In my understanding, you need an approved health insurance for an OA Visa extention too.

I got an approved insurance certificate now already for my OA Visa extention coming up.

Thank you all for your comprehensive answers. Very helpful very much appreciated????

Thank you very much, Ubonjoe.

So do I understand correct, l can get an extention for a year on my existing OA Visa done here at Amnat Chaoren City. 

The visa l have now, in my passport issued by the Thai Embassy in Australia, is a multiple entry Longstay OA Visa, from the 11 April 2019 till 10 April 2020. 

My latest return entry to Thailand from overseas, was 3 December 2019 and l got from the airport immigration an extention stamp to Stay till the 1st December 2020.

I do believe up to 45 days before the 1st December 2020 l could apply at Amnat Chaoren City for an extention of Stay for 12 more months?

Yes, l have always well over 800,000 Baht in a Thai Bank already over 6 months ago deposited and I  do not touch that account, all in readiness for the Visa OA extention.

Has anyone already renewed a OA Visa at Amnat Charoen city? I am familiar with all the requiered documentation, inclusive the correct Health Insurance etc., what I wish to specifically know, is it impossible to get the formentioned Visa RENEWED at Amnat Chaoren City Immigration office?

Also is there, at Amnat Chaoren City,  like in Chiang Mai, where I use presently a Visa agency to help with documentation processes? 

With many thanks in advance.

I have just made my Health insurance with a Thai Insurance, and have well over 800k Baht in  a Thai Bank for over 6 months, in order to renew my LONGSTAY OA Visa next year. 

Play by their Rules for one and use a good reputable Visa Agency to get all forms correctly prepared is definitely my advise. 

Anything else only creates stress and lots of running around for any applicant ????

Yes, I was told the same in CM.

Only need to do TM30 when returning from out of Thailand. 

Well, I went to see Da Nang for 2 weeks holidays. On my return to Thailand on my multiple entry OA visa I got another 12 months extended. No problems.

You could be refused to entre Thailand, even with your ED Visa in your passport! 4 back to back TR Visa could give you already some problems.

Advise, see a reputable Visa Spesialized Firm and let the professionals guide you.

Best of luck????

Your post is a bit confusing.

What nationalities are you and your wife ? Where does India come into it? Where did you apply from?

But after all, if they state that there is no appeal for you accepted, I would have thought that this is it the end of the road.

Many countries, clearly stipulate, that any application for a visa can be refused without any reason given, and no refund being paid either.

Borderruns seem to be coming to an end from what I can read. 

All very confusing indeed. One can not really make head or tail of all the different rules being applied.

What I would do in your situation , see immigration at the border first, prior to do the crossing, and get them to tell you if it is possible still or not to get a visa extension on your direct return.????

Why not ask any owner of such a sidecar, they soon tell you where to get it. Easy????

Is there a possibility to ask CM IM directly.  Then you can be sure if you can go there or not.

I can't advise, but wish YOU luck.
