What to do after my 2nd year of my non-oa visa. I am a us citizen living in Thailand almost 2 years now. What do I do next? I have a thai bank account but not really wanting to move all my money to Thailand. I get reimbursed for all atm fees so I keep most of my money in the US.
Do I need to leave and come back in? Start a non o? Are there any other options? Not going back to the US any time soon. Thanks in advance for any advice.
TLDR : Answer Summary
As a US citizen living in Thailand on a NON-O visa for nearly two years, you have a few options for extending your stay. You can apply for a new NON-O visa either by leaving Thailand and re-entering on a visa-exempt basis or by satisfying the bank balance requirement of 800,000 THB. If you consider future residency, switching to a marriage visa (if applicable) may offer benefits and lower financial requirements, as marriage visas allow for work and could lead to permanent residency. You may also have the option of applying for a wealthy pensioner LTR visa if you meet the financial criteria.
