15 years yet you don't know the difference between a Non-O and a Non-OA, 15 years and you think the requirements are the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

If you really believe an extension of stay is an extension of your visa or that the Non-O and Non-OA are the same you really should go talk to some of the group experts like Jan or Brandon, or better yet... Go have a conversation with immigration

@Andy ***********

ohhh, yet again here you are completely ignoring everything I've said... You are obviously one of those with the reading comprehension of sliced bread... You do you though matey, you clearly know everything there is to know.

P.s It's fucking hilarious your 2 or 3 years here has given you soooo much knowledge and experience in everything immigration wise that you're so knowledgeable that when it comes to discerning the difference between the visas and their requirements for extension isnt required or the difference between a visa and permission for extension of stay 🤦‍♂️🤣

@Andy ***********

Firstly it's only "doesn't get much simpler" when you give zero context and only base the information you're sharing on what you have been able to do with the visa YOu arrived on... secondly a visa and extension of permission of stay are two entirely different things, you cannot extend a visa.

And again if you arrive in country on a 90 day NON-O (NOT A NON-OA) your only options are 800k, an income affidavit from YOUR embassy or using an agent, the only except to this is if you already have a bank account that you have continued to transfer 65k+ into for over a year (however the vast majority 97%+ are unable or haven't done this, so its a moot point). If you convert to a NON-O in country again your options are the same.

Flatout claiming "it doesn't get much simpler" while negating and ignoring all information and variables is a fallacy at best, and completely delusional at worst...

Are you on a Non-O or non-OA? Terminology is important to get the correct information.

If you're in your first year of a non-OA you don't need anything. If you're on a non-O or you have gotten a 1 year extension on your Non-OA at immigration in thailand you need a re-entry permit.

@Peter *********

this is a massive problem in both the Thai visa groups. A lot of people either have the reading comprehension of sliced bread or just give a half arsed answer based with zero context or useful information, then get snobby or pissy when someone comes in with actual context and information that can be utilised by everyone. (I give

@An**

props though for not getting pissy or snobby)

@Andy ***********

because you were on a non-oa which is one year not 90 days. If you arrive with a non-o (not a non-oa) or apply in country for the conversion your only choices are an income affidavit or 800k transfer for the first year.

@Dave ********

you can't use this method for your first extension as you are from the US and the US embassy do not give income affidavits anymore., Ypu will need to deposit 800k for the first extension. After that extension so long as you've deposited a minimum of 65k per month every month, on your second extension you can utalise the deposit method. (If you get a non-oa which will require 1 year of insurance you will not need an extension for the first year and you can apply the second year utilising the 65k method so long as you meet the requirements and haven't missed a transfer)

The income regardless of 65k p/m or 800k has to show on the bank statement that it is an international transfer. Doesn't matter what bank or whom sent it, so long as it shows on your Thai bank statement it was an international transfer.

@Andy ***********

if you can't get an income affidavit from your embassy, you can only use the deposit of 65k method after your first extension (utilising the 800k method).

@Cole ********

that's not actually an embassy website, that's a legal company who bought the URL and has made the website to look like it's embassy official.

@Arn***

by your age you really shouldn't still have the reading comprehension of toddler 🤦‍♂️
