Did before I posted

Savannakhet, Just got back. Mine 3 Mar-1 May. Requirements list on the consulate website.

@Christine ****

- LOL Again if you would have said that up-front it would have probably changed the answers you got.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just saying give these wonderful people every chance to give you the BEST advice possible, that way YOU have the best chance of being successful.

@Christine ****

You are ahead of the game. That information would have been very helpful to the admins when you 1st posted, I don't think they would have been so pessimistic about your timeline.

But do go to Immigration now, get their hand-out and see what they are willing to tell you in advance.

And again Listen to the guys, they are very smart!

Christine - I have been in and out of the Thai for the last 3 years often. I am now in on a Non-O based on being over 50.

All the Admins on this site have been GREAT, very knowledgeable. I have to say the 2 that are (in my opinion)the best are Tod and Rodger.

From what I read you are currently IN Thai? If so get your "Ducks in a Row" now!

Go to the Immigration Office that you will be working with and get their hand-out Now!

Get your Bank Account Now!

Put the Require money in the Account NOW!

Get your Residence paperwork Now!

I had a difficult Time-Consuming experience getting a Bank Account established. Listen to these Brilliant Admins, follow what they say and Get Everything you can done Now!

@El***

Thanks, keep educating me. LOL So many LITTLE Things, Nuances.

Maybe the post you read was concerning O-A??? I'm not a pro but I do read here a lot. Hopefully the pro's will correct me if I miss speak. If I remember correctly for an O-A you have to "Break" it by leaving the country, that wouldn't apply to your case. Sorry if I miss stepped.
