Yes. As you will see in previous posts you require to have 15+ days remaining on your entry stamp to apply for the non O. You require 800k in bank on day of application. The bank can provide bank letter on day of application. A small deposit on day of application is good idea Here is link for appointment. Make sure you make hard copy of confirmation email https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

Wait for 15 days from when you made the online report

https://aseannow.com/topic/1297092-non-o-visa-retirement-purpose/ Here is a thread that also has several links to other threads. Do you have Thai bank account in your name only. https://aseannow.com/topic/1292470-applying-for-non-o-visa/

Here is useful link. You should make and appointment. For my most recent (few weeks ago) they wanted a TM47 receipt and I also provided bank statements. The previous year they were not happy with just my bankbook and photocopies of pages.. Also very detailed list by @TallGuyJohninBKK.

I did no suggest back to back METV visa That provides 9 months stay and with couple of visa exempt entries and extensions no problem.

As someone posted earlier .... You may require an onward flight within 30 days for the airline to issue boarding pass. One option is to use companies such as "onward ticket.com"

Just have passport. Of course bring you bank book just in case. Some io want to see funds maintained during under consideration period. SCB do not have branch at CW. Most other banks do.

You travel with both passports. No issue. There is no "time limit" to transfer reentry permit and visa information Visas are not transfered.

He has a visa and visas are not transfered to a new pp. He will need to travel with both passports. Even in a cancelled pp any visa remains valid.

When you arrive airport in Philippines check with your airline if onward flight is required for your return flight to Thailand.

Myself and many others use money transfer companies. This is covered in "banking finance" forum. WISE is recommended. Opening a bank in Thailand is not as simple as one would imagine. Where will be based in Thailand

All nonsense. You would not be stamped in for 7 days. You are not deported. You can be refused entry. As pointed out already, you are kept in Detention holding rooms. Pictures of that already posted

Should be fine. Obviously you have your reasons, however why not a nearby country such as Vietnam, Malaysia etc Why "just a few days"

Perhaps this has already been mentioned.,.regarding initial steps. The airline OR immigration press you to sign "form" Vaguely recall that's like signing an agreement to depart and you pay for flight..

Years back not. In recent times to obtain TDL you will need a certificate of residence

You are doing a back door Scaremongering and throw up couple of friends as a example re changing their plans. Quite funny really

I repeat ....attention seeking thread. Recently covered in few other threads. Perhaps you became inspired.

As usual you completely misread my posts. I'm huge fan of Vietnam. First 7 years in Thailand I went to Saigon every month. Yesterday I applied for multi 3 month eVisa to Vietnam. Unrelated advice to others ..the eVisa application is soooo simple.

I have read couple of posts from ubonjoe regarding this. I have never read a post of someone doing that. Naturally most of us mugs are not familiar with what ubonjoe outlined.

Exactly... Re this thread what is it doing in "visa, work permit and residency" Forum. It's a finance business forum at best.

What's your point. Vietnam suits some and not others.. Same as Philippines. Same as Cambodia. Some people love those joints some dislike. So back to the OP ...the tax issue is nonsense.

Try this one.... https://aseannow.com/topic/992077-entry-denied-bangkok-airport/

Run Forest Run. Find your thread ridiculous.

One man's trash is another's treasure. Find your post pretty ridiculous. It didn't suit you ...fine. Added note is that you worked there. Significant point. Don't tell me you were teaching there.

Thanks for the info. I'm so out of touch re ED visa so cannot post useful info. I was under the impression that to obtain back to back the schools had to be certain category. Thinking @BritTim is pretty across ED visa. Just bumping your thread as no replies.. Good luck..
