How do I refresh my Non-O visa in Thailand through a border bounce?

David ********

Can you be asked to produce any of the 3 of's upon re-entry for this type of visa ? 20k cash, proof of residence or onward ticket ? Can immigration insist you spend at least one night out of the country ? Heard some Thai/Malay border points can be "difficult" if they want to make a point

Can I obtain a Thai Non-O marriage visa from Savannakhet without showing bank details?

David ********

That's the one and if you do a border bounce just before the visa expiry date you get a full 90 days which effectively gets you almost fifteen months

What documents are needed to cancel an extension of stay in Thailand due to being over 50?

David ********

Are you legally required to cancel it ? Surely if you leave without a re-entry permit that immediately cancels it on exit. Or if there is even a remote chance of returning buy a single re-entry permit for 1000 baht , if you come back before expiry - no visa required. If you don't it runs its allotted time and expires naturally
