Bababooey Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 A 58 year old American friend of mine is planing a trip to Thailand. He would like to stay for 99 days but if that'sgoing to be a big hassle then can modify the trip to stay for only 90 days. He has the proof of income to get a 90 day visa at the New York Consulate. Can he extend for an extra 9 days? Would be a bit of a hassle for him to extend for a year as would require a trip to the USA Embassy in Bangkok for a notarized form and he does not want to wire in 800K baht. Any ideas?

Jingthing Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) I suggest instead of a single entry O visa, that your friend apply for a double entry tourist visa, each good for a 60 day stay. That would involve one trip to a neighboring country either as a visa run or a short side trip. Going for a retirement extension in his case is absurd overkill. On top of that, tourism is not a valid reason for getting a single entry O visa in the first place. Edited October 18, 2011 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Jingthing is right on the spot. Proof of income is irrelevant. Why not have your friend apply for a double entry tourist visa? 60 days initially on arrival, and an additional 30days at immigration. Brings your friend to 90 days. Then if the dude want to stay longer, a quick boarder hop will grant him well over the 99 days you’re looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
