Thai immigration turned into bad behavior with $$$ requests to stay in country. Although married with Thai and ….. too complicated to mention. Fed up.

With a non oa multiple entry visa u do not need a re entry permit in your 1st year. I had the same process starting december 2022. 2nd year i need, leaving in 3 weeks.

@Graham *****

yes. Bouncing next​year​ to​ kuala lumpur for

Non o. Current Stamp​ ends​ oct​ 4th, 2024

@James *******

no, 2nd year. Stamp valid Oct. 4th, 2024. I change in 2025 to non o. Suppose incountry non OA requirements r identical to external non OA requirements in EU as my initial were in 2022.

Officer handed out EOS checklist for non oa to be continued in Thailand. $$$, health insurance, plus I don’t understand due to Thai language. For this EOS I don’t need border bounce.

But I wanted to ask & confirm by him that I do need to leave Thailand in case of non OA change to non o. What is still the situation I suppose. However I do continue with EOS non OA requirements 1 year more and then new attempt to talk to this guys here for non o.

Thanks. It was answered by an expat hat yai fb group. Re entry permits can be purchased there close to international departure->immigration counters on 2nd floor

Just fyi, it might be very challenging to get a Thai bank account based on visa exempt or tourist visa. Even with my non OA visa many banks declined as krungthai, Krungsri,.. Only kasikorn in my case and Bangkok bank support this based on my knowledge.

Better you wait for your non o visa from Australia and book the flight a little bit later or flexible ticket to change departure date.

Health insurance Is also valid until October 30th, it’s linked together by Thai consulate. Contracting and payment before october 12th as extension 30th of Oct. plus 1 year. 🙏

@James *******

visa sticker says valid until October 30th 2023, multiple entry non OA. So if I do leave twice Thailand and return from 2nd trip October 12th -> no need any re entry permit correct: ? But visa extension after 12th asap tbdone.
