What is the process for applying for a Non-O visa at the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet?

AliJames *****

Either they stopped it or you were lucky because I wasn't the only one, I made a post about it last month when I went and many people replied back to say they had also been shafted.

Does a multi-entry visa for Thailand last for one year or does it stop when the stamp ends?

AliJames *****

@Cory *********

yes I am also on the same visa as you, I assume you are unaware that you can stay for almost 17 months on the Non Imm O ME before applying for a new Visa at a Thai Embassy/Consulate, with only 3 border runs and 3 x 60 day extensions

@Cory *********

You can also extend to avoid going every three months. So theoretically you can do it with three extensions and three border bounces

IF like me your last "valid" day on that visa is say for example August 31st 2024, then leave Thailand on August 31st, come back on September 1st, then after 90 days, go to your local immigration office and extend it 30 days (tourist) or 60 (non-o).
