pisk Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hello folks, this is my first post on Thaivisa! I am currently located in Thailand on a double-entry tourist visa. I would like to stay here some more, so i figure i have the following two options, is that correct? Apply for another tourist -- what are the chances of being granted one? How many tourists can i expect to obtain before being rejected? Apply for a non-immigrant O visa, preferably 1 year multiple entry. Would i have to go back to Europe for this, or could i apply somewhere in Asia/Australia? I have no Thai girlfriend/wife (and not looking for one), i do not work in Thailand (and not looking for work) and i am <40 years old, so no retirement visa for me. No Thai bank account either, although I have enough money in my European account, should that make any difference. The stay is purely a vacation for me. Any advice? Cheers!

Archimedes Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) You might look into the education visa method, it might be a suitable alternative for you. Edited June 5, 2010 by Archimedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 You might look into the education visa method, it might be a suitable alternative for you. School gave me 6 month visa papers, Thai consulate in Toronto gave me one year Ed visa. Good option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 For what reason would you get a Non Immigrant O Visa from your home country? Just get another Tourist Visa, but do not use the same place too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hull would issue a non immigrant 'o' to visit friends no friend details required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisk Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hull would issue a non immigrant 'o' to visit friends no friend details required. Even to foreign EU citizens (non-UK)? That sounds good, but i'll try calling Perth first -- i heard rumours that they also issue non-immigrant O there without following the official restriction of purpose to "marriage/dependent/investment/medical/retirement".

You'll need an invitation letter and copy of an Thai ID-card in Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shouldn't be a problem, i know plenty of people in Thailand by now I suppose the invitation letter doesn't have to state any intimate relationship, right.
