Thread: What day am I entitled to stay until?

went for a visa run last month on my Non Imm O Multiple expecting to get an admitted until date of the end of the visa (1 year from 1st entry??).
Actually I got 3 months on the stamp which I thought was a bonus but now I'm paranoid as I have been here for a year doing holidays/visa runs every 2-3 months. 5 trips in total.

Non Imm O Issued 27/Mar/2011
Non Imm O Enter before 28/Mar/2012
Stamp entry 26/Feb/2012
Stamp exit 25/May/2012

If I stay until 25 May I will have stayed 14 months on the Non Imm O visa, Is that OK?

Cheers for any advice if you have done similar.

Yes, and if you were smart, you'd have done an exit/entry on 27th March to get 89 days extra.

My understanding is that your original "O" visa is good up to the expiration date for traveling back into Thailand. Once you receive the 3 month stamp at the border, you can stay until the date on the stamp. This means if you work it right, you will be able to stay in Thailand after the expiraton of the original "O".

If I am incorrect, I would like to know since I will be doing the same.

^Thanks Marmite, that is the way I see it as well.

True- what I am learning is that if u go on the last day of your existing visa, u gat another 90 days= a 15 month stamp.

Thanks MTD, Thats what I thought but it's nice to get it confirmed before I do a 2 month overstay!
Next time I'll plan it right to get the full 15 months

Dog, if you know, what are the requirements for a non-0? Thanks

Ralph, when I did mine in Singapore last year they had a checklist online to print off with the docs needed, I'll try to find the link when I have time.

Found it, it says 400K in the bank but I have seen rumours online with 800K

Personally I would print this page and take it with me and show 400K

Non-Immigrant Visa-O (Thai Spouse) | Royal Thai Embassy

Ok, the 800K is for 50+ year olds wanting a long stay (retirement visa) going by the Singapore website

Non-Immigrant Visa-O-A (Long Stay) | Royal Thai Embassy

Thanks Chong Boy. I appreciate it.

it depends on your situation

If you have a Thai wife, and the relevant papers, then your home consulate will give you an Non"O" imm for a year without any money in the bank

easy, pay about $160 US

^ My understanding is that if you have a Thai wife, you do need to show 400,000 either in the bank or yearly income or a combination of the two. Have I misread the regs?

You can also get a Type O one year if u have a Thai child and ur the father and have the court order to prove it

Got an O visa from the Thai Embassy in the States and only needed to show a birth certificate with my name as the father. I also sent a copy of my son's passport as further proof. Is a court order really needed, or will other substantiating evidence be enough?

Dr. Andy, Can I go to any Thai consulant and get the non-o like maybe Panang with no money in the bank? I can get a letter saying I receive the 400,000 per month. Is that along with the other documentation enough?
