My wife and I exited and reentered Thailand by air, visa on arrival 30 days, on 14 February, now preparing to apply for Non 0 retirement, first 90-day Visa. My understanding is that Non 0 has to be applied in Thailand.
My bank has 800k seasoned for 2 months, however my wife has 800k only since 7 January. Will this be a problem applying for the first part of the Non 0.?
Because we did not renew/extend our non OA retirement visas, that was the reason why we flew out. But we didn't want to fly back to the US to this.
We were questioned at DMK entry. They asked why we didn't have a visa. They said next time apply for a Visa before reentering.
Would a land Crossing have been better?
Thank you.
