@Bruce ********

you've pretty much answered your own question...

You've a short memory. Did you pass the test in the end...?

@Debbie *********

yes, however your airline may require you to have a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days, before they will let you board the plane leaving Canada.

Normally satisfied with a cheap fully refundable ticket to Laos, Malaysia etc which you then cancel after arriving in Thailand.

Opening the bank account is the biggest hurdle if not on a non imm visa.

Consider the 90 day non-oa from Canada, open a bank account, get things ready etc... Then on your return to Thailand apply for a non-o (no mandatory insurance required) and then extend that annually. No need to leave again.

@Dawn *******

the ongoing compulsory insurance is why many people choose the non-o rather than the non-oa.

If your airline carrier requires a 'ticket out' within 30 days, you can book a cheap fully refundable flight to wherever outside of Thailand and cancel it on your arrival

For most offices you need 15+ days remaining on your stamp to be able to submit your non-o application. Otherwise, you will have to leave and come back.

Don't forget, you'd get 30 days here (extendable +30 more) visa exempt and then another 30+30 on your reentry after Japan. Perhaps you don't need the 60 day visa.

Sounds like they do and are confident their tm30 is in the system and the IO can find it easily with the info they gave you

Likely to depend on which province and immigration office you are using. Some want proof, others don't.
