Nobody said the OP was married to a Thai.

It is not quite clear to me what people mean when they say "legalize" and "legalization" with regard to marijuana in Thailand. My understanding is that marijuana was previous classified as a "narcotic" and now is classified as a "specially controlled drug" As KannikP mentioned, the new classification as specially controlled drug applies only to marijuana with a specific minimum content of THC (tetrahydrocannabiol). I do not know what classification, if any, under the Drugs Act, also know as the Medicines Act, applies to marijuana with a lower than the specified minimum content of THC.

1. Section 4 of the Immigration Act defines the householder (เจ้าบ้าน), in some documents published on the website of the Immigration Bureau also translated as house master, house-master, head of household, owner) as follows: 2. Section 38 of the Immigration Act defines the person obliged to make the notification of the arrival of a foreigner (TM.30) as follows: Immigration offices generally allow in addition also the manager of the Condominium Juristic Person or a rental agent, to whom the owner of the condominium unit has given an apposite Power of Attorney, to make this notification.

That's correct, and this type of extension is generally referred to as retirement extension, which is shorthand for the "extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom for the reason of retirement" for which which an application was submitted with the form TM.7 Confusion and ambiguity has arisen because many people and even the website of the Immigration Bureau erroneously use visa to mean "permission to stay", eg visa extension, and this has resulted in the use of the erroneous derivative "retirement visa" to mean retirement extension. As a result, it is often necessary to ask a poster to ask what he really means. The only true and correct use of "retirement visa" I would consider to be any non-immigrant visa received from a Thai embassy or consulate for the purpose of visiting Thailand for the reason of retirement and the non-immigrant visa issued by an immigration office with TM.86 or TM.87 for the reason of retirement in Thailand

The equivalent of THB 20,000 in any currency in any country should suffice. It did so with my e-visa application.

It looks to me like this stamp was put into your old passport.

OP, I suggest you ask to speak to the chief of your immigration office and seek his advice about your plan to see and experience a lot of Thailand by staying less than a full year in a place at a time.

Removed two off-topic posts and the replies to them.

Does the nationality of the person wishing you open a bank account make a difference? Over the past two years I have seen several posts indicating that US Americans face greater difficulty than other foreigners, because of bureaucratic requirements imposed by the US government that go far beyond the know-your-client rule. Apparently, the Thai government wants these US requirements complied with, eager to get a better ranking in the money laundering index.

Does that letter talk about bank accounts in general or make a distinction between current account and savings account?

It depends on what the Immigration official with whom you are dealing wants when you see him. There is no written rule about it.

I'd appreciate it if you could post a link to these rules. It would be useful when answering future inquiries on this subject.

Moved to Family and Children forum.

Does your "retirement visa" look something like this, of course with different dates?

Are you saying that you are in Thailand at the moment?

The OP mentioned a "90 day note". When another member asked "What note?", the OP posted an abusive reply and thus far has given no explanation. This topic is now closed.

You have done nothing that would result in a fine. Your departure from Thailand without a re-entry permit automatically and formally terminated the permission to stay which you had. The departure stamp in your passport is the formal confirmation of this termination. No other stamp is needed or would have been available to document this.

My advice is, do not tell (threaten) the boss that you are going to seek abvise from the labour department. Just do it.
