I have a three months, singls entry, non-imm O, which will give me five months in Thailand, 3 months + 2 months extention.

I have previously had a one year, multiple entry, non-imm O, which gave me 15 months in Thailand, one year + 3 months, (by using visa runs).

What more options are there ?

Do consulates issue three months, multiple entry, non-imm O, or one year, single entry, non-imm O ?

I might add that in my personal exerience, it is, for me, easy to get a three months visa, but very difficult to get a one year visa.

Sorry that is wrong. There is no 2 month extension. All you get is 3 months.

Unless you have a Thai Wife or Child. Looking back at your posts it appears that you do.

Consulates issue a 3 month single entry Non Imm O Visa.

Or a 12 month Multi Entry Visa if you qualify.

If you are not over 50 or have a Thai Wife or Child the only possibility for a 12 month in the area is probably Perth. Even they may be tightening up.

If you have a Thai Wife, as I think you do, Penang or KL will issue.

I got a two months (60 days) extension of my non-imm O, in July 2009, by Nonthaburi immigration (before they moved to the rice field).

You extended your stay but that is only because you used the "visit Thai wife or child" provision for a 60 day extension of stay - those without that proof can not extend there stay. The visa itself is not extendable - only your stay is.

Where was the Nonthaburi Immigration office? I have never heard of one before.

Multi O / , is that the case then for married to a Thai national and have the money in the bank etc.

Last couple of days in the Bangkok Post (online) postbag section, letters about a someone who went to Penang and was only issued with a single entry visa. Mighty pissed off about it, as he used services of a "visa firm too".

Previously he used to return to UK annually and apply for muti entry non O.

Non-O visa can be issued for many reasons, one of them being married to Thai. Most people choose extension of stay based on marriage for convenience (no border runs), but if travelling/abroad a lot, or cannot meet financial requirements for extension of stay, then obtaining 12 month Non-O visa based on marriage is another option.

Very few people have. (There is a newly opened thread about it.)

It is easy to get a three months, single entry, non-imm O, for family reasons, in Penang,

but much more difficult to get a one year, muliple entry, non-imm O, unless you have a fat bank account in Thailand. How much do you need in the bank ? I don't know.

This answers my original question, thank you very much.

Obtaining multiple Non-O visa on basis of marriage to Thai national is not difficult in the region. Go to KL. 30K+ in bank account should do it with marriage certificate etc. Penang will issue too (may need more in the bank).

I was advised by the senior immigration officer in Kantang last week that A NON IMM "O" BASED ON MARRIAGE WITH THE REQUIRED FUNDS ( proof of 40k /month or 400k in the bank for the previous 3 months) can be applied for and issued by that office..no need to go off shore.

Re the visiting family.... 1 year multiple entry Non Imm '0" ..it is available in Perth, just need copy of spouse/partners passport or ID card & maybe house book..THAT IS ALL. Information confirmed yesterday by email from Royal Thai Consulate Perth. PM me if need forms etc.

It would be a good idea if TV assimilated all this information and updated the docs on this site...to avoid too much bloody conjecture and rumour...

You are talking about obtaining extension of stay based on marriage (not a visa) which is issued by Thai immigration. We are talking about alternative option of obtaining multiple entry non-O visa on vasis of marriage from embassy/consulate abroad.

Recent discussions about Perth have been around the issue of Non-O visa for visiting friends on the basis of no relationship with Thai. Yes you can get Non-O visa in Perth on basis of marriage to Thai with correct paperwork.

So what is the benefit of a Non-Imm 'O' over an Extension of Stay of an existing visa?

am I right in thinking:

* Non-Imm 'O' means you have to leave the country every 90 days, while extension of stay doesn't require this

* Non-Imm 'O' has to be applied for outside Thailand while extension can be done at Chaengwattana....?

Non-Imm O visas *can* be obtained within Thailand -- as part of a package deal leading to a one-year extension of stay.

      Zelensky v Putin

      Indeed; there is a misunderstanding of Article 5, which actually doesn't compel members into an armed response, but merely to consider the event at hand. Article 5 argues about an armed attack. 911 showed that was open to interpretation; a Boeing airliner is not a weapons system, but it was used as a weapon. If fallout fell onto a NATO member's territory, those governments, could argue that they have been harmed, or attacked. Ultimately, Article 5 requires a political decision. Article 4 initiates urgent discussions if a member is threatened. The NATO leadership has already that there would be "severe consequences" if Moscow attacked Ukraine with a nuclear weapon. The US NSA has warned of "catastrophic consequences". Members of Congress have already stated that such an attack would be considered by them as an attack, and trigger collective defense consequences. Idiots who don't understand the NATO treaty think its some sort of automatic mechanism that if Moscow is clever, can avoid activating. Decisions are taken politically, and that is a deliberate feature of the Treaty, to strengthen deterrance, to blur what response might happen. A limited nuclear strike would be very harmful to Russia. It reveals their hand, reveals where certain assets are, how those assets were deployed. NATO might well respond, but quite possibly in a massively conventional way, reducing Russia's options for a response. In WW2, both sides thought chemical weapons would be extensively deployed. But they never were; even as the enemy were at the gates, Germany did not deploy its sarin and tabun stockpiles (and it turned out only Germany at the time had weaponised these nerve agents). Possibly Germany was afraid of retaliation in kind, because it wasn't sure what the allies had, but possibly "super weapons", even mythical one, was also a source of power. Remove the Emperor's Clothes; would Hitler have ended up swinging from a lamp post. At what point did the Italian opposition believe that Mussolini had lost his power? Russia keeps talking about its Poseidon system; autonomous nuclear powered nuclear torpedoes, probably about 2MT. Russia has plans for about 30 of these. Probably 6 so far, with no known sea trials. These are launched by "mother ship" submarines, and can remain at sea indefinitely, in theory. Deploying these is not something you do as some sort of retaliation; these are fast for underwater vehicles, at 70 knots or so, but much slower than a missile. The longer these things remain at sea, the more likely there is a technical failure, resulting in Blue on Blue, or mistaking Shanghai for LA. Russia's options to retaliate against a NATO conventional attack are more limited, ICBM only, which they know will invite a massive strategic response, and its not even a surprise attack anymore, so might not be "successful". A Russian tactical strike is less likely because it results in a weakened Russia, not a strengthened. Resistance to it inside the Kremline will likely not be because of some moral indignation, because likely it would dismantle part of Russia's guarantee of survival (as a political entity). The men running Russia are all Slavs. The government is overwhelmingly Slavic, but the population is 30% non-slavic. Its a racist state, somewhat different to the USSR which did have a genuinely diverse political leadership (a Georgian lead it for much of its history). As such, its at risk from ethnic civil wars, eg Chechenya.
