yes. I’m trying to tell you that’s not entirely true! Different places, different reqs, mine required a proof of residence. I know this as at about the same time I also needed one for a DL (can’t reuse them) and the people I rent from were too dense to complete there own TM30 requirements so the whole process was like pulling teeth. In turn fairly hard to forget. 😉

I think you’ve had enough feedback to show you are not understanding and/or combining information wrongfully.
Follow the OA instruction from your most local embassy. Mine was in LA. Those instructions got me a non OA.
Oh, when you do apply, put your name as it appears on your passport. I got dinged for that and literally needed to pay to apply again (because gosh forbid editing a single field value is so hard 🙄).

3 proper US addresses to keep creditors and the like from shutting down accounts.
Something not always seen is atm use in Thailand accumulates quite a bit. I would suggest having an account like Charles Schwab that refunds atm fees and works everywhere. Right now the fee is ~$6 per transaction. So, that adds up. 👍
I think you misunderstood my intention and fair enough I did not exactly say ‘infinite renewal’ which was what was meant. And indefinite is an entirely different word. 😉
But thanks for helping the clarification for others. 👍
