@Paul *******

the question being, "where is your Thai entry stamp?"

Yeah they are a bit shady there at Nong Khai. The lady who takes your money, passport, and hands you the arrival card. USD notes are cheaper, buy them in baht on the north side of that same building, very very fair exchange rate.

Visa fee 40USD, 1700 THB is $52+

@Andrew *******

Excuse me. You're deadass wrong. There are 2 tourist class visas, 3 if you count the DTV, 4 if you count VOA. You'll find most all of them on the Thai evisa website under the classification tourist visa. A Non Imm class visa, especially an OA (retirement/age 50+) is not a tourist visa classification, it's a long stay visa with yearly extensions. Stop with your fairy tale.

I've included pictures, sorry, ran out of crayons.

Your application location, stamp, and travel story is as convoluted as your ability to comprehend the consulate request. Get your ducks and stamps in a row.

Anonymous participant how long was the course? It's like pulling teeth to get complete info from you.

Anonymous participant you aren't giving the nitty gritty, was it 3 months statement with 500K minimum balance for each of the 3 months?

Anonymous participant this is likely the reason barring any other insufficient documents. Minimum 6 month course is recommended. You say "the site said", what site? Which gym and what is their DTV approval success rate?

Without details on your submission no one can give you any real help. So, please lay out everything you submitted, course details and provider, bank balance, account type details, statement length. Rejections are typically insufficient documents.

Typically US consulates are okay with 500k ending balance. Send the 2 month of statements you have along with a brief cover letter pointing out/highlight the pension deposits.

Was the non O you bought based on marriage or being over 50? Because you can't change the reason till your second extension comes due.
