Hello all...I will using the "affidit of income" method from my embassy, New Zealand, to apply for the Non O visa while here in Thailand...would someone here be able to show me a sample of the wording that Thai Immigration has accepted for another member here in the past...redacted of course 😀

Thanks much, much appreciated...

Cheers, James

Looking at where to apply, New Zealand is the most expensive Embassy to apply at in the world - four times all other countries at 42,000 Baht / 2000NZD

Out of interest anyone here applied in NZ or did you fly out and choose an embassy in person approach?

Hi Kiwis,

Just spoke with NZ Embassy in BKK. Call them and they will send a request form, when returned they will assess your situation then issue you with a letter for Immigration to extend past the 60 days. I know I know it completely depends on Thai immigration centre, what day it is and if the officer has had a good lunch or not but at least there is hope there.
