Obtaining A 1 Year Visa (Non-O) From An Consulate In Belgium?

[ArnoJaco]

I have been living in Thailand for the past year and a half on a tourist visa.

However, due to some personal & family reasons I have had to come back to Belgium.

I will however be returning to Thailand next month and I was hoping to obtain a one year non-O visa.

A friend of mine gets one of these every year in the UK without being married, without being retired, ... he just shows a letter from his mother claiming she is responsible for any financial debts he may incur and based on that he is given a non-O for one year...

Is there anyone who has had any experience with this type of visa from any of the Thai consulates in Belgium? (I say consulates because I have picked up in the past that they tend to be more lenient than the actual embassy)...

Answers in Flemish and French are welcome ))

Thank you for any info.

Arno.
