Non Immigrant "o" Based On Rental Agreement

[Manou]

As I am now in Thailand on a tourist visa and have to leave the country every 60 days I want to get a non immigrant O visa.

I come from Holland so the easyest place to do that is Amsterdam.

Like some time ago I was reading on the site of the Thai consulate in Amsterdam about the requirements for this visa (www.thaiconsulate-amsterdam.org).

They write the following about it:

They write the following about it:

O:

woman/man: a copy of the marriage certificate

child: copy certificate of birth/copy passport mother

house: tenancy agreement Thailand

50 years: Financiel evidence/copy bankstatement (€ 1250) and a copy passport

retirement: retirement evidence, also financial and copy passport

practical: (not for study/work) letter authority in the Netherlands/ Thai practical authority

In my eyes this means that I only have to give my rental agreement to get the Non Immigrant "O" 1 year multiple entry.

Seems to easy so if someone knows more about it or has delt with this, please let me know.

Doing a visarun every 90 days in stead of every 60 days would be nice as it would be to be able to put a simple thing as a motorbike in my own name.

Many thanks in advance for your answers!

Whatever it may have said in the past the Thai Consulate Amsterdam now lists 5 qualifying reasons how you can request a Non Imm O visa and 'rental agreement' is not one of them, bringing the instructions in line with Thai consulates worldwide.

Not in the past. That is on their site right now!

That is why I am asking..

You can find it on this page http://www.thaiconsulate-amsterdam.org/visa_uk.asp

Ok I understand. Sounds logic was to easy. If the consulate replies my email with something different I will report it here.

My trouble is I work from my computer for my Dutch company. Basicly means I only spend money here and earn in Holland.

Sure I could go for the tourist visa all the time for 60 days, but a non immigrant muliple entry would be great.

Any info what is the easyest way to get it. I heard the consulate in England gives them out easy..

All info would be most apreciated!

Ah now you've got it!. Officially to apply for a Non Imm O visa having a rental agreement doesn't cut it. However the consulates in UK appear to issue Non Imm O visa for the reason 'to visit friends' but that is not a valid reason from the MFA Thailand so most consulates do not issue for that reason.
