Where Is The Closest Place For A Uk Citizen To Renew A Non O Visa?

[perkie173]

Hey Guys

Without returning to the UK, is there any other embassy where I can renew a Non O visa? I have heard that you can do it in Malaysia and/or Perth but am unsure as to how true this is. Also what are the new rules concerning the Non O? I used to fill it in for visiting friends and family and for learning to scuba dive. I have a house rental lease but aside from this I have heard many people are having trouble with the Non O now?

Hope you can help!

There is currently no reported option to get another under that category anywhere.

Hi,

The thai consulate in Perth closed late last year. You have no chance anywhere in asia of obtaining a non o on the grounds you state.

Hull/Birmingham in the UK are your only chances - although Hull is now looking bleak to - according to some posts here in the last few days & according to their downloadable terms via their website.

I have a multi non o from Hull - prior to that I obtained one at Perth - and prior to that from Hull again all on the basis of visiting my thai girlfriend.

I am fortunate that my father has retired in Thailand so I believe that as long as I can provide the neccessary proof to that fact then I can still obtain a multi non o from either Hull/Birmingham on the basis of visiting him.

However the windows of opportunity are slowly closing for us all - unless of course you get married here and can show proof of income from overseas etc............

Maybe you should consider the thai language course and obtain a ED visa.

All the best

Hey thanks for your replies... I might look into getting another type of visa then. Mine doesn't run out until October I just want to be prepared (and not have to go back to the UK if possible).
