Think you are outlining your plan for your particular situation. That will work however messy IMO. Take example of someone located in Bangkok using Pattaya agent. Most likely stamps issued at Jomtien. Would be best to do quick border bounce and start over. In any event doesn't concern OP,s friend who seems not to have the finances even for an agent.

Which immigration office. So they accepted statement from app. How long did that take

Whoops... Just noticed that he is on tourist visa. That means agent obtains a Non O + 12 month extension. That's going to be ~30k

Some in this thread I posted earlier. https://aseannow.com/topic/1353860-agent-for-renewing-uk-passport-in-bangkok/ Key Visa previously was go to agent as the owner Darren (passed) was a UK guy. Plenty of others

Having used agent to cover financial requirements he cannot switch to DIY. Would require starting over. In any event he doesn't have the 800k. Agent for ~13-15k or go home.

Suggest use an agent. Plenty of good ones in Pattaya

Don't think anything stopping you. My first several years in Thailand I obtained 90 ME to Vietnam 4 times per year. Back then it was approval letter and visa issued on arrival. A PAIN. Now it's easy peasy e-Visa. My last couple took 4 days for approval and very few fields to fill. eg no upload of flights etc. No proof of accom etc. Walk in the park.

No. Which passport country? You are vaguely referring to "combination method". Some offices permit. Would help if you provide more detail. I asked for pp country as some embassies provide income letter. Can you place 800k baht into your Thai bank account? EDIT: From another thread seems that you are UK. The only option for you is to apply for Non Of retirement at local immigration office with 800k in Thai bank account on day of application. That will give you a 90 day stamp. In last 30 days with the 800k having been in bank for 2 months you can apply for 12 month extension. To apply for the Non O you would need 15 day minimum validity on your stamp. Are you on tourist visa or visa exempt entry? You would providd TM86 or TM87 respectively

Moved to visa etc to other countries.

In the bank book prior to the 6 month statement that you provided were there any months of zero transactions? As posted above.... What's the use of a 6 month statement. 12 months OR Bank Book OR both would be the norm

Assume you are using money in bank method. Previously how did you show financial compliance for the 12 months. Just your bank book?

Is that a report or question. I deal with CW for extension based on retirement using money in bank method. I provide a 12 month bank statement. The bank (Kasikorn) issues it on the spot. 200b Immigration will accept a bank statement up to 7 days old. BBL folk need to wait days for the statement

Goodie. I read the OP title and what he outlined clearly in his OP. He may read advice such as you provided and change his ideas. The link I provided with first hand experience was in response to OP request. That guy paid 50+50k. For some that would be a preferred option..

Some posts are poor advice. Correct advice from @BrandonJT and @Tod Daniels already posted.

Recently chap posted experience of Non O (marriage) e-Visa applied for in Vientiane with ridiculously quick approval. Almost overnight.

3 months bank statement would be fine. You are referring to Bank Letter. This confirms you as owner of the account and balance at time of issue 100b Yes copies of pages of bank book and first page with name + a/c #. For ongoing extensions immigration like to see activity in the account each month. I also (previously) used a dedicated account. As a result CW makes me provide a 12 month bank statement for each extension. Most banks can produce on the spot. 200b. BBL notable exception. Note the bank statement and letter can be obtained days prior to application for extension. Other items as mentioned in post above along with wife's attendance. A TM30 never hurts.

OP, here is thread of one posters experience with assistance from agent. Has several links.

You can read the zillion threads re this . He is one thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1328779-ltr-visa-how-long-does-it-take-from-applying-to-decision/ I also looked into this option. Be aware that you need to meet the requirements.

When does current pp expire? When do you plan to return to UK? If prior to expiry why do it now.

Would be "financial non compliance" hence the OP comment..."my fault"

It's not clear that the OP does not currently have have a reentry permit. Read first reply from upnotover. If he does he would need to reenter after it expires. BTW the OP does not have a Visa, that expired long ago.

Clearly you did not read the thread. Others also were confused. The OP, kept referring to Visa. At one point stated he thinks he has a Non O-A. Eventually states that an agent handles his extension. At that point it's obvious he is extending a permission of stay from a Non O Still has not posted when his passport expires. His current permission of stay expires July. Didnt notice if he stated pp country. You state......"Just read slowly maybe" How about you make posts to assist the OP.

Good point, however most unlikely he has not done 65k + monthly transfers for previous 12 months so he will need to use money in bank method..

Many threads on this. Not a problem. Wife will need to attend for first extension based on retirement. For subsequent extensions not required
