ORIGINAL POSTERHello,
I would appreciate anyone sharing their experience working with the THAI VISA CENTER to obtain a non-o visa. I am presently in Thailand on my 30 day tourist extension. I do not want to fly all the way back to my home country (USA), but would be happy to fly to any S.E. Asia location that has a Thai embassy that will allow me to apply for a non-o. Thank you for any thoughts you care to share.

You can apply for a Non-O in any of the neighbouring countries, check the Embassy websites for their requirements [hint, if possible choose a country where you don't need a visa to enter if possible to keep costs down]

I understand that you need to have proof of residence in the country where you are (say Vietnam) to get a Thai Non immigrant o visa at a Thai embassy in that country. Do you know of a way a person flying in and out to achieve that?Graham ******

In my view your better doing it yourself if you can meet the criteria. Pop to your local immigration office and ask them for their requirements

offer excellent service. You’ll need to speak with them (do so via the Line app) about time frames. You may not have enough days left to convert.
