Uk passport, but you probably need to use approximately 40 USD at most border to get a visa on arrival. But you’ve got free visa exemption for Malaysia.

Yes because several people entering on a Non O-A visa and do extensions after a while decide to cancel their stay and re-enter from scratch on a regular Non O visa.

You should be aware of if you base your stay on a Non O-A visa and want to apply for an extension of stay in Thailand which most people on a long term stay do, you’ll also need to prove 800K baht the first year and you also maintain a mandatory Thai health insurance requirement for all your future.

Non O-A is a good visa for shorter periods or if you renew it every second year, but for more permanent stay the regular Non O visa without any mandatory health insurance requirements are more convenient.

The most suitable visa is probably to apply for a 90 days Non O visa at home before you leave and do yearly extensions of stay in Thailand with multiple re-entry permit. Then you can come and go as you like as long as your back each year to apply for a new extension.

You don’t need to update your TM.30 at Jomtien immigration if you re-enter to the same address with a Non O-A visa or an extension of stay. (Based on a Non O for retirement).

an airline can and still controls if the passengers fulfill the requirements in their visa.

Some embassies/consulates issues -as an example the in Norwegian Thai embassy- Tourist visa without any onward ticket at all and some altså with onward ticket within 90 days. The formal requirements anyway is an onward ticket within the initial days you get stamped in for in the immigration.

Onward ticket are a formal requirement for tourist entries, rarely checked in the immigration but they ask from time to time. Because it’s a formal requirement and the airlines can be fined and responsible for the passengers return if formal requirements aren’t fulfilled they normally will be more strict regarding this requirement. But the point here was requirements and e-visa.

You print out the e-visa received as a PDF file and hand it over in the immigration. Only Non Immigrant and long stay visa are excused onward ticket requirements.
