yep

yesss if I wanted ext. but I have submitted my paperwork for NonO, so hopefully that comes through soon so that I can be one step closer to asking for my first one year extension. I believe I can start that application two months after I have NonO.

I came to Thailand on 6 month multiple entry visa. I just have to leave every two months but no worries about coming back in and I could even probably stretch the two months with ext if I wanted

I am super hard of hearing even in English so I can relate

@David *******

hehe. Best of luck whichever path you choose to pursue.

@David *******

the 12 month requires you start with 3 month nonO and then put 800k thb in Thai bank for at least two months and then you apply for 1 year extension of your 3 month nonO but still have to keep the 800k thb in the bank for another 3 months and then can only reduce the balance to 400k thb. If you decide to apply for another 1 year extension, you would have to have the 800k thb back in the bank two months prior to applying etc. I am not an expert though and there are other ways to get the 1 year extension to a 3 month NonO but this is the path I have started last month. However, I did come in on a 6 month tourist visa that allows me to stay 60 days at a time which has helped with the process.

hehe I can relate. With my hearing loss, Uk and Australians and New Zealand accents kill me.

hehe I was a teacher and with my hearing loss I think it was a blessing I did not always hear what students said about me 555
