How can I change a Non-O visa to a multi-entry visa if I can't stay in Thailand for the required 60 days?

@Ryan-Kristopher *******

same boat here brother it's not as easy as I was telling you before mate since the new e visa has shafted us all out of the multi entry .....I was even thinking of changing to dtv because it's such a pain in the ass

I am exactly in the same situation. Tod explained it very well. So far i couldn't manage to get the timing right and asking so many times for new E-visa.... It's such a complicated bureaucracy

I think that a problem might be the immigration coming to your residence for the interview..??? Timing wise??

I don't believe you were able to previously change a single entry non-obisa into a multi entry easily.

I think what you could do was buy a year-long, multi-entry, non-ovis from a Thai consulate and then every time you came in during the year it was valid for you got 90 days.

Sadly multi entry visas for non-immigrant type O visa based on marriage were discontinued when the consulates worldwide went to online e-visa system.

You're really going to have to try to get your ducks in a row and your entry exit timed so that you will be able to apply for a year extension inside the country on the 90-day Non-O.

You would get the visa before you come here.

You would come in and get stamped in for 90 days, you would get your 400k in a Thai bank account in your name only,

you would buy a single reentry permit, you would leave and come back whenever you're supposed to and you'll be stamped in for the remainder of that initial 90 days,

when you have your funds in the bank for 2 months and you have 30 days or less left on your current 90-day stamp you could go to the immigration office and apply for a one-year extension based on marriage.

You will get a 30-day under consideration stamp, and buy another reentry permit. So you can exit reenter during the under consideration, and not lose everything you've done.

The timing part is that you have to be back before the under consideration stamp expires so you can get the year extension inked in.

After you got the year extension inked in you would buy a multiple reentry permit which would let you exit and enter the whole year without any issue

That's the only way you're going to pull it off and it's going to take you timing your entries exit and buying a reentry permit every time you need to leave and come back until you get the year extension.

It can be done, I know dozens of rotational workers who have jockeyed the timing and gotten this accomplished but it's going to take you having your ducks in a row to pull it off.
