@Gary *****

the TDAC is n ot an online visa. It is just your basic information (passport number, name, date of birth, travel date)

@Will ***********

the departure information is NOT mandatory!

@Gary *****

don't believe everything that gets uttered in Facebook

@Jim ******

the police order says that for the application to the "change of visa type"to the 90-days Non-O visa, on Immigration in Thailand, the money must just sit in the account, no seasoning required at this point. Only the Pattaya Immigration will ask for a 2-months seasoning at this point (being Thailand's most corrupt office)

@Jan *****************

sorry, you are confusing the wording! The Non-O doesn't expire at the end of 90 days. A 90-days Non-imm-O visa expires the very moment when you enter! You enter and get a 90-days stay permit stamped. You can apply for the "1-year extension of the stay permit" from up to 30 days before the 90-days stay permit expires. You can apply for the "extension of the stay permit" as soon as your 800,000 THB deposit in your Thai bank account has "seasoned" for 2 months

if your Email adress contains a "-" key, you will get rejected

@Tony ********

maybe he used an Immigration in the South. Many Immigration Offices in the South will refuse to issue a "change of visa type" from a visa-exempt or torusit visa entry. I just had somebody in my visa-advice chat on this topic 25 minutes ago. He was refused a 90-days Non-O despite he had all his ducks in a row, by the Immigration Nakhon Si Thammarat, with reason cited because he entered visa-exempt

@Tony ********

you can do that if you got your ducks in a row. In order to apply for the Non-O incountry, you need a minimum of 15 workdays left on your entry stamp

@Bob *********

how many years ago was that?

@Brandon ***********

then hopefully you can direct Paul Anthony to an agent who is able to open an account for him on his tourist visa. Because only THIS would solve his problem

@Geraldine *************

if you already are on an extension for several years, it's time somebody tells you that you do not have anything that is called "retirement visa". You don't have a visa any more. You just got a "1-year extened stay permit"
