English version of website says suspended, Thai version says make a booking, I don't know if I go the Thai route if they will allow me because I'm a foreigner.
Okay gotcha, I heard in Penang though, they initially give you an SE Non-o (despite applying for the ME) then after an extension and return trip back they will issue you with a year long valid Non-o. So looks like I'm going to have to do that. Or might I not have to if I already have had a year long Non-O already issued based on marriage from another consulate, would they grant me a ME initially?
You don't need money in the bank, just the tambien baan and birth cert. But bring supporting docs just in case. You only get 90 days with this, not multi entry.
