@Tim ********
, I went to my own embassy in Bangkok, to certify my degree.

I had the documents to submit for my last visa. They didn’t request my certified copy, only the regular photocopies were needed.

, no. It’s needed for the conversion of xxx visa to Non=B.

I got mine certified, went to Penang, where it wasn’t necessary and not even looked at.

My experience:

Changing visas to Non-B at immigration = degree certified Needed

Getting a Non=B at an Embassy or Consulate = Not needed (Penang, in my case)

YMMV

Jack Laos, ouch. I believe you.

But, Why? Did you have checked bags? Was it a low cost carrier?

If all you want is to catch your flight, you can fly in to the correct airport (BKK or DMK) and stay in the secure transit area, without a visa.

You can stay in transit for 12 hours, by law (longer, in reality).

You can cancel in advance, if you have the letter from the school.

If you’re a woman, no financial requirement. (Answering the question) 😛

@David *********
, sound like you’re all set.

I’m in a similar situation. Having lived in Thailand for too many years, I’ve just left for work in another country. Over 50, I’m just going to make my visits using the Non-O with my time off.
