That depends on your last day on the termination letter, not the current stamp or when you cancel your extension.

You cannot stay longer than that day.

You need a termination letter from your school to cancel your extension based on studying, not the first 90-day stamp from the Non-ED visa. That letter has your last date.

When you apply for the cancellation in advance, the last day you can stay will be that date.

When you apply for it on the last day, you must leave within that day, on or before 23:59.

, that true for dual-citizenship, and that foreigner has to have Thai national ID if I understand right.

Do you mean foreign passport holders who have a Thai parent(s), but no Thai ID?

If that is the case,

If you have proof of relationship with a Thai parent(s) like a birth certificate, you might be able to apply for 1-year extension based on "In the case of a person whose father or mother is or was of Thai nationality, returning to his/her original homeland".

to open a bank account, you need only small amount, the minimum amount depends on the bank.

Unfortunately, opening bank account is out of the scope of this group. For details about that, post on other expats groups related to the province you want to live in.

Q. I heard the immigration at airport may not accept it unless its stamped in passport?

-> As you got your visa on the eVisa system, the PDF is proof you have a visa. Bring a PDF printout (as on paper) and a copy of your insurance policy every time you enter Thailand. Show the PDF to the office at passport control.

Q. Second question is regarding extending it every year and what needs to be done when I do.

You can get almost up to two years of stay from your Non-OA if you bounce with a new insurance policy at the end of your current Non-OA validity. (If you have a valid entry stamp after your Non-OA expires, you need to get a re-entry permit to travel out and back on that stamp)

When your last entry stamp runs out, about 30 days before, you go to the local immigration office bringing all necessary documents to apply for a 1-year extension. The extension is a stamp on your passport.

Check the latest requirements for an extension based on retirement at the local immigration office 3-4 months (because to cover the period of seasoning funds) in advance of your planned application day.

You have to do a 90-day report when you stay in Thailand for a consecutive 90 days. You bring your passport and TM30 receipt (at most offices) to do that for the first time after entry. then you can do it online.

@David *******
, there are several Non-Imm visas. Requirements depend on the types (Non-O, Non-B, Non-ED, etc) of visa or reason for Non-O. Major Non-O visas are based on: Married to a Thai, retirement, raising a Thai child.

No, you heard wrong or lost in translation.

Because 1. there is no tourist visa available inside Thailand. 2. There is no 90-day tourist visa if you mean being approved (stamped) for 90 days stay at once.

You MIGHT be confusing tourist visas with some types of Non-immigrant visas for 90 days that can be applied at the local immigration office if you meet the requirements.

, it took me about 15 minutes last time at Suvarnabhumi even I was only one to apply for re-entry permit at that time (no applicant there before or after me). I had everything (filled form, photo), pay official fee only, the officer even didn't mention service fee.
