The 400k baht needs to be in your bank account 2 months before you lodge your extension.

yes that is all you need to satisfy the insurance requirements for the OA visa.

Try AXA they have a policy designed specifically for OA visas, a few of my friends use them.

@Ian *******

well she can’t prove that can she. As I said it is very hard now to get a visa, all you can do is try again at a future date, good luck.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine recently, the reason for denial will be outlined in the decision letter. I understand now it is very difficult, but if you can rectify the reason while it was denied you can apply again. My friend is reapplying now.

I think she is right as you don’t meet the requirements immigration will need to show you can support here stay in the UK, paperwork is king when applying for any type of visa.

no you didn’t confuse me at all, don’t know why you have to tell me how long you have been here, it’s inconsequential how long, but using the correct terminology helps. But if you are trying to impress me it didn’t work, I have been married to my Thai wife for over 35 years and have been here for decades, so looks like you lost that pissing contest😂😂In future nobody is interested how long you have been here for, if you have been here for as long as you say, you should know the correct terminology by now, which is extremely important when dealing with immigration matters.

Being a US passport holder you have never got a visa on arrival when you enter Thailand, it is a 30 day visa exempt stamp you receive upon arrival in Thailand.

yes it is called a FCD or foreign currency deposit account, most banks offer them

You must pass thru immigration control before midnight on the 3rd, if you fly out at say 2 in the morning no problem, but you must clear immigration before 23:59 hours on the 3rd.
