One Year Non-O Visa And Passport Validity

[dsk]

I would like to make new one year Non-O Visa. I have everything what is required - except one thing. My passport validity only 17 months. The validity of 18 months is required for one-year visa application.

Do i have chance get multiply visa for one year, or maybe shorter time (for 11 months)?

There is no 11 month validity of a non-O, it is either 3 months for a single or 1 year for a multiple.

When asking such question, it is useful to state which consulate you are talking about.

Thank you the answer. I will try in KL.

You can not qualify for extension of stay from Immigration inside Thailand? That would not require 18 month validity of passport.

This is my plan B if I will get only 3 months visa. I can't make visa extension now because it's need about 3-4 weeks.

If you meet the financial requirements you can apply for an extension of stay up until your last permitted to stay date - they provide an under review extension while awaiting approval. But if you can not meet the conditions yet a single entry should provide time to do so.

Thank you, it's useful. I know the financial requirements 400.000 THB for 2 months in my name. But I heard this can be less if I have monthly income? How much bangk deposit need if I have a work permit and 50.000 THB monthly (because this is minimum wage for work permit).

It can not be less but if you have 40k per month income that can be used in place of the 400k in bank requirement.
