I need to travel outside the country sooner than expected, and I might need to be away for 2+ months. Can I apply for the 1 year extension with multiple re-entry right away? Or, do I need to apply for a single re-entry permit on my current 90 day Non-O? Even though I'd loose a few extra months, I'd prefer to streamline the process if possible.

They didn’t say...I used a couple of extra photos I still had on hand from a Vietnam visa application. They have a white background.

@Tod ********

, will do!

@Tod ********

no problem! Thought it was worth a try to ask. :-) It's been difficult tracking down exact information on what's needed for the Non-O (lots around for the SETV), and as you say it varies from place to place. Will try to be as prepared as possible and hope for the best.

@Tod ********

Thanks! Trying to be as prepared as possible, and to not miss anything. :-) So, I just need the paper I get from the embassy. Also wondering about proof of residence...I currently share an apartment in Thailand with a foreigner, and my name is not on the lease. I can try to get my name added. Would that be the best plan?

@Tod ********

I've seen a few threads mention getting the proof of income affidavit from the US embassy stamped by Thai immigration. Do I need to get this done before bringing the paper to Penang (to apply for the Non-immigrant O visa)?

Cannot thank you enough! Really glad for the help.

Thanks! :-) Will check transport and accommodation costs. That will likely decide which.

I'm in Bangkok now.
