Noel Holman yea if you use an agent then you can even get all of that on a visa exemption stay within Thailand. Then you get both Non-O 90-days and 12 month extension together 15 months

Graham Seal that’s exactly what I said

If you apply at a Thai Embassy/Consulate then your annual visa is called Non-OA and you need all of that, whereas if applied in Thailand Non-O doesn’t require it and it’s an annual extension of Non-O 90-days visa that you can get in Australia with less requirements.

If left without canceling then he’s leaving with a “left” history, but nothing except that. It doesn’t really build any “bad” credit. Visa will be canceled automatically on his leave.

You’ll be okay, no penalty or blacklist for a 4 year old.

Jim Davis outdated.

Nope.

Todd McGowan yes, but 5 years ago or in Pattaya only

Brook Powers true that, you can open a bank account on a 90-days non-o visa in order to fulfil requirements for a 12 months extension.

Greg Alexander thank you for your input but you read it wrongly. Please read my initial comment and next ones as well. Yes you can get a Thai bank account when you come on a non-o 90 days, then extend your stay for a year. However, you can’t get a “non-o” in a home country to live here. You can get only 90 days, then extend within Thailand for a year. This is what I was saying, you read it wrong.
