Michael,I haven't had one in many years either that mentioned it was issued based on having a Thai spouse living in the Kingdom. Just says Non Immigrant O.

It's an easy procedure in Chiang Mai. Worth not being fined.

In the 1990's I did 12 to 13 a year for nearly ten years and was never questioned in Thailand. Returning to the USA it seemed as if I was on the suspected criminal list with frequent interrogations regarding travels.

Meaning that I can avoid my regular upcoming 90 day border run by filing for a 60 day extension of stay now ? Will the extension of stay be 60 days from when I apply for it or 60 days from the date of stay currently in my passport. Visa expires in September. Thank you kindly Tod.

If you're financially independent the elite visa is best for you. It's only Baht 500 k for a five year multi entry visa which is a good deal. That's less then €3k a year !

@Tod ********

Thank you

Tod,I have this visa and leave the Kingdom every 90 days with the next scheduled later this month. Is it possible for me to get a 60 day extension now based on my wife and family ,all Thai subjects,living here instead of leaving. I ask because I'll be leaving in July on business and if I could get a 60 day extension that would save me a trip.

Tod,can one obtain a 60 day extension in lieu existing and returning to the Kingdom every 90 days ?

The last time I needed one I submitted the application on a Friday and it was ready three days later on Monday. No charge.

I've had stamps placed on other pages in my passport where there was room for a stamp. Usually some location to place a stamp even if it touches a few old ones.
