What are the current options for obtaining a Non-O Visa in Thailand following the recent changes?

So to re-cap the myriad of choices

has

1 - get 90 day single entry Non-O visa online from the thai consulate in their country

** come in get 90 days, take one 60 day visit family extension

2 - get 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa online from the thai consulate in their country

** come in get 60 days, take one 30 day extension, exit/re-enter get another 60 days, take one 30 day extension repeat

3 - get NO visa, come in free stamp 60 days, take a 30 day extension, bounce out/back get a new 60 day free stamp entry, take a 30 day extension repeat

4 - get the 5 year DTV <multi-entry Destination Thailand Visa online from the thai consulate in their country

** every time you enter for the next 5 years you get stamped in for 180 days

Those are your choices 🙂 Thanx one and all for the suggestions

None of the rules about extensions have changed

You just can't get a year-long multi-entry Non-O visa anymore from a consulate via the eVisa website

So you get a 90 day single entry Non-O come here, get stamped in for 90 days, and you can either extend that one time for 60 days based on visiting thai family at your local immigration office for 1900baht, OR you can apply for a year extension based on marriage by showing 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name for 2 months before you apply

Those are your two choices to 'extend' a 90 day Non-O visa now.

Another option is getting a 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa. That visa is valid for 6 months from the date it's issued, each entry is for 60 days, you can get one 30 day extension for 1900baht on each entry, when that runs out you exit/re-enter thailand to get a new 60 day entry stamp.

Another option is seeing as free stamp (visa exempt entry) is for 60 days and you can get a 30 day extension on it too, you could come free stamp, stay 60+30, then bounce out and back to get a new free stamp 60 day entry (which you could extend 30 more days if you wanted to)

You definitely have options to stay the time you want to, you just can't get a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa anymore
