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.

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 🤦‍♂️🤣

@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.
