3 year Non-O Multiple entry visa in UK?

[UKCanuk]

Hello,

Last year I noticed there was a 3 year non-O visa option with multiple entries listed on the UK Thai embassy website. I applied for it and was told that this was only for business category people and was given a one year as per previous applications. The wife and I will be back in the UK in the autumn and I see that there has been no change in the web pages where a 3 year non-O is still listed for £250.00.

Has anyone successfully applied for this option? Also, when I applied for the visa last year there was a requirement to prove income of £1,400.00 per month via bank statements. Although I brought the required statements, embassy staff told me they were not necessary. does anyone know if this requirement has been tightened?

Relevant webpages for the visa are here:
