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
John ********
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 ...
John ********
The visa in the old passport is valid and is restamped in the new passport by immigration i believe

@Tara ******
if you prefill the downloaded form and have a photo takes 5-10 minutes, if need do form and photo there about 30

The counter is after international security checks

Re entry permits require filling in the relevant form plus a photo.

On phangan they charge 1500 baht and send to samui with a 1 week turnaround.

Best bet when at Suvarnabhumi airport if you fly from there get there ...available
