First up thanks for an excellent site.

I am Australian, over 50 entering on Sept 18 on visa exempt.

Have month booking at Jomtien and Tm30 arranged.

1.Get Residency Cert. 2. Open bank acc.

3.Trf 800,0000 baht

4. Obtain 90 day non immigrant O visa

5. Get 1 year extension.

Problems.

1. Jomtien requires seasoning of 800,000 for two months. Can I get initial 90 day visa at another IO?

If so where is closest?

2. Am heading back to Australia Dec 22nd for family Xmas. How early in my 90 day visa can I apply for extension? Would extension be available before 90 day visa expires so I can get in passport before 22 nd Dec. Would buy reentry permits with extension.

Or

Can I organise a reentry permit on the 90 days visa and then return new year and apply for extension?

If so is there any min or max time I can spend out of country?

Trying to work out the timing.๐Ÿ˜

3. Can extension be applied for at Jomtien if initial 90 days elsewhere?

Thanks in advance
Answer summary
The requester, an Australian expat, is seeking guidance on the process of obtaining a 90-day Non-O visa in Thailand, including the challenges of banking season requirements for a subsequent extension and re-entry permits. Key concerns include the possibility of applying for the 90-day visa at an immigration office (IO) other than Jomtien, determining how early they can apply for an extension before their visa expires, and whether a re-entry permit can be organized during their absence from the country.

You are correct Jomtien requires the 800K baht banked money to be seasoned for the initial 90 day Non-O visa application

You need to LIVE in the area where you apply and you need to be there thru the 90 day Non-O visa process AND the year extension process <- you have to get the year at the same office where you get the 90 day Non-O issued.

You can apply for the year extension when you have 30 days or less at most immigration offices (Bangkok, Chiang Mai and a few others allow you to do it when you have 45 days or less)

You can get a re-entry permit once the 90 day Non-O visa is issued BUT remember, it's only valid for that 90 days, so you'd have to get back by the expiration date so you could apply for the year extension.

Nope, just be here on or before the date the visa expires to apply for the extension

Nope it cannot. I answered that earlier..

Good luck with it,

Why not come here like you plan get the bank account, get the money in then on your trip and while you're there get a 90 day Non-O visa.

Arrive get stamped in for 90 days then get the extension

@Tod ********
does the 90 day clock start on the first visit for non O application receiving the "under consideration" stamp, or on the second visit 2 weeks later?

Also trying to sort out timing as I have a potential trip. Thx.
