Had plenty of proof the moolah came from overseas. It was the 2 month seasoning that was the glitch.

"Sounds like that was desk 7 Nazi Jomtien, she pushes people to agents" You got it!!! I'm not alone!

Hi there, TLDR: My application for 90 day Non-O visa was rejected today due to my 800,000 THB not having seasoned in my bank for 2 months. I thought I did everything right, detail oriented kinda guy I am. Left Thailand for Laos, had a smacking good time for a week, then returned to Thailand visa exempt. I hosed my (then) current Non O-A, by not having a reentry permit. By design. Sorry to say, UbonJoe and DrJack54, your idea of NOT needing the money to be seasoned when first applying for the 90 Day Non-O visa didn't work out in my case. What did I miss? I wonder if I messed up somewhere, or missed a more current post or law. Your post was dated July 21, an aeon ago when it comes to immigration rules (titled: 'Conversion of 30 day visa exempt stamp to Non O and then retirement extension') Nor does the documentation from immigration, link posted in the same article, say anything about needing to season your 800K. Long story short, I got an extension on my 45 day visa exempt entry, but due to the timing of the deposit to my bank, I'll probably need to go back to Laos. Or argue with immigration. 555555 Oh, by the way, the 'officer' offered to make all my problems go away, by paying her a measly 22,000 THB. I use the word 'officer' loosely. More like an 'agent' IMO. One more thing. I didn't know, because I'm a long-term renter, that if I leave the country, I have to do a new TM30, even if I reside at the same place. Got a 1600 baht fine for not doing that. All in all, a great day at immigration. PFFFTTTHTTT. One good thing to report. This is my first brain-freeze at Jomtien immigration in the 14 years I've lived here. Generally, I find their service and attitude professional and kind. That's all to report for now.
