You didn't need Vietnam flight for TDAC. So you don't actually have a ticket to Vietnam? The TM87 is a form to obtain a Non O from visa, exempt entry. The TM86 form is used if you entered via Tourist visa. Please don't tell me you entered with a tourist visa. Are you reading any of the advice posted in the thread?

No guess. Made in the US of A

That is only for application for the Non O retirement in Thailand. Annual 12 month extensions do not have that requirement nor does a Non O retirement obtained outside of Thailand

No

Agree with previous posts that obtaining the Non O e-Visa in UK is best option. Note also for others .. If obtaining the Non O in Thailand you need show funds transfered from abroad. This is not required if obtaining the Non O outside of Thailand. Doesn't apply to OP as he has had money in Thai bank for 2 years (strange)

You can obtain a Non O at your local immigration office from a tourist visa entry or visa exempt entry. My guess is that you entered visa exempt. The Non O requires 800k in Thai bank on day of application. Needs to be shown coming from abroad. That application also requires a TM87. You then apply for 12 month extension with up to 30 days remaining on the 90 day stamp the Non O provides. As mentioned you cannot use income method for first extension. The money in bank method has financial requirements. Edit: just noticed your funds in bank since 2023?? Immigration should not require proof funds from abroad

You have not outlined any skill set or qualifications. Seems at 25 you plan to do "simple legal work" Not possible IMO.

What does insurance have to do with things. You cannot use 65k monthly transfers for first extension. How are you entering Thailand. Visa exempt? The visa you could obtain from Thai immigration is a Non O retirement. That requires 800k in Thai bank account on day of application. That gives you a 90 day stamp. In the last 30 with the 800k having been in bank for 2 months you can apply for 12 month extension. You cannot use 65k transfers for first extension as you cannot show 12 months of transfers. What's with the trip to Vietnam. You mention birth of second child? Thai children? Are you married to Thai national?

Apart for the insurance for 2 years is an ok option. And the plan after two years. Continue with ongoing extensions requiring insurance every year?

From my post... "you can you WISE no problem. Good option".., My post was clearly referring to WISE.

Not credible. Thread closed.

Correct. Apart from that nothing on their net advice. That aside almost ready to close this thread. Does not seem credible

That's correct. Applicable to applications for eg METV where you need to be in passport country or country where you have permanent resident status.

First up agree with your summary of Bangkok. The airports and easy access a big bonus for frequent travellers

Abusive posts removed. @Harrisfan tone it down

Your post makes almost zero sense. The guy you quoted was stating that if flying from places in his example Saigon, that the airline almost certainly will ask for proof of onward flight. This is done by the airline at departure. Not immigration. BTW it's not the return flight that's of concern to the airline it's the fine.

Current thread running https://aseannow.com/topic/1361202-ltr-visa-ive-got-questions-please-help/ Also many others

I have not heard this. Very surprised if factual. "They were given 2 month extensions in order to deposit and season the funds" What was the two month extension based on?

60 days

Are you asking about Non O-X Or LTR Also what do you mean via an agent. You need to meet the financial requirements If it's LTR then easy research available. Try Google "Agent for LTR Thailand" You will see many companies. Here is just one by way of example. https://www.w-lawthai.com/services/ltr-visa/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18268867191&gclid=CjwKCAjwl_XBBhAUEiwAWK2hzmfUU2QS1zuD7xEAae7jJQ-BG_h6IiJ_HBAWvcpHzodmr41IxpafCBoCSacQAvD_BwE

Check out this very recent experience of non O eVisa Vientiane. Edit: you could contact @Wongkitlo for specific advice.

When did you marry? Think I recall another of your threads. Personally I would obtain the Non O e-Visa in Vientiane given wife's work travel requirements.

From AI.... "The VDLR (syphilis) test is a required part of the health check-up for a work permit in Thailand, and the results are valid for 30 days from the date of the check-up. If this 30-day period has passed, the applicant must obtain a new medical certificate with a valid VDLR result." Same for medical for TDL

Read the thread. As has been pointed out... there are NO stated rules. Please post the ones you are aware of. In addition even folk with a "Visa" can and are refused at various times.
