Update. Our insurance we have for our visas does not cover the $50,000 USD it just falls short so we have to buy another one to cover up to the end of our visa
we went to Hua Hin lawyers at Makro to get it translated into thai but I cannot remember what it cost. Through the Australian embassy in Bangkok we had it certified. And again it was awhile ago and I can’t remember the cost
My husband and I are Australian and moved here 3 years ago (best move ever). We got a Non OA from Sydney which was multiple entry, near the end of the 2 months we went to Vietnam so then stamped in for another 12 months. You can go onto the Thai Immigration site for Sydney and it has the form and a list of the required documents. We now have a Non O visa, I piggyback on my husbands so only he has to have the insurance and 800,000 THB in the bank. It’s actually quite easy to do.
we haven't been there yet to find out. We are going on Monday as we've been busy today. I'll let you know what they say. I was just making sure it didn't have to be within 24 hours
