If you are planning to live here I would get a single non O and extended for 12 months, better than leaving ever 90 days which is a pain in the ass plus expensive
My local office at Pathum Thani immigration only want to see the bank book at the time when applying for the extension. When I return after 30 day's to get my final stamp no bank book is need... different immigration offices different rules.
SETV in vientiane laos thai consulate they have will only allow 2 back to back SETV. The good old days have long gone where you can live in Thailand on back to back SETV
in the immigration rule book. There are no limit on the 30 waver when flying into Thailand. BUT !!!! It's up to the immigration at the desk if they are will to let you into Thailand.
Well said Tod, visa issues can be a minefield every Immigration office have it's own rules and regulations sometimes it's bloody impossible to answer every question correctly..
