Visa Questions

[cougar52]

I understand that Penang does not offer a 90 day Non O visa anymore, My question is can I receive one in Singapore or KL. I would like to know if they require anytype of fininacil info. I just want a 90 Non-O so I can get my driver's license.

Secondly, I was told (not verified) that a nortorized letter from my Embassy was all I needed for proof of my pension?

Any help greatly appreciated

What are your grounds for applying for a non-o?

Unless it's marriage to a Thai or support of a Thai child (yours) then you are unlikely to get an 'o' visa anywhere in SE Asia. You MAY get one if you're 50 and intend extending as a retiree.

I'm pretty sure Penang are still doing single entry 'O's for marriage, multis are available at KL or Singapore. AFAIK non of these locations are asking for financial statements for support visas.

I have had several Non-O visa's (90 day and 2 1year multi entry). I want to stay for 90 more days to renew my DL and then will go home to get a new 1 year multi and get my retirement visa. However, it is very bad timeing at this time as I am required for med check up in New York after the first of the year and I just don't want to make two trips in 3 months.

Sorry Cougar, but we really need to know what actual GROUNDS you are going to use for getting your O (what you put in the 'reason for visit' box).

Were your previous 'O' visas obtained locally? If yes, you should be able to use the same reason, if not, as I noted previously, you're unlikely to get one in SE Asia unless it's for support
