Also to avoid confusion at the airport you are not getting a Visa on Arrival so don’t follow those signs.

You’ll get a free 60 day visa exempt stamp from any of the “foreign passports” desks.

OX is an incredibly rare visa to get. Probably because of the 3m baht stipulation. Prior to all embassies going online you almost only ever seen it from the Sydney consulate as they were the only ones that would sell it with funds in a local bank account.

Since switching to online there are almost no posts about it, which suggests it’s incredibly rare to get

You can certainly use a Non O once a year. It’s up to the embassy that issues it as to whether they’d do it multiple times but no real reason why the shouldn’t.

Visa exempt entries back to back or after an extension will certainly raise red flags.

All visa applications are online. You need to be in the country you are applying at.

You don’t go to an embassy anymore (apart from Laos and Cambodia to pay) unless asked for an interview.

No idea where you read that. For the DTV you need cash in a bank account.

Yes. Most visas are valid for 90 days from issue.

On entry you’ll get stamped in for the number of days the visa allows.

Coming from the US you would get a visa exempt entry for 60 days. You can extend that once at a local immigration office for a further 30 days.

Not correct. The Non O whether applied for prior to coming or in country does not require health insurance.

A Non OA visa (only available in your home country or legal residence) requires health insurance and so would extensions from it.
