1900 baht now!

@Kevin ******

that was a time when using an agent was well worth it. Coping with covid issues was bad enough.

Make sure your tm30 is up to date as that will cause rejection if your address registered does not match up with the address you put on the application. If you have stayed away in a hotel etc then your tm30 will not be up to date.

That is where I went wrong some time ago.

you don't need health insurance for the non O visa 90 day or the 12 month extension. You would be wise to have it though and I am with WR Life. Check it out here.

that is exactly what they are trying to do.

Its easy enough to install a vpn on on a firestick .I use bitdefender and had to Google how to install it. Works with Netflix and most other things I use for most of the time.

@John *******

the non o is for 90 days then you extend for 12 months. Some agents get them both together which gives 15 months but the next extension will be 12 months.

I was not expressing an opinion but, as I said, in my experience most of what you have said is not correct. It is a fact that I have accomplished exactly what you say is not possible.

@Ally ***********

mostly complete nonsense based on my personal experience.

@Jim *******

well that is not my experience at all. I used an agent twice during covid as I could not go home and did not trust the covid extension being continued. Once I got access to 0 baht and put it in my Thai bank I had no issues getting the third stamp issued at my local IO. No checks were made other than I had the 0 in the bank for 3 months prior to application. (I know it should be 2 but they insisted on 3). As I was two days short I had to go back the following week and all was fine.
