I understand that you need to have proof of residence in the country where you are (say Vietnam) to get a Thai Non immigrant o visa at a Thai embassy in that country. Do you know of a way a person flying in and out to achieve that?

Thanks for that heads up. My extension expires on August 30th. 29 days away.

Thanks for that.

The management at my serviced apartment in Chiang Man, refused to give me a TM-30, but gave me a printed personal letter, signature and all, stating I am a resident there. With that letter she included the second page of the TM-30 with my name printed on it. Will this work for me when I return to immigration next month to apply for my non-immigrant O, on my way toward a retirement visa? I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.
