Lite Beer Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 You need to have the money in the bank for two months. Once you have your extension you can dip into the money and top up when you apply again next year. You will need a re entry permit if you want to leave the country during the next year.

lopburi3 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 For the first application only a 60 day seasoning is required so application can be made on a normal 90 day non immigrant O visa entry or conversion to that. For next year it will have to be in account for the three months prior to application. As said you will require a re-entry permit for travel and return to Thailand and you can obtain at the same time as extension of stay (after getting) for 1,000 baht fee single or 3,800 baht multi entry.
