the other option for me would be to use my girlfriend's house address (her parents house actually; she currently lives there) in Mukdahan. I'm not sure what the implications of that approach would be on the Non-O 90 visa application process

@Benjamin *****

fingers crossed 🤞 until I have a long term stamp, I'm having problems finding a condo complex that will allow me to sign a lease.

@Ellie ******

that seems to conflict with what Benjamin Hayes indicated above in the initial response to my question

@Ellie ******

I'm in a hotel. There is no copy of a lease to provide

@Benjamin *****

my apologies

@Tod ********

thank you for the reply. I'm based in Bangkok and had planned on going to chaengwattana immigration on 8 Nov for the Non-O 90 visa. My current VER entry stamp expires 28 Nov. It would be less stressful, I think, to have more of a time cushion by first getting the 30 day extension at muang thong thani immigration. I just don't want to run into any issues if getting the 30 extension first then returning for the Non-O 90 visa later is problematic. Thoughts?

thank you! 😁

@Benjamin *****

thank you! You are correct, I entered 30 Oct on a 30 day visa exempt (Visa Exempt Rules, a.k.a, VER). Just to be clear, I don't need to meet the 2 month seasoning requirement as part of the Non-O 90 visa application, but do need to meet the seasoning requirement for a one year extension of stay application? Therefore there is no reason to apply for a 30 day extension prior to purchasing the Non-O 90 visa. Correct?
