thanks very much for the info!

@Tod ********

regarding visa history, I have a few years worth of OA then O extensions which I allowed to expire oct 1 - then left and returned via air and am currently here on a visa exempt, which I’ll extend, and then leave again. My plan is to return a week later, get another visa exempt and apply for an O visa, 800k in an account seasoned by then etc..

I’m hoping there won’t be an issue with the IO at the airport seeing all my previous Thai visas including the recent visa exempt stamp. Is there a rule I’m not aware of?

@Robert ******

great thanks! O visa good until oct 1.

I’m on an O visa now and Bkk immigration has never asked for this. Different immigration offices DO handle things differently and I’m just posting what’s been my experience in bkk to be helpful.

This hasn’t been my experience at Bangkok immigration. They’ve never asked for an updated bank book at 90 day check ins. I understand different offices have different requirements.

Will get the O visa this oct 1 and go back to the US and get an OA next oct ‘22.

@Benjamin *****

yep getting my O visa this October but I would like to jump back to the O-A - and not have to maintain my 800k bank balance here for the next 3 months😄

@Tod ********

thanks for the info, I’d be applying for the O-A in LA October of next year, maybe they will have dropped the covid ins requirement by then!

Thanks for the info! Would love to get back to an O-A😄

Got my answer thnx!
