Just been refused my first non O visa on the basis the 800k has not matured for 60 days prior.
Am i wrong but i was lead to believe or the first non O it didnt have to, only for the non O extension for a year based on retirement.
I was advised by the officer (very arsey) that i need to extend my current tr60 by the allowed 30 days and then get a covid extension (covid extension by 25th july i know)
Edit, Chonburi office
Tr60 runs out 17th july, then apply for extension, so within a week apply for covid extension?.
Does this seem right?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user was refused a Non-O visa due to not having the 800k THB in their account for 60 days prior, despite believing it was not required for initial applications. Other users commented that the requirement applies more strictly for extensions and that there is generally no seasoning requirement for the first Non-O visa. Suggestions include applying for a COVID extension and reapplying for the visa after fulfilling the requirements.
