Just got denied non "O" thai children yearly extension because I switched from 400k method to monthly 40k transfers but my nationality (CAN) required an affidavit from embassy and even if i quickly transfered 400k now, would not work because money has to be seasoned one month. Now, with too litle time left, I was suggested by immigration in Chaengwattana to get out of Thailand and come right back in again without a visa (30 day stamp exempt). In that 30 days, once i transfer back 400k in bank (no seasoning), go back at immigration to change it to a 90 day non "O" (tm.87). And after the 90 days are up, back to yearly extension again usine 400k method. Anyone ever did this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user faced a denial of their non-O Thai children's yearly extension due to a change in bank transfer methods, which no longer met the requirements for sufficient funds. They were advised by immigration to exit and re-enter Thailand using a 30-day visa exemption. During their stay, they plan to transfer 400,000 THB back to their bank and then return to immigration to apply for a 90-day non-O visa before reapplying for the yearly extension.

Yes I have already obtained it on that visa. I wasn't on my first extension also. They just told me to start over again.

Have you already obtained the 60 day family visit extension of stay? IF you have not, apply for it at Thai Immigration office
