I’m not sure where I stated “categorically” that you were wrong. I said that CURRENTLY, one can apply for a non-O through the consulate. I specifically said that I don’t know what was the case in 2004 (actually, I said “a decade”, because you said you tried again “years”, with no specificity, later) and that there was no way to really check that at this point. You seem sensitive.

There is no Thai embassy in LA. There’s a consulate. You would have no problem now. There’s no telling what the issue may have been a decade ago. I applied for two non-O visas in the U.S. last year (the second because my passport was stolen and I was given bad advice by the Thai embassy in Japan 😂). I proved funds in the U.S. then needed to show the transferred funds when I applied for my extension.

“Got another 18 for free” 😂 Love the attitude.

don’t you need the house book too? I’m thinking of doing that in the future…just easier.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Immigration doesn’t know when you arrived at your condo, only when your lease started. You may have been traveling in another province and in a hotel. As long as you have it, don’t worry about when it was filed. As others have said, it wasn’t your error.

You’re placing your friends’ actions and policies onto someone else? I have friends (actually, most of them) who don’t live in Asia. Does that mean you don’t?

@Jason *******

you do know this is a visa advice group, right? All the advice here could be obtained elsewhere for a fee.

@Lu ***

what part of “if you have nothing nice to say don't bother speaking.” did you not understand? Are you really this desperate for attention? Did those likes and hahas fulfill you?

@Pertti ************

the date is then the expiration of the extension of stay...same thing. I don’t know why you feel this desperate need to bicker. Meanwhile , if you didn’t know, why did you argue about it in the first place?
