When should I do my border run for my Non-O visa expiring in July?
I have a 1-year multiple entry Non-O visa based on marriage to my Thai wife that I purchased in Australia which expires in July.
I have searched how to get 15 months on this page but came up with many different answers and as I'm in a wheelchair and really need a correct answer as travelling around isn't easy.
So my question is if it expires next month the 2nd of July when should I do my border run to Sawannaket to get the 15 months out of my visa and are the Immi agents at Mukdahan okay with us doing this ? Rather be sure 😊 Tia

If you have a NON O visa, and you have 400,000 in the bank go to immigration and get a 1 year extension.
NO need to leave country!!

Yeah but that method is painful. Your wife has to take a day off work, immigration wants to see pictures of every room in your house invading your privacy then they even come for a visit. I hear they even interview neighbors, which can be embarrassing if you don't know them (except in the villages, Thais normally keep to themselves). Then you have the 90 day reporting.With the 12 month non O you have none of that drama.
Ok you do have to either leave every 90 days or get a 60 day visit wife extension. It works out for most who aren't too old and don't like traveling and if you live reasonably close to a land border its far less painful to cross a border than dealing with immigration in country.

OPOr over 50k per month as my Disability Pension qualifies me aswell, without 400k in bank

OPI was told by many on this group that I could get 15 months out of my 12 month visa which is why I asked the question to get the correct answer.

@Richard ********
How? He needs 60 days of having 400K in his bank account so he'd need to apply 60 days before. Else they'll reject the application.Graham ******

OP@Richard ********

@Graham *****
I know and understand> BUT as i stated there is no requirement he needs get 15 months< he can apply for the 1 year extension when the visa is down to its last 30 days of validity and save the hassle of doing a border run
Graham ******
@Richard ********
Yes he does for his multiple-entry Non-O which requires him to leave every 90 days to re-enter (he's not on a 12m extension but a 12m visa, not the same)

I just wonder why do you need a border bounce?
I have renewed my Marriage Visa without getting out the country. Do you not meet the requirements needed?

You can go to any border crossing, leave and re-enter before or on the 2nd July and you'll be stamped in for another 90 days, you can also get a 60 days visit Thai dependents extention taking you up to around 17 months from that visa.
Graham ******
You do a border bounce just before the expiry date in July to get stamped in for another 90 days
