@dddave hells bells. Detailed excellent advice. Thanks for the detail and pic provided along with link.

@dddave can you advise. So have just obtained a condo. Bangkok. Has 2 bed and of course Lounge. There is cables that run from lounge to bedrooms... Problematic if they work or not. Wondering if it's just best to buy indoor tv antenna for each room? The TV's will be new Samsung and as you mention being smart TV may have something built-in. Any suggestions appreciated. BTW: The condo is level 8 (top floor)

Did the bank stamp the print outs that you provided from banking app for immigration? If so they should not have.

Your options work apart from 3. To "revert back" from retirement to marriage he would need to show financial compliance for the previous 12 months. He would need start over.

Yes the OP has an extension. It's a permission of stay that has an expiryexpiry date. Since he is married to Thai national he can apply for a 60 day extension to visit wife (provided not done previously from this Non O) That does not have the financial requirements. The next step would be to obtain a 12 month extension so this is just to buy time. The OP would be aware that the 400k only needs to be held in bank for 2 months + under consideration period. If the financials cannot be met the OP has issues. A switch to agent for extension retirement would be an option. Edit: last resort option for OP is to exit Thailand. He can reenter Thailand visa exempt and receive (currently) a 60 day stamp. He can obtain a 60 day extension to visit wife every time he does this. He can effectively push back the timeframe to eventually obtaining a Non O. Messy (very)

OP, seems that you have a UK pp (from another thread). You will need to show 12 monthly transfers of min 40k per month. If you haven't been doing that then subsequent advice is irrelevant. You can (if not done previously) obtain a 60 day extension "to visit wife". This is sometimes done to buy time to have the 400k in bank seasoned for two months.

You would be aware of obtaining new pp in advance. Take any required copies and do 90 report via mail.

You would do 90 report online providing details of old pp. That could continue till you do transfer of stamps at immigration for new pp. Immigration (online reports) would not be aware of pp renewal.

@roger101 you started same thread. No clarification on previous thread and now same vague thread without details.

You most likely mean obtain extension. Which immigration office? Extension based on what? Using income method of funds in bank?

Money well spent. Anything that avoids aggravation is worth it in my book..

Some thoughts in this thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1264017-signed-a-contract-but-have-yet-to-file-for-work-permit-what-are-the-options/

Here is ditto situation. https://aseannow.com/topic/1353650-transfer-code-for-international-transfer-what-does-immigration-accept/ @flexomike how did you overcome the issue? Edit: just noticed link to thread already posted.

Did your Bangkok bank offer a solution. Did you obtain a 12 month bank statement? Problem is BBL take few, days to provide 12 month bank statement. Ask the bank about "credit advice"

One thing immigration are strict on is the financial compliance. You could run your situation past an agent eg @ThaiVisaCentre. I'm not suggesting agent on going however that is an option. BTW: 10 days remaining is getting down to the wire to consult an agent but still possible. Your plan of border bounce and transition to Non O will work. Suggest you do that with minivan border run company. Here is link to one. https://www.facebook.com/share/1V4UMpb27x/ Assume that you didn't have another account with 50k balance. I also messed up start of current extension as tgf dipped it below by 1500b. Mention this for others to be aware that you can use two bank accounts.

In fact he has less than 20k. Cannot afford safe entry service. Doesn't have an onward flight. Crazy situation IMO.

Don Mueang airport

No. They accept things such as QR Code sent from Line and Whattsapp etc. In advance naturally.

The fine will still be 2000b Jomtien is not difficult to get to. Just go and do it. You could ask agent eg Maneerat Soi 13/2 to attend immigration. You are making simple difficult.

You will (most likely) be fined 2000b. You will not be fined more by leaving it till later. Must be done in person. Depends somewhat on how, difficult it is to attend immigration. If immigration is handy just attend and do the TM47 You will receive a small stamp in Thai as a record of fine for late report.

I found this guys blog clear and useful.
