@Wannikea ********

really? Are you stating that he does not need to apply for another 12 month extension of stay to start again November 20, 2025?

It is my understanding that he will get stamped in up to his current visa extension date subject to have the required insurance through that period.

Multi-entry simply means one can exit and enter multiple times during the extension period without purchasing separate exit stamps each time. TM-47 reporting is reset to 90 days at each reentry.

Buriram immigration charged me 500 baht for the ‘certificate of residence’

@Brandon ***********

Yes, and if you go to get a ‘certificate of residence’ ask them to state in the certificate it is for the purpose of opening a bank account.

@Dror ********

5555 after 3 visits to Kbank with no resolution and no information like they told you. I will just use the other banks I have in Thailand.

Now the focus will be on moving money out of Kbank and into a different bank. I have no interest in dealing with this stupidity.

@Dror ********

No, the branch did not tell me anything about calling the call center. I find most CSR’s in the bank here have no idea what their employers policies are.

@Dror ********

did the Photo photo update at my Bangkok branch - no change

Ridiculous find another agent or better yet do it yourself

first lets talk banking.

-Did you have foreign deposited 800k baht in a bank 2 months before applying for your first 12 month extension. Or did and agent arrange the money in the bank for you?

-Did you keep the 800k baht in the bank for the 3 months after the extension was granted. And no less then 400k for months 4 through month 10 and bring back up to 800k for months 11 and 12?

-can you show a minimum of 65k baht foreign deposits in a Thai bank each and every of the 12 months. (I did this in a separate bank account to keep things clean and organized for Thai immigration)

If you ate planning to renew on the basis of 65k baht per month deposits you will need a letter from the bank certifying that the 12 deposits came from your home country. And also 12 month statement certified by the bank the day you are going to immigration to apply for the renewal.

Note: I maintained both bank method in case the 65k method did not work for some reason.

If you are extending a non-o then you do not need proof of insurance. Only the non-oa and non-ox require insurance.

- do you have a lease, proof of permanent residence.

- done the required TM-30’s and TM-47’s

If all of this is true then I would recommend you do it yourself. It is not that complicated and I found the immigration officers to be helpful.

The on thing I forgot was they want a hand drawn map of directions to your home. So I had to do it on the fly when at immigration

Hope this is helpful

Same thing for me. Was higher before and I was instructed to come in and verify biographic (take a photo). Made no difference

agree 100%, I have been here three years but if I was starting today this is exactly what I would do.

I would apply for the NON-O visa and not the NON-OA visa which has additional requirements.
