Hi all, I've been trying to email the Thai Embassy in Rome for this information but I'm still yet to receive a reply so far after three emails, one per week for the last three weeks I thought I'd try asking my questions here. Some are pretty general and one is specific to the Embassy in Rome. It'll be a long post so I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and advise.

My first question is as a British National who spends most of his time in Libya, around 7 months of the year, and the remainder of his time in Thailand, am I able to apply for my Non O visa in Libya which uses the Rome Embassy due to no Embassy in Libya, if it helps I do have a residence visa in Libya.

My second question is applying for my Non O so I can legally spend as much time as possible in Thailand with my son, would I select the staying with Thai family option?

My Third question which is specific to the Thai Embassy in Rome is has anyone successfully applied for a visa and been accepted without having the money in there accounts for 3 months? I currently have the money but it's only been in my account for 5 weeks.

That's me finished, if you made it to here thanks very much!

Is it 5 consecutive months in Thailand or split between 2 stays?

ok, you're problem might be getting a 12 month extension for a Non-O if you apply and buy a re-entry permit, exit then get back before the Non-O expires to get your 12 months stamped in. Careful planning should allow this though.

Some offices you apply during the last 30 days but hopefully you live in an area where you can apply duriing the last 45 days. You need to get the 45 days really, which Immigration Office is it?

ive spoken to my company to say I may need a little extra time off, I was hoping to apply for the non o here in Libya and then fly into Thailand and apply for the extension, is there a specific time during the 3 months that I can apply for the extension or could I do it on my first day in Thailand?
