VOA is 15 days. You buy it at airport when you enter. But only certain countries do that. You've probably entered without a visa, on the 60 days exempt. Can go to immigration and extend it for 30 days.

I've already got a bank account to put the money in. So I was advised to arrive exempt, get the Non O in country then extend on retirement basis.

What visa are you trying to get? What passport and what embassy.

@Matthew ******
the question was about NZ. The cost of visa there is huge so not a good idea.

@Matthew ******
it's what's been suggested. Because applying in NZ is apparently very expensive.

@Matthew ******
they can enter without a visa, apply to get the Non Imm O in Thailand. Then do retirement option.

good point, of course if their embassy issues the income affidavit. Their agent who's handling this should be giving them all the info.

You can't use the income method in first year. ( Or does your embassy give the affidavit?) Surely you've chosen an agent who has told you what you're paying them to do.
