I'm assuming that is from a list of required documents for a 1 year extension? I never got one of those. I started extending in November, 2018. I learned what to bring from the Thai visa advice FB group.

I did submit a hand drawn map but I'm not sure what a receipt would be. I paid my monthly condo rent with a transfer from my Thai bank. The bank statement would be my evidence.

Whatever . . . if they are different then they are different. I stand corrected.

Interesting. I have an LTR now. My last OA extension was Oct 2022. Like I said, always brought, it never asked. I’ve never heard the requirements to be different.

🍧You are extending your O as married or retired?

@Andy ***********
except for the requirement of an insurance certificate the 1 year extension of an O and OA are identical. Same requirement and rules.

I extended my OA 5x at Bangkok. I always brought my lease but was never ask for it.

The OA is a 1 year multi entry visa. The O is a 90 day visa. When the visas expire you then extend them (not renew) 1 year at a time.

👍 and I did Invisalign 15 years ago. You won’t regret it.

A little clarity on the medical route. It doesn’t have to be a serious medical issue. Time to sign up for Invisalign with your dentist.

Yeah, they are not going to like you not having 6 months on your passport. The best case is that they will only stamp you in until the end of you passport so you won't get a full year extension.

I have an LTR visa. Normally they would have given me a stamp for 5 years out but my passport was to expire before that. They only stamped me in until the end of my passport. I did get a new passport and they transferred the visa and updated the end date of my permission to stay stamp.

Condos are already furnished. I did buy a sofa at IKEA once. I, of course, bought all the furniture for my house.

Unless it is a sentimental heirloom I would not be shipping furniture. I’ve yet to hear someone who did ship furniture say it was a good idea.
