I agree, regular Non O and extension of stay could be a good options as Canadians still get a affidavit letter and don’t need to deposit the required 800K baht if you can meet the monthly income of 65K baht.

Canadians still get an affidavit letter if they can meet the required 65K baht a month.

That’s not a visa extension, but a whole new product called “Extension of Stay”, which basically is a a permission to continue your stay in Thailand, -not a visa. We’ll put a point here anyway, because that’s not OP’s question.

@Stuart ********

I partly agree, but it’s still a good option if you want three entries. I don’t say you can’t get a third one, but a METV feels safer than a gamble.

I guess it only has to be visa exemption. You can’t extend any visas, only apply for a new one, but he probably has extended his stay with a border bounce and another visa exemption.

You probably did a border bounce to Cambodia to get another 60 days visa exemption. You can’t get a re-entry permit on a visa exemption, so you’ll only get another 60 days visa exemption when you re-enter from the US.

If this is your third entry on visa exemption within a short period of time, I personally would have considered to get a visa while I was back in the states.

No, ETA is postponed.

Sorry for asking, but why don’t you just apply for a Non O visa before you go to Thailand?

It’s as simple as anything, just fill out the form electronically, upload your passport ID-page, take a photo and apply. You’ll probably have it in some days.

If you’re passed 50 years and have funds, have you considered to simply just apply for a Non O visa and extension of stay only based on this requirement?

If you’re applying based on the soft power options as muay Thai boxing you’ll need to get approved by a gym that can provide you the required documentation first.

Non immigrant visa is excused from onward ticket requirement.
