One could use the word "complain" however it's more about zero attempt to streamline things that is "mind boggling" The simple fact that Thai online 90 day reporting can not cope with a trip abroad and requires a trip in person to immigration to reset the clock is the ridiculous part. I'm sure the IT expert expats here must get a laugh out of how hopeless some things are done.

Seems that you never take trips outside of Thailand. Currently if you do travel abroad the first 90 report must be done in person. I regard that as an issue as usually travel a lot.

Assume Savannakhet? Thats 20+ hr return. Are you serious.

Requirement to have made a 90 day report in order to obtain a COR was specific to CW. That is no longer a requirement.

So you don't have a question. Just advice. Excellent.

OP, check out some of medical universities. Here is an example. https://anatomy.sc.mahidol.ac.th/old/bodydonation.htm BTW, OP, like your thinking and planning.

That "catch 22" rule was specific to CW immigration. It also ruled out obtaining a TDL. In recent times that requirement has been removed.

Off topic post re taxation removed.

Thinking best to gather background basic knowledge by research some threads.. Google "Non B Thailand AseanNow and there will be MANY. Here one to start. https://aseannow.com/topic/1317612-non-b-visa-questions/

Related how. Taxation questions have been covered in many threads specifically devoted to taxation. Ask questions in the many threads such as : https://aseannow.com/topic/1354821-thailand-yet-to-finalise-policy-on-taxing-expats’-overseas-income/

Which bank

How, long is the recovery period. You could obtain a 30 day extension unrelated to medical issues. That 30 days would be added to your current permission of stay. https://aseannow.com/topic/1329689-30-days-visa-free-extension-for-sickness/

They may still require that regardless of approval

Easy to do if you have the 800k in Thai bank account The 20k most likely for the Non O + 12 month extension. The 20k would have been for those that did not have the 800k

Please update when eVisa approved. Recent reports that process time in Savannakhet is basically overnight after payment.

Your post about methods of transferring funds to Thailand is off topic. Reason being that the OP entered Thailand with Non O and intention to obtain 12 month extension. He NEEDS a Thai bank account for that. Unrelated however suggest you spend some time in finance/banking forum.

Stamps can only be transferred at immigration office where they are issued. Having stated that I recall a post where that wasn't the case and CM transferred stamps that were not issued there. There was another similar question months back. Also stamps issued in Phuket. Suggest you chat with a visa agent. Think this one also deals with Phuket not sure. @ThaiVisaCentre By way of example... I had my visa information and stamps transferred to my new pp year ago. CW would not transfer Reentry Permit. Reason being that it was issued at DMK airport. No surprise as was aware. For folk in that situation just travel internationally with both pp. Added note for those transferring stamps at CW.. CW are requiring photocopies of bank book back to last extension to check compliance for those using money in bank method. A new trick.

No. Non O retirement is available No insurance for Non O or for annual extensions. Here is paste from the OP in thread link I posted earlier.., "I chose to use the very simple and fast e-visa process in Australia to get my non-imm O (Retirement) at a cost of A$120 (2800 baht)."

Most definitely. There is a report of obtaining Non O in Oz. Process time 3 days. Report in this thread with very clear OP. https://aseannow.com/topic/1330770-diy-retiement-extension-jomtien/ BBL cannot do 12 month bank statement on the spot. Takes between 3-5 days. You obtain the statement days prior to applying for extension. Can be 7 days old. On day of application you can make small deposit. This updates bank book and also shows activity. Obtain photocopy of that last page. Teller will do that. Thats true and Samui can be weird. Thinking they are one office that does not like visa exempt to Non O. Another good reason to obtain Non O in Oz

Just a suggestion.. If you decide to move to Non O retirement and extensions, suggest that you obtain the Non O in home country or outside of Thailand. Granted in your case with the 800k in bank for quite some time, the proof funds came from abroad is not a problem. However better option than enter visa exempt and apply for Non O in Thailand. imo.
