don't worry. You have an extension based on an Non -O- visa plus an multiple re-entry permit till your extension will finish. Don't forget to reapply for a new extension well in time with all requirements.

@Tod ********

, good advise . I would leave and return before O-A visa is finished with new 3 month insurance policy.

@Stuart ********

Qatar airways have some offers starting from 6.9.

@Darren ******

you should give up. Some people simple not able to understand what they do read. It's clearly written everywhere on the RTE's webpages worldwide.

@Bobby *******

yep, Indeed.

Lucky you. 🤗

@Bobby *******

Oh, really!? I have to check. On my checklist from RTE Berlin it says all 14 eligible country's have to deposit in a TH bank.

If your Aussie RTE told you different, you're lucky ...🤗

@Bobby *******

RTE in Germany also offers that OX option. Yes, worth thinking about that one.

@Bobby *******

I also preferred O-A before and insurance I got my German one which supplied all necessary signed docs for my O-A visa and I will keep that one even it's not mandatory for O visa.

I also know immigration could be a pain in the a ..

Nevertheless , COVID teached me it's not that bad to do all the visa stuff inside the country.

I will change from O-A to O.

@Bobby *******

you have to make sure you also have insurance for the "2nd year" of stay stamped in when you bounce shortly before your O-A visa finished.

If you extend O-A visa inside Thailand you will get O-extension and that will be always based on the original O-A visa, means you will also need insurance.

I will now change my O-A visa into O visa ( without insurance requirements )

by leaving the country when my "2nd year" is finished and apply outside for O visa and doing extension inside and now this will be based on an O visa.

@Tod ********

ok. Thanks. 😉
