What terminology did I use wrong? I never once mentioned the word extension. I said exemption.

@Kool ******

That is rubbish. You can obtain a Non O in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry.

That's why they have TM86 and TM87 forms for. To obtain Non O from tourist visa (TM86) or from Visa Exempt entry (TM87)

@Kool ******

this is not for an extension it's to convert an exemption stamp to a non-0 single entry visa

@Kool ******

is this for samut prakan? do I also need to show my rental agreement?

@Gary *******

I know but I thought I'd ask here to save me a trip, it's a bit of a trek.

@Steve ******

Yes, I heard they want more proof other than a passport to show that you reside at an address there, a document with your address on. And showing I have £1000 entering my bank every would be difficult because I get paid in THB and EUR entering two bank accounts that are not British. So hopefully they will be okay with only accepting the 400k savings. This is my concern.

@Steve ******

can you tell me if they would accept a UK driver's license as proof of residency. Even though none of my family reside at that address anymore. Also will they accept 400k in a Thai bank account in my name as proof of funds?

@Steve ******

ahhh just you never know what you need with the Thai embassy in the UK.

Go inside the bank and withdraw from there.

you can check at your local immigration office whether they will be able to convert an exemption stamp to a non-o based on having family members working in Thailand. I think it's possible. It will save you a lot of hassle with going to Laos and making appointments at embassies.
