First of all, there's no such thing as an exit visa. There's a re-entry permit, which you would need to purchase if you don't want your permission to stay stamp in your passport to become invalid when you leave Thailand.

A re-entry permit does not give you any extra time. When you leave, the date on your permission to stay stamp remains the same, and you would need to be back before it expires in order to apply for an extension.

So if you arrive in February with a 90-day non-O visa, your entry stamp will give you permission to stay until May. If you leave between February and May with a re-entry permit, you would still need to be back by May to apply for your extension or your stamp will expire.

You can either apply for another non-O when you're on your trip, and then wait 45-60 days after arriving again in June to apply for the 1-year extension. Or you can arrive the second time as a tourist using visa exempt, and then apply to convert to non-O visa at your immigration office since you'll already have a funded bank account.

Visa on arrival is where you apply for and pay for a 15 day visa at the airport. You do not even qualify for that, so I assume that's not what you're asking about.

You're likely asking about visa exempt, which isn't any visa at all. It means you're exempt from needing a visa and will receive a 60 day free entry stamp.

It's currently 60 days and has been since July 2024. No one can tell you what the future holds, but it doesn't matter that much as you could just apply for a tourist visa online if you need 60 days, or apply for a 30 day extension at the immigration office.

If you are talking about 100% legit, then no, you must attend in person. An agent can assist you, and get you to the front of the line etc, but you must attend in person and have your photo taken. Any other method involves the agent using their connections to get an extension through abnormal means.

Unless an agent is just walking you to immigration, they will take your passport and return it after the process is over with your stamps inside.

Every immigration office in Thailand has their own policies. The only place to get the true information will be the immigration office in your province. The information from any other office may not be applicable to you.

Most embassies want 3 months of statements, but only the most recent one must show the required amount.

There's no maximum number of days. You can leave and return same day if you want.

I don't know if the office at Central Festival does CoR. I've gotten one myself at the airport office, so I know they do it there.

I'm not completely sure of what your question is.

Every "main" immigration office can provide all immigration services. Branch/Secondary offices do not always offer the same level of service as the main office in a province, if that province even has any secondary offices.

The main office near the airport can do everything.

You are talking about a residence certificate. Yes Chiang Mai immigration at the airport offers residence certificates. These do not tell banks they can open accounts for you. They just verify your address, and say that the purpose is for opening a bank account if that's the reason you request it. Whether a bank opens an account for you or not is up to the manager and staff of any branch that you visit.

If you convert to non-O visa in Thailand, you will receive the stamp immediately in your passport. You will not need to leave Thailand.

Any re-entry permit purchased is only valid for as long as the permission stamp you buy it for. So if you purchase a re-entry permit now, it will only be valid until December 23rd. No point in purchasing multiple
