@Tod ********

Circling back to this thread and hoping Tod can help once again.

Earlier in this thread, you stated that a person can apply for a non-immigrant O visa from in-country, if you have 21 days on your current entry stamp. To clarify, my 2 children and I want to get dependent visas based on my husband’s work visa.

The same advisors are telling me again that I cannot apply for a non-O dependent visa from inside Thailand, no matter how many days I have left on my current entry stamp.

Can you point me towards documentation that states definitively that I can or can’t? Do I need to have a tourist visa to do this, or will a tourist visa exemption be sufficient? Is there a website? A handout at the immigration office?

But no matter. I understand what to do now, so all’s well.

Thanks for all your advice. I’m going to take to take it from here and not rely on another office for assistance. Much appreciated.

And. Wait.

We can apply for non-O from inside Thailand? I asked if that was possible and was told no. Aaauuuugh.

So, having never done a bounce before, where would you recommend? What do I need to bring? Just passport and proof of exiting flight on March 5?

@Tod ********

Self-inflicted in that I’ve stupidly kept trusting the advice of people who are supposed to be helping us.

Interestingly, in all of our many visits to the immigration office, nobody has ever told me there was a handout or checklist. I would have greatly appreciated that.

3-turning-4 and 7.

@Robert ******

I understand. Ok, thank you again.

Thank you for all your information.

Sorry for this rather basic question, but what exactly is an Extension of Stay? I thought we’d be issued an entirely new visa. Are you saying we’ll keep the visa we have, but get some sort of stamp that will allow us to stay beyond the 90-day visa’s expiration?
