What hard work?

My non-o was approved and sent 2 days after I entered on 60day exempt. I took a couple of weeks to find housing,, then did border run to activate the non-o. Then jumped through the hoops to get bank account, vehicles and drivers licenses. Was easy. I used a border run company here in hua Hin to bounce in Myanmar.

And do note that you can't touch that 800k for 3 months after extension and it can never fall below 400k after that. 800k must be back 2 months before next extension.

don't forget the required criminal background check for OA.

Didn't like my beard either.

My non-o evisa was approved 2 days after I arrived. No consequences. I spent a couple weeks finding a place to live then used the visa run services in front of Condochain (Hua Hin) to do a border run to Myanmar. Came back and got residency certificate for bank account and drivers licenses. You have up to 60 days to relax and enjoy yourself!

Go to your bank and tell them you are doing your second 1yr extension. They will provide you last 12 months of statements for small fee. Go to bank the same day you go to immigration and make a small deposit or withdrawal so you passbook is updated with current balance.

If you didn't make 12 deposits of ฿65k or more in every calendar month you will need a new affidavit from your embassy about your income.

Apply for the non-o in the US before you go. If you get it before you arrive, great. Otherwise you'll ever in a 60 day exempt entry. Then, when you're evisa is approved, you'll need to exit and reenter to activate it. Down your exempt time looking for housing.

Ready to print. Go to a copy shop. You can email it to them and they then print it for you. About ฿6/page.
