I renewed my OA 1 year visa yesterday. Immigration officer himself was confused whether to start date from yesterday or from 27th Sept. when he asked his lady supervisor she told to start from yesterday itself not 27th. So you see each immigration office might be taking decision in accordance to their understanding
But new people who wants advise won't know to ask Mod team to re-open the discussion. I suggest it could be kept open for at least for 24 hrs. I too was unhappy tht you closed discussion too early. Moreover you did not let people talk about insurance requirement for OA visa, while health insurance topic is directly related and critical part of visa renewal matter!
For OA visa they need bank pass book proving you have 800k for last two months plus you need health insurance. At the most they will ask for letter from bank ..thats it. This is Thai Govt rule and if you satisfy this 2 condition they cannot deny one year renewal. One yr fee is 1900 THB. There is no any other type of extension required. There is no Exit required for renewal of OA visa.
But with all Airports closed I cannot leave the country, which means I cannot apply for O visa directly! Moreover can I just visit Vietnam come back to Thailand on Tourist visa and apply for O visa or I have to apply for O visa only from the Embassy of my Home Country?
