Correct.

@Dirk *************

Depends on the length of visa you are given. Generally they will given you a 90 day Non O Visa that you have to extend in Thailand for 12 months.

I don't apply at Embassies. I applied for my Non O and Retirement extension and renew my Retirement extension every year in Thailand. I have lived in Thailand for 20 years. lol. Keep trying.

FYI.......

A "Non-O" visa in Thailand can be obtained with a multiple-entry option, allowing the holder to enter and exit the country multiple times within the validity period of the visa, which is typically one year, with each stay permitted for up to 90 days per entry; however, to get a multiple-entry Non-O visa, you need to apply specifically for it and may need to provide additional documentation like proof of sufficient funds or a marriage certificate to a Thai citizen depending on the reason for your visit.

Key points about a multiple-entry Non-O visa:

Validity: Typically valid for one year from the date of issuance.

Stay duration per entry: Up to 90 days per entry.

Application process: Requires applying specifically for a multiple-entry visa at a Thai embassy or consulate.

Who may qualify: People who are married to a Thai citizen, family members of a Thai national, or those seeking to enter Thailand for specific purposes like medical treatment or volunteering.

When applying at a Thai Embassy outside of Thailand, you would receive the Non Immigrant O Visa which would be valid for 3 months, Single Entry.

After arrival in Thailand, you apply for the extension based on Marriage, Retirement etc at Thai Immigration.

Every year thereafter you apply to renew the extension of your visa.

Get paid into Australian bank account and withdraw by atm when you are in Thailand. Don't use 3rd party services like Wise. Wise reports to Thai Govt. Then you will have no issues.

Get a quote to repair sofa and tell her to keep that amount of the bond. That is what would be required as a tennant after only 2 years renting.

I have a Non O Visa + Multiple entry with Retirement extension (there is no such thing as a Retirement Visa). I have had this for 8 or 9 years. I renew every year in Thailand.
