Hi all...Currently here on 12 month longstay O-A. Looking to renew for another 12 months, is the basic application form TM 87?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The correct application form for extending a 12-month longstay O-A visa is TM 7, not TM 87. Additionally, you need to ensure you have at least 800,000 Baht in your bank account for two months prior to applying, and you must have appropriate health insurance in place. It's important to note that you are applying for an extension of stay rather than renewing the visa.

Tm87 is the form for application of an in-country non-immigrant visa after arrival on visa exemption.

As others have mentioned, the form for extension of stay is Tm7

FYI: You're not renewing your OA, that would've, or will be, expired, you're applying for a 1 year 'extention of stay', a slightly different animal!

Make sure you have the 800k in the bank for two months before you actually apply, which can be up to 45 days before expiry date
