that’s what I got when the visa above ran out at the end of a year and attempted to extend thinking I was on a non O dependent. I was allowed in for 90 days each entry, at the end of the last 90 days I’d attempt to renew and Id get an extra month.

So at the end of the 90 days I’m basically getting what I’d get if I came in on a tourist visa at the airport?

@Benjamin *****

sorry for taking up so much of your time. Just trying to understand how it all works.

@Benjamin *****

these are the other 2. Are they the same?

@Tod ********

I am totally confused on this as well. I have 3 of these stamps in my passport and each coincides with the final 90 days (the fourth entry x three months) on the type of visa above non O “s” (so the older visas say)I haven’t entered with a tourist visa since 2015. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Tod ********

fabulous we shall try again. It’s only taken 8 years. Thank you 😊

@Robert ******

oh Lordy we went with what we were told at the embassy at the time, the OA was what (obviously erroneously) we were led to believe was the “retirement”/ over 50 visa. Thank you 🙏🏼

@Benjamin *****

we’d rather not have to bring in 800x2. I have no idea what others are doing different re the trailing spouse? Have been doing this for 8 years now and every time the consulate here gives me that same visa (most frustrating), thank you both for your time and patience.

@Robert ******

thank you. He applied for the first non OA in HK where we were based and funds are, but the Embassy there said we’d have to go back to Oz which is where our passports are from. Verifying funds OS for the Thai consulate in Oz required a lawyer having to certify each page (JP not accepted)and all had to be “legally bound” $$$ So as he already has the funds for last year’s renewal sitting there the requirements are pretty much what he’d have to have for an extension. Lots of photocopies -his bank book, the bank letter, his passport
