But why did they issue a non o-a for only three months is a good question

To get that second year you have to exit and reenter before the actual visa is expired.

No they wont because your visa is already expired at 19th october this year and you won't get anymore stamps out of it. You can keep your current stamp alive with reentry permits, but you will not get any longer stay than you already have on it now.

It just cost a fair bit more to get now.. But it is roughly the same as the old one.

@Tod ********

maybe that's the case. They did say they would have accepted it for extending based on over 50 though. But the amount was to small per transfer. But being Danish (from Denmark) he could not get that notary letter. As mentioned they do make an alternative one now. And that was accepted.

Btw they did not make a home visit this year for me and my wife. They did that the previous couple of years.

From personal experience, better ask your local immigration office, unless you are going to one of the big ones that the admins on this page knows, if they will accept it this way or not, even though it is indeed allowed by the law/rules.

My father had his rejected with bank papers showing way past 40k a month for 12 months of international transfers.

He is probably going to have to get a police report on his lost passport.

There is no such thing as a non O-A marriage visa. Do you you have a non O based on marriage, or do you have a non O-A based on being over 50?

It's a long process, not easy to obtain, and will cost you some hundreds of thousands of baht. But anyhow it starts in your local immigration.
