that is the OLD rule long before they changed it when the first yearly extension needed 60 days seasoning and every year after that required 3 months

That rule was changed YEARS ago but some offices continue to parrot it and until someone actually calls them on the carpet and makes them admit that they are not right, that the seasoning is 2 months before every extension people will just follow what their office says 🙁

@Alan ******
the real question IS do you now have an OA visa/extension or are you applying cold for a new Non-O and year from free stamp entry?

The ONLY exception to the "banked money for new Non-O and first year" rule I've ever seen is people who were getting OFF their OA visa/extensions and getting new Non-O in country <- That's when the office has bent and allowed 12 months of monthly income for the initial Non-O and first year

@Scott *******
and you did your one year LTR reporting at your local office? What office was this?

That sadly is on YOU not them, 🙁

and

if you stuck to your guns told them you wanted to see the print out stating 3 months before I'm sure they'd back down and accept the real rule on seasoning which is 2 months before you apply.

okay I deleted the snarky and off topic comments

As people pointed out
@Sandra *****
your daughter needs to have the PDF print out of the DTV (as that paper IS her visa), the police report stating she lost the other passport and the new passport

When she arrives she'll get stamped in on the new passport for a new 180 day entry stamp

She's fine and far from the first person this has happened to.

Best of luck to her, safe travels

check with the immigration office you're going to be applying for the Visa at and see what they say.

@Alan ******
check with your immigration office long before you decide to try to do it

They are under no obligation to accept it

@David ****************
So you have an LTR visa but didn't do your year check in at the LTR office? You did it at your local office?

That had to be a comedy of errors seeing as immigrations doesn't fool with LTR's as they're run by the BOI 🙁

@Stuart ********
Phuket allows extension applications when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp don't they?
