Why resort to being rude? I just lost my interest in a post from a rude person…

Or the Azerbaijan embassy in Cape Town… 🤣🤣🤣

@Doug *******

My bad. You’re right. You can’t not do non-o while in Thailand because the purpose of the visa is to enter the country.

You can, however, get an in-country extension of stay. E.g. based on marriage or based on retirement; they are for one year. Or shorter extensions for other reasons. (I don’t know them all by heart)

@Andrew *******

You can do an in-country application for a non-O visa, but it requires you stay in Thailand from the application until the issue of the visa.

You are not allowed to cross the Thai border during a non-O application process.

@Andrew *******

Here’s the explanation of the Thai e-visa system for Netherlands:

IMPORTANT:

Thai Visa is for entering Thailand. It is therefore issued to those who are outside of Thailand and will visit Thailand. Therefore, your visa application will be rejected if you are already in Thailand during the visa process.

Royal Thai Embassy, The Hague, has the authority to provide visa service only to those who are in the Netherlands for the entire visa process. Therefore, your visa application will be rejected if you are outside of the Netherlands.

@Andrew *******

No, you can’t. You are not allowed to enter Thailand during the processing of a non-O.

You might get away with it but it’s entirely illegal.

He only sends to people who are perfect and never in their life made mistakes.

Unfortunately you don’t qualify. 🤣

@Pete *********

Not really very weird. I have also once paid using the wrong account. Nothing special with “accidentally sent”.

That mistake should have taught you to keep your hands off the seasoning account

.

You could talk to immigration about this and if they give trouble point out that you haven’t seen a rule that the money must be in a single account.

Also, for the future, put more than 400k in the account, because banks will deduct their fees and it will happen at the most inconvenient moment.

Last but not least, while still on your 90 day non-O stay, getting a 60 day extension is the easiest way to proceed.

@Rene *******

It’s like the Dutch “kruiden” for cooking. In this case it refers to getting the bank ready by depositing money for the required time.
