I realize that, but last year when I wanted to extend my one year visa (based on her supporting me) while she was away they offered me a month extension and I could come back with my daughter when she returned to renew for another year. This year I do not have the one year just the 3 month visit family.

thai embassy in uk refer to it as ‘visit family visa’

thanks Tod! Helpful advice as usual. I will go and try my luck…..🙏

You don’t look old enough 😀

When they have accepted your documents they tell you by email and they say it takes 5 to 7 working days from then to be processed. Mine took less than three days from acceptance of documents.

@Benjamin *****

Thanks to both of you. Appreciate your help 🙏

Incidentally as a woman I don’t need money seasoned in an account for my non O visa. My interest is in getting a multiple entry non O visa allowing a stay of 90 days. I then can either extend for 60 or (if I am correct?) could leave the country and return in the future using the multiple entry. I’m not sure how to confirm this is indeed possible and what it might entail.

@James *******

Thanks. Easiest and cheapest for me would be a multiple entry non O. But I don’t want to apply for the visa and be rejected if they don’t offer multiple entries. That’s why I’m trying to find out about multiple entry visa. Can you recommend where I might find the answer? The thai embassy in London is almost impossible to get hold of (I have been on hold for hours with no answer several times!) Any pointers?

@James *******

Thanks for trying to answer. My last visa was a single entry non O (on the basis of being an over 50 parent of an adult Thai child to visit her child). It is an uncommon basis for the non-o visa but does exist! I was admitted for 90 days. After that I got a visit family extension of stay for 60 days. I used the visa in Jan 2020.

I’d like to know if I can apply for the same non-O visa but as a MULTIPLE entry? and to know what exactly the multiple entry means. Thanks for your alternative suggestion but, for reasons I will not go into, your suggestion would not work for me.
