No. Some offices now require a TM30. Some seem to be leaning towards requiring 12 month bank statement where previously bank book with photocopies was sufficient. As mentioned above...if you are changing from income method to money in the bank you should state that.

Posts re working in Thailand removed. Off topic

Expats living in Thailand on extensions from Non O have zero issues apart from meeting the requirements. By obtaining multi reentry permit they can travel internationally and return to Thailand with zero issues. They do not need to even exit Thailand. They can live ongoing. You bring in off topic comparison to living in Thailand visa exempt. That will become very problematic quickly using trips out of Thailand and return via air to obtain visa exempt stamp. In addition we are seeing changes in border runs. Finally the 60 day is a recent innovation. Could change back to 30. The OP asked about ongoing living in Thailand with extensions from Non O. Not asking about other nonsense.

800k in Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to application for extension and maintained for 3 months after application and not below 400k in other months Naturally immigration check retrospectively back to previous extension to check compliance OP, your other current thread indicates using income method. If changing from income to money in bank method that should be made clear.

Thanks for that. Had read that somewhere previously. This is first year I'm switching to income method from funds in bank method. Extension not till Oct so will check with Kbank options to show as international transfers.

Do whatever you want. Others will continue to obtain 12 bank statement even if that's few days prior to application.

Yes FTT is a BBL code. Folk need to check with their bank after obtaining their 12 month bank statement. If any monthly transfer (for income method) is not shown as from abroad then they will require credit advice. I use Kasikorn. I fully expect some of my WISE transfers would be sent to BBL then as a Thai bank to bank transfer to my Kasikorn a/c

That's not what they want. So leave it there.

OP, since you can obtain a reentry permit to protect your 90 days..... Best option is to enter Thailand with the eVisa and obtain a single reentry permit. Go on the one month trip and upon return to Thailand organize date for the 12 month extension. Keep in mind the extension can be applied for up till expiry of the 90 day stamp.

You typing about ~5 day shortfall? That's no problem. BTW it's only BBL that requires 5 days to provide bank statement. Other banks it's on the spot..

What relevant docs could embassy possibly supply. UK embassy no longer provides income letter.

Searched around various countries eVisa Non O. Here is one on Vienna eVisa site.... "2.1 O Visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issuance. Travellers must enter Thailand within the said 90-day period. They will be allowed to stay in Thailand for a period of up to 90 days, counting from the date of entry. During the 90-day period of stay, if they wish to leave and re-enter Thailand, they are required to apply for a re-entry permit (single or multiple) before departure. If they leave Thailand without a re-entry permit, the current stay permit shall be considered void."

Closed at OP request

OP, first up the issue of obtaining a reentry permit for the 90 day stamp. @scoutman360 asked this in a thread may 2024. His report .... "For those interested, today I got my re-entry permit at CW in Bangkok under a 90 day Non-O for retirement. No questions, no issues. I had a booked appointment and was in and out in 15 minutes. Thanks for all your help!" However note in same thread a guy asked same question at CM and was told clearly...NO..cannot obtain a Reentry Permit to protect the 90 days. My understanding is that you can. OP, in the month you are out of Thailand where will you be? Ask as you could obtain a Non O eVisa during the month outside of Thailand. OP, exact same question asked in this thread.... https://aseannow.com/topic/1324898-i-got-a-non-o-single-visa-but-i-would-like-to-enter-into-visa-exempt-use-the-visa-later/

Online work has been "tolerated for years" Not allowed is income from Thai customers. You stated "a lot of retirees" Nup. Vast majority are not working on Non O

Off topic post removed

Many off topic posts removed. Actually should be lot more removed. Stick to thread.

Doesn't help as immigration offices are a law unto themselves. You could have asked them what a TM87 form is for or even stick it under their noses. Granted would have gotten you nowhere.

Without a reentry permit he would have been given visa exempt stamp. In any event his 90 day count will commence date of entry to Thailand.

It varies. Here is cut and paste from a post in thread regards income method.., "I applied for my retirement extension a few days ago, using the 65k method, at Jomtien Immigration. They required me to show both the statement from the Thai bank (which, btw, took a week to get...no-one mentioned that part to me lol)...and also some proof of where the funds were coming *from*" I suggest folk provide a 12 month bank statement. True BBL take few days (5), however other banks on the spot. You can obtain that day or two prior to attending immigration. Cost: 200b

Some offices will insist on 12 month bank statement.

Don't think they will allow you to apply 6 weeks early. 30 days prior to expiry is normal. 45 at some of the large offices. BTW: Like the way your immigration office provides quick review prior to obtaining bank "stuff"

Indeed over 15 yrs ago. Also the OP is planning to obtain extension from another office to where stamps were issued.

Not sure what you mean. A 12 month bank statement will date back to 12 months prior to application. BBL is only bank I'm aware of that requires 5+ days to issue. Others are on the spot. No.

The OP obtained stamps in Bangkok. In addition it was done in one hit as outlined in Tod Daniels posts. The OP now wants to deal with Ranong. Also using his own financials.
