TLDR : Answer Summary
A 90-day Non-O visa cannot be extended by 30 days; however, you can re-enter Thailand for 90 days on a Non-O visa if you have a multiple entry visa or apply for a new single entry Non-O visa each time. If you have a legal Thai family, you may apply for a 60-day family visit extension, which can be done only once per visa at most offices.

No. No 30-day extension is available for Non-O visa entry. You can repeat entering Thailand for 90 days on Non-O visa, as long as you have a multiple entry visa OR you apply for a single entry Non-O visa every time before you enter Thailand.

You may be able to apply for a 60-day family visit extension (once per visa at most offices) if you have a legal Thai family.

, a bit off track. Did you check if your embassy in Thailand issues an affidavit for income? US, UK, and AU (and some more) don't anymore, but many countries still do. If you can get an affidavit, you can use it instead of funds in a bank account.

i mean you're out nothing by trying it, get a single entry Non-O come in and go talk to them about getting 3 more (as you'd need to be on that Non-O for 12 months to cover the transfers.

OR

Email your thai consulate, say you travel a lot, need the year multi-Non-O and see if they can do it (I heard they do it on a case by case basis even though you can't select multi-entry from the eVisa drop down choices)

, basically yes. You need to check with the embassy/consulate where you apply for your visa if they have any limit on that.

@William *******
what are you trying to do? Why would you get THREE single entry Non-O visas ?

if you have a visa based on married to a Thai woman you need only 400k

Honestly I don't know if that will work. because you are "breaking" your stay on each 90 day Non-O visa to go get another one.

Now if I was a betting man I'd bet they won't allow it at the immigration office ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

BUT

that is between you and the immigration office you deal with.

I sure would GO and talk to them about it BEFORE you got 3 Non-O visas, transferred in 9 months of 65K baht a month and then find out it won't work
