Sorry Ann - I did overlook one glaring fact in my suggestion.... you won't be age 50 until late September. So what I suggested won't work. Pardon me for wasting your time

@Tod ********

- look at the timing - she explained earlier up the thread. And the I/O has already said NO!

@Anne ******

- This Visa used to be issued much more often. But is rarely issued now. Consider this... I/Os put obstacles in your path to elicit "tea money" under the table. As I said, find a Visa Agent... hopefully the agent will not charge more than 15,000 Baht.

I/Os much prefer to deal with agents because they feel large "tea money" payments will be kept totally quiet dealing with Agents.

I suggest this because you have no realistic way to do a Border Run to get another 90 day stay under the Non Imm O Multi-Entry Visa. The Agent may say they cannot do it or they will want to charge a lot more... But if you have some cash - take a chance.

The alternative to wait until this new "Grace Period" sets in means your Non O could / would expire. If you chose to or are pushed to leave Thailand - it could take months and lots of big money to get back in (Covid-19 Insurance, Long Quarantines, plus other expenses).

I suggest you check with a reputable Visa agent. By the way when you say your non Imm O Multi-Entry is based on nothing please explain how / why it was granted in the first place

Anne Soone... Yesterday I was granted a one year Extension of Stay - Extended from my Non Imm. B Multi-Entry Visa (which functions the same as a Non Imm O Multi-Entry Visa in that one must Exit and Reenter Thailand once every 90 days to gain another 90 day stay.

Your question makes little sense

Yes - You are confused - your question proves it

@Alice ********

- I am not surprised at that. However none of my recent comments were about that subject.

@Oliver *******

- We hope

@Sacha ***

- Exactly
