Mine aren't 'technically' back-to-back, I have a 2 month extension between each one ;-) rofl

My 48 page passport is 4yrs old, it is full of Non-Imm O Visa's, & this is the first time I've ever been asked about my bank details, THIS Visa doesn't require it and I told her so ;-)

@James *******

"Upon arrival into Thailand you are given 60 days entry. Then you go to Thai Immigration near you and can extend for added 30 days for 1,900 Thai baht. At end of the 90 days leave and reenter Thailand...stamped in for another 60 days...extend for 30 days. At at end of the second 90 days...leave BEFORE 90 days and REENTER...you are given an added 60 days, which can be extended 30 days. That gives you UP TO 9 months with your METV."

Thanks

The new chief at Nong Khai Immigration Office is starting to 'make his mark' in his new position. You can now ONLY get a Certificate of Residence in Nong Khai if you qualify for a ONE Year Extension of Stay. I have recently experienced this last month
