  1. Valid point, however goes without saying always check any public holidays for planning dealings with immigration both in Thailand and outside.
  2. How many days where? At eg Savannakhet after payment night or two.
  3. As you pointed out in previous threads from OP, he is not new to this as indicated in this thread. Doesn't seem that he has previously obtained a 12 month extension from a Non O. Perhaps not possible for him at immigration for reasons you stated. Not sure what the OP is actually asking advice on If the OP is 50+ he could consider non O retirement+ annual extensions. Financials the only hurdle.
  4. No. The funds would need to be in Thai bank account. No. Obtain the Non O in the UK. On entry you will be stamped in for 90 days. ASAP open a Thai bank account and transfer 800k. No need to exit Thailand. In last 30 days after funds have been in Thai bank for 2 months apply for 12 month extension. If you only wish to stay in Thailand for 5 months then get the Non O in UK then enter Thailand (90 day stamp) then do a border bounce (visa exempt currently 60 day stamp)
  5. No. As mentioned earlier CW has good printing/photocopy stalls on Level 1. You can do all your own copying prior to going to immigration or just hand them your pp, bank book etc and tell them what you are at immigration for. They also do photos. 4 for 100b
  6. Thanks for report + links to forms. Regarding the FD account. No photocopies of pages etc What does "most recent update 2 months ago" Mean. When I was using FD at CW I would update on day of application by way of making a deposit.
  7. Only BBL requires time (days) to produce 12 month bank statement. Other banks can do it on the spot. Good reason alone to opt for different bank imo
  8. This thread was advice for First extension. Bank statement for 3 months sufficient. In some cases the bank account would only be few months old.
  9. And immigration should accept that. Explain that you are looking for long term place to rent. Here is a detailed report Aug last year jomtien. https://aseannow.com/topic/1318123-residence-certificate-tm30/#findComment-19167108
  10. That's correct. With a Non O + certificate of Residence you should be able to open a bank account. For the COR the TM30 should be sufficient and the lease helpful.
  11. It's understandable that some married folk opt for extensions based on retirement even if married. For some it's eg home visit alone. BTW that's something I would not accept. With over 75 immigration offices there always is the not so pleasant ones.
  12. Have never seen an example of letter you describe. Did you consider or ask if a 3 month bank statement would be acceptable, because it should be.
  13. Find that very surprising. Personally have purchased over 5 condos and just love the way property settlement is done in Thailand vs my Joint Oz. Point is did a purchase few weeks back. Had to attend my bank to obtain cashier cheques. And that was an easy one as owner had no mortgage.
  14. OP has his question answered. Thread closed
  15. I never stated liar. I stated not credible. What you seem to be describing is obtaining a 12 month extension by showing 800k+ in bank two months prior to application... Then with Zero intention of applying for ongoing extensions based on retirement. Hence not maintaining compliance. Nothing new nothing clever. Note you would technically be on overstay. My concern is correct info for the forum and your posts are not doing that
  16. For annual ongoing extensions that will NOT cut it. There are almost daily threads on the financial requirements both retirement and marriage
  17. She is completely wrong. Either you are confused and unaware of strict requirements or the io is stupid. Seems you perhaps were only applying for Non O and not 12 month extension
  18. You asked about financials for 90 report. That was covered/answered in first posts Afterwards puff chest and suggest the you can not have financial compliance and it's all ok at Ubon immigration WITHOUT using agent. Your posts are nonsense.
  19. IMO the report and posts from OP not credible.
  20. Actually I was going to edit and ask about the window for next extension. Suggest that you do the extension and report at same visit You will do the annual extension first, then do the 90 report. Even more chance it will slide through no issue.
  21. OP, it's a set fine of 2k. Does not accumulate like overstay. Suggest you do nothing. Exit Thailand via airport as planned. Nothing will happen at airport. Upon your return you will need to do first 90 report in person. Rock up and do it. If immigration officer notices you missed a report then cop the 2k sweet. If not all good.
