Just bumping your thread as no replies. This is from Thai gov web...... "Travelers from Korea, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Chile will receive permission to stay in Thailand for up to 90 days under Visa Exemption. This applies to both airport and land border entries." From reading the whole article is appears that the two border entries per calendar year applied to Brazilian nationals. Thinking she can stay good length of time. Hopefully someone with first hand experience can reply.

Thankyou. However they are wanting 12 month bank statements. I'm aware Bangkok Bank requires a number of days for this whereas some banks can do it on the spot.

So my last extension CW using "money in bank method" the io advised that next time they wanted Bank Statements. So my question ...is it possible for Kasikorn Bank to issued the bank statements at CW same day as attending for extension? TIA

So rather than vague rant better to outline how you had issues at your immigration office. Also include specific details. From my experience most often it is farang not preparing correct docs.

Thanks but was almost rhetorical question. The agents in Pattaya seem to have more options. Anyway....all a bit off topic The OP has not indicated use of agent or his immigration office. Also the OP has not provided exact dates for planed trip and expiry of current permission of stay. I asked earlier in thread. Without proper engagement from OP,s in any thread then it's pointless.

Which province

Correct. Dont know how many years back. Maybe @BritTim has an idea. Back to this OP....if for eg the financials are changed I think it will applied to those perhaps other than the group you mention. Personally find this thread jumping at shadows.

There are two threads regarding applying way early such as 90 days. Both are using agents and both are at Jomtien immigration. Your experience provides good advice for that office and doing extensions using agent. Does narrow the field for others not in Pattaya. Maneerat so approx 13k. Shows another added bonus using agent.

Which agent and how much did it cost. This is not a new situation regarding desire to obtain extension early for various reasons. The most common one being need to travel prior to the 30/45 days prior. Then you flop out that you had it done 90 days early. Never read of one post remotely similar.

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/
