It all depends if you're doing it legitimately and what you're studying.

If you're not doing it legitimately, I.e using an agent. Depends on the agent and how much cash you have... Most things are possible with an agent.

However, something you should always remember especially when using an agent

... just because it's possible doesn't mean it's legal, and you not the agent will be the one drawing the short straw every time if an issue should ever arise.

It will reject you when you attempt to scan your passport and you'll get directed to a booth with an IO in

Depends on the immigration office/officer. Some want it printed without exception, others are fine seeing a photo/pdf of it.

there are many ways foreigners can purchase property, no one is disputing that. However there is no legal way for a foreigner to own land without legitimate need through a company and it is heavily regulated on what you can and can't do with that land when it is purchased through a company. Thousands of companies are currently being investigated for circumventing the law to purchase land to build a home, many of those companies have already been fined and had the land and property confiscated by the government for ignoring the regulations and not having legitimate need for said land. Purchasing land through a company to build a home is not and never will be seen as a legitimate need in thai law.

@Paul **********

oh, I was agreeing with you just pointing out the other option. However if it's through a company that's the dumbest possible way. Might as well just give the money to the government at that point 🤣🤣

@Neale ********

even owning a company doesn't give you the right to buy land. The business has to have legitimate need for said land and even if your business has legitimate need for the land its heavily regulated on what you can and cant do with said land, building a home is not part of the "can do", currently over 1000 foreign owned businesses are being investigated for this exact reason.

@David ******

they do... its a 1-10 year ban + fine for overstaying. If you are deported you can be permanently banned from re-entry.

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

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 🤦‍♂️🤣
