yes, extension of a 90 day O issued by the Thai embassy in your home country, which for me only costs $80 (B2600), so total for 15 months is B, plus 4000 for multiple entry....20,600.

yes, sorry it's a 1 year extension of a 90 day Non Immigrant O visa....it can be renewed annually...grants 1 time duty free import of your possessions and avoids all those other requirements, even the 800,000 in the bank for 3 or 4 months. To me it's not much different than the O-A from the home country embassy, with a lot less hassle.

Visa Agents charge more, because they avoid the money in the bank, criminal background check, Thai health insurance and all those other things. You pay 14,000 baht and 3 days later you have a 1 year non immigrant OA visa. Pay and extra couple thousand and you can add multiple entries. And they also do the stupid 90 day TM30 reporting for you. It's worth it.

Visa exempt is 60 days, you can easily extend that for another 30 days....90 days is the maximum stay. If you want to stay longer, fly out to Singapore in the AM, come back in the afternoon and get another 60 day, repeat, repeat, etc. If you really want to stay long term without all those trips and expenses then you'll need a different type of long term visa.
