads on process from visa exempt to non O marriage and subsequent extension Assume that you have Thai bank account in your name only. https://aseannow.com/topic/1252365-non-o-and-marriage-extension-questions/

Happy to be corrected however don't agree. There are many threads re changing from based on retirement to marriage etc.... However for the very FIRST extension it must be done on the what the non O is based on. The OP entered with a non O based on marriage. It's my understanding that he cannot obtain an extension based on retirement for his first extension.

Yes regarding airline requesting to see onward flight. Immigration on arrival will not ask to see onward flight. The critical thing when obtaining non O in Thailand is to have a Thai bank account in place. Re onward flight at departure I have suggested in other thteads.... try obtain boarding pas and if airline insists upon onward flight step away from counter and do online ticket with company such as "onwardticket.com" it's a 2 minute process . Screenshot of ticket is sufficient for airline. Obviously you need internet.

Never.

Yes. The onward flight is purely for airline at departure. Upon arrival Thai immigration not interested in onward flight

OP if entering Thailand visa exempt google ..onwardtickek.com The airline departure may/will require onward flight. Rent a ticket for 12 USD works fine
