OP, for 12 month extensions the funds do NOT need to be shown as transfers from abroad. You have no issues. For the first extension you need to have funds seasoned for 2 months prior to date of application.

No. For change of visa type pretty sure you attend CW. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/issuing-and-changing-type-of-visa/ The reference I made earlier to LakSi is for 30 day extension from visa exempt entry (off topic) To apply for the non O you require min 15 days on your permission of stay

They certainly have. You mention CW in OP. In the return envelop they will also include the photocopies that you posted with the TM47 With online report...assume you used magnifying glass auto fill after entry of name and pp # field

Do your 90 day reports via mail. Pretty much bullet proof

You need a Thai bank account in your name only with 800k in account on day of application for non O. For those with visa exempt entry in order to open a bank account consider use of an agent.

"non O retirement" is the way it's referred to however somewhat misleading. The requirement for non O is that you are over 50yrs. A condition on the visa type and subsequent extensions is that you do not work in Thailand. A non O retirement can be obtained at Thai consulates/embassies (also eVisa) in various countries A non O retirement can be also be obtained at local immigration office from visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Outlined in thread I posted to link earlier.

Do you mean visa exempt or tourist visa. Use TM87 for visa exempt or TM86 for tourist visa. Note application for non O from tourist visa done at CW. Application for non O from visa exempt done at Lak-Si IT mall In application options choose one shown in this screenshot.

Wife is a Thai national? So they entered how. Which pp did they use You can obtain a single entry non O based on retirement from a visa exempt entry. There is no need to renounce anything. The non O is used upon entry and gives a 90 day permission of stay. That permission of stay can be extended by 12 months ongoing and has financial requirements. While your plans may be fluid better information would be provided if you outline some sort of plan Here is thread that outlines process from visa exempt to non O retirement.

I was just about to give a thumbs up but your post needs a double confirmation. OP, is this a serious thread? I note your other posts re TDL out there.

Sounds bizarre to me given entire family in tow. You mention "work remotely" if online work can support family of 4 fine. Opening a bank account on a visa exempt would require an agent. It's not impossible to obtain a certificate of residence to obtain TDL. To obtain a TDL you would also require passport country licience. You still have not made clear details apart from located CM. What is current history of stay in Thailand. Would seem 60 (visa exempt) + 30 (extension) From CM you have border run options to Laos. Suggest a border run company. @Tod Daniels has thread regarding this. Visa exempt border bounces most likely best option till you sort out plans.

No offense but clearly you have zero knowledge of options. Certificate of residence is irrelevant. Forget that. Best option is a border bounce for another visa exempt entry. That can also be extended by 30 days. Added information required. Where are you located. You state came with family? Details. Passport country How long are you hoping to stay in Thailand. What's the actual plan

Here is old thread however still valid. Posts from ubonjoe https://aseannow.com/topic/1130123-re-60-day-extension-to-visit-your-wife/

Correct. Note for others: by applying early you do not lose days. The 12 month extension is from the expiry date. The seasoning side of using funds in the bank is based on application date.

Funds must be in the account based on date of application for extension not date of expiry of permission of stay. 800k two months prior to application and 3 months after application. Not below 400k in the other months

So today annual trip. Not really a report just couple of observations. I booked and appointment for TM47 and also one for extension. Tip 1. As I only had 3 days remaining on my permission of stay the io wanted me to obtain the extension first. (error by me) This year I obtained bank statements (I use money in bank method) Tip 2. I was using an FD account together with savings account (same bank) I subsequently closed the FD account after 3+ months of obtaining extension and moved funds into savings a/c. My mistake the teller at my local bank wanted the canceled bank book. This caused an issue with immigration today as they wanted "old" bb. Tip 3. Obtain the 12 month bank statement day prior (I realize not possible with BBL) also bank letter. The K bank was packed today at 8.30. All wanting bank letter etc. However ticket to make 100b deposit to update bb and show activity was zero que. Tip 4. I have always followed the useful reports on AseanNow however this year and previous, I just attended one of the photocopy print shops level 1, told them "I need visa extension and also 90 report" they know exactly what is required. (yes I know visas are not extended) Many photocopies listed in reports in this forum not required. This year (first time ever I supplied a TM30) Also map + bank letter (obtained day prior) showing ownership and balance. For the 90 report go to far right of que ticket lines and show hard copy print out of your appointment For the extension walk straight to doc check (first desk in L area). I asked the head io (rear area of L34) about changing to income method next extension. She said maintain the 800k for 3 months and be able to show 12x 65k(min) monthly bank deposits transfered from abroad along with credit advice from bank.

Same day is not possible CW. 200b and certificate posted ems ~5 days

He wants a DTV. Not a border bounce. OP, if using agent it's expensive process. Most offer package that includes accommodation, transport etc to Savannakhet. Cost 100-120k and allow approx 5 days.

No. Forget based on support of Thai child. Again no offense but really seem very naive given you have Thai wife and child . BTW: most immigration offices will insist upon extension based on marriage if currently married Apply for non O based on marriage and subsequent 12 month extension Read thread I posted above.

Not meaning to offend but your posts are all over the shop. You mention "wife's id" Why not obtain non O based on marriage? To obtain that you only need 400k on day of application for non O. It's the 12 month extension that requires 2 months seasoning. Here is thread outlines visa exempt to non O and subsequent 12 month extension https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/

What visa do you have. Where are you located in Thailand.

Then she should be able to act as agent.

No. You will deal with owner. You have clear answer above. Bit off topic but I suggest all folk to check situation with owner cooperation regarding TM30. My Thai partner has rental condos and currently has two with farang tenants. Whenever they require a TM30 the agent does it (no charge)

Use an agent. Most of the cost to agent is for insurance.

This along with your other points are correct. The reason you need to "start over" by exiting Thailand is that you have not satisfied the financial requirements for current extension. To obtain the non O retirement from visa exempt entry he will need 800k in bank account and also show the funds came from abroad. Here is thread outlining process. CW specific however covers what's required Note CM require 21 days + remaining on permission of stay to apply for non O Use TM87

A non O cost is 2000b 12 month extension 1900b From visa exempt to non O you will use TM87
