I did ...but my reply was perhaps a prompt to revisit that option as non imm o (not oa which they may have considered) ...my view being ...best option Tod
Non imm o with retirement extensions ...easy and flexible and gives range of options for visits ...the fact the visa is for 12 month extensions is kinda irrelevant ...
you will need 800,000 baht in a thai bank account for several months prior to applying for your 1 year extension on your 3 month non o visa obtained in the uk
they check thru luggae yes, but thought had to exit domestic and go thru intenational security departures ...where the desk is for rebentry permit. Will have to try it sometime ...not done for years!!! 😘
