I plan to apply for the Non O from the US for 3 month stay. Want 6 months total in Thailand so can I leave and apply again for another 3months non O from perhaps Malaysia?

Thanks

Re: non O: just coming as a tourist, now that the 60 day visa exempt plan may revert back to 30 days, is this the best visa for coming to Thailand without trying to extend for a year?

I used this method when one could use an affidavit for proof of income before COVID (US citizen).

I have the annual income and an active BKK Bank account for over a decade but don’t want to transfer my monthly Social Security to Thailand as I don’t plan to live year-round but visit for 6 months or so as a base, traveling in and out.

I am in my home country (US) currently and would not be coming to Thailand until September or October. I left in CM in December.

In 2005 I maxed out the 6 months allowed including one extension, using the Visa exempt option.

I was in and out as a base but spent months in Malaysia, Taiwan and Europe between visits. Would like to continue this option.

Thanks for your input as I see many informative posts that update my general knowledge of the changes that frequently occur.

Just want to say advice on this platform is helpful in many ways.

Appreciate information from others who have gone through the process: whatever question is asked.

Currently I was in KL filling out TDAC first time: NO RED ASTERISK BY THE ONWARD TICKET FIELD. Verified by travel agent I use in CM: “not required.“

At some point in the future this may be activated, but now for use with exit flight info; if available. TDAC has a “revise form” option if flight data changes. They do match real tickets info.

I have had a Bangkok Bank acct since 2017 and send money to cover my rent and electricity for a studio I rent by the year but only come to CM as a tourist now.

Does this affect me if you know? I am not in Thailand now but will be visiting soon.

Thanks if you can advise me.

Non o visa Thailand

I have never needed one from Thailand coming or going, but in Singapore two years ago, I was forced to buy a return ticket to Singapore.  The attendant at the airport claimed that was a rule.

I chose a cheap SCOOT ticket and after landing in Thailand canceled that return ticket.

No problem.
