no. I am over 50 years old though. So I know I can get a retirement visa also. They just seem like a lot more work than some of the other visas.

So a total of 75 days. With a maximum two times per year? I guess it probably doesn’t matter that much, since it looks like you can only do this for the next six months.

Easy enough!

And for my three teenage daughters I would assume I would just get 90 day visa is for each one of them, correct?

And to get a one year stamp on my original visa can be done by doing a simple visa run to the border, correct? I don’t have to leave the country for set period of time, correct?

Wow! You just cleared up all lotta confusion for me. I would assume the extensions are only for one year and not for the two-year, correct?

Ok, thanks. Then one year after the Visa expires, I will need to apply for an extension, correct? And I can do that in Thailand or at the consulate in Chicago? What scenario do you need to have the money in a Thai bank, as opposed to a US bank?

Do I get multiple one year stamps if I come and go from Thailand several times during year 1 of the visa?

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology when I say "renew". So when my O-A visa expires, I don't "Renew" the visa, but I apply for an extension?

I like the sound of that. What scenario do you need to have the money in a Thai bank? If you renew that visa in Thailand?
