Depends which border. Nong Khai - Vientiane is ok, but several borderpoint demands one or two nights out for foreigner’s bouncing on their own now. Easier to go to your local immigration and apply for a 30 days extension. Bring passport with copy of ID-page and last stamps, a pass photo, receipt of your TM.30 if asked for, you apply on a TM.7 form at the immigration and pay 1900 baht in cash.

Ok thanks for your reply. All embassies/consulate goes online now. I don’t have a complete overview but I know HMCH Vietnam is known to be easy.

Personally I would have considered to use a land border transport company to bounce me for a 60 days visa exemption if you’re entitled and applied for a Non O through an agent because of your previous history. I mean by the rules and no bypass of formal requirements, only as a help with the process.

At least I speak one more language than you.

Your just a troll entering with a new fresh profile. Probably thrown out previously.

@Jack *******

There are always someone who don't like it when others have better knowledge than themselves. Relax, it’s just a well known primitive reaction of the human race.

@Jack *******

This was all you could contribute with. Not everyone is aware of this option, so in several cases an important piece of information that many have been happy to receive.

@Dena *******

Where du you currently stay? Just want to check out the requirements at the embassy that serves you.

This is two alternative separate options or requirements to qualify for a one year Non O-A so it should work very well that one provides documentation of income a the other one funds.

If you want to stay for a year you can apply for a one year Non O-A visa at home with proof of income/pension equal to 65K baht a month or funds equal to 800K baht.

For the Non O-A visa you’ll need a mandatory health insurance covering minimum 100K USD, a health certificate and a police check up as well.

@Jurgen *******

Most convenient to apply for a 90 days initial Non O visa online through the embassy/consulate that serves your current location now. You can apply only with income/pension if you fulfill the required 65K baht a month OR funds equal to 800K baht. I don’t know your nationality, but you have a typical German, Austrian or Swiss name. If that do correspond with your passport remember you can apply for the one year extension of stay in Thailand only with a affidavit letter from your embassy in Bangkok (or consulate) confirming your income equal to minimum 65K baht a month. You therefore don’t need to prove any funds in a Thaibank now or in the future.

Just one question first, what kind of visa/stay are u currently on?
