How can I extend my Non Immigrant OA visa in Thailand, and what are the requirements?
Today I have extended my Non Immigrant OA for a further 12 months in Chiang Mai. I am Australian. I used the letter of income I obtained in November last year in which I declared income obtained by me from commercial loans made to a company / business in Australia, together with a letter from the borrower confirming the terms of the loan and the repayments made to me.
No Bank Documents or other evidence relating to any money’s coming from outside Thailand was asked for. The whole process took less than 30 minutes including waiting time.

Did you get an extension of stay for twelve months, is that what you mean.
Your letter of income would still be valid, they are good for six months. My understanding is Australia is one of the four embassies that no longer gives out letters of income, so you will have to plan for next year. Either ฿800,000 in a Thai Bank, or ฿65,000 deposited into your Thai Bank every month, not an average, but ฿65,000 every month.
