Even with a $250 refundable fee plus $185 for a 10-year visa, that’s incredibly cheap compared to Thailand.
On June 1st I paid $80 for a 90-day Non-O from the Thai embassy (wrong date on the passport), had to repay it—so $160. After three months I had to leave to Laos and re-enter, wasting $300+. Then I just did a family extension for another $60.
All together, for just 7 months in Thailand, I wasted days of my life and over $600 on immigration. Over ten years, Thailand is easily 20–30x more expensive.
Yet Thailand = good and America = bad? 😂
