Hello,

I am American. Last year I got a non-immigrant O from the Denver, Colorado Thai consulate. I stayed in Thailand 1 year, and now I am back in the US to visit family and obtain another visa. I applied for another non-immigrant O, but now they tell me they will not issue me one. They say I must either be married to a Thai girl, or getting an education in Thailand, otherwise all I qualify for is a tourist visa.

I thought I might ask around to see if there is another consulate I might try? A regular old tourist visa is not going to do me any good.

Any help appreciated - thanks.

It costs $395 for their service but It gets the job done.

Otherwise you could get a Non-ED visa through Walen or Pro which will entail 4 hours of class a week and around $1300 tuition, visa, and extension fees.
