Assistance, please.

I have a 1yr M/E Non-Imm O visa that expires on the 5th November. I will do a border run on the 4th for the 'bonus' 3 months = (15 months).

I read this comment from Tod. '"There is no need to do 90 day border runs with an O visa and a year extension either."

Other than described in the first para. what are my alternatives?

Thanks for your help - you provide a fine service for free.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has a 1-year M/E Non-Imm O visa expiring soon and plans a border run for a bonus 3 months. They seek alternatives to the border run method, particularly in light of a comment they read suggesting that 90-day border runs may not be necessary. Community responses indicate that options include applying for a 1-year Extension of Stay if eligible or applying for a new 1-year visa from abroad.

you can do the border run on the 4th to get a new 90 day period of stay. i have no clue about the small part of a discussion copied and paste above. Your alternatives are: Or apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay if you can meet the requirements or apply abroad for a new 1 year Visa.
