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. Comments from community members generally supported following the immigration officer's advice.
