I dont think so. I need the Thai Visa in my new passport to get back in.

I doubt Thailand would let me back in with a Non-O in a cancelled passport. But, I'm curious now if Thailand might? Has anyone tried this? I think they would just admit you Visa Exempt and tell you to start the Non-O process anew.

If I controlled Thai immigration the they would no longer be able to use paper copies in support of Visa applications to power the Thai electric generation plants. Almost everything would be computer, biometric and App based.

@David ********
why, because working without a work permit is illegal, and people have been jailed, fined and deported for hanging a photo in their wife’s business?

Get a Non O visa instead of a Non OA Visa.

Instead of choosing from 14 Thai health insurance companies, you’ll be able to choose from any health insurance company in the world, or just self insure. It’s entirely up to you.

They try to make it hard to dissuade you from making extra work for them.

They actually have to write a long report so they try to avoid it

If you insist on using an agent, and I do so because I value my time, just go to immigration and ask the supervisor to give you contact information for three good agents.

The agent will help you open a bank account as well as get a Non O visa.

Don’t pay more than ฿13,000 for the agent, visa AND multi reentry permit per visa.

You will want to have the agent AND the bank account in the same area you live.

95,000-

3,900=

91,100 THB

That is $2,682 USD in profit for $115 in costs. Not a bad margin.

You don’t need anything, but you should have an onward travel ticket and the equivalent of ฿20,000 THB on your person.
