Your account will remain alive. The only reason the bank cancel them is when funds in the account cannot cover bank charges eg card fee.

OP, what visa do you have? I assume a non O-A?

Think you mean triple entry tourist visa. In any event that was 2013. Things have changed dramatically. Even the banks such as Bangkok Bank on their guidelines refer to having existing customer with you etc etc is all out the window. Most banks in various provinces are requiring certificate of residence or letter from embassy. This is all down to newish money laundering laws. My post that you quoted was referring to Bangkok where you cannot obtain a certificate of residence without having done a TM47. This does not apply in other provinces where some immigration offices will provide certificate with TM30 and perhaps lease.

The OP either has a valid non O-A or a ME non O retirement. They are both visas valid for one year. Very different from an extension from a non O retirement. OP you do not need to do a 90 day report. Your clock will reset on date of your reentry. You can enter any time prior to expiry of visa.. OP, clarify what visa you have.

OP, your plan is crazy. You make it sound as though you can return on ONE non O-A. That is not the case. Also non O-A has stiff insurance requirements. Both of you buy a reentry permit at airport on departure. When you return obtain 12 month extension 30/45 days prior to expiry of your current permission of stay..

Won't continue the debate. CW insist upon a TM47 to issue residence certificate. TM30 and lease will not do. The alternative is to obtain "letter from embassy". This is also the case for TDL. The problem is some embassies eg Oz , USA and others to not endorse address. In some provinces yes immigration may/will issue certificate of residence with eg TM30 and lease etc. Not possible in Bangkok.

Previously that was the case. Now requires a certificate of residence and that is not possible in Bangkok since to obtain a certificate of residence you need to have made a TM47 and that not possible on visa exempt or tourist visa entry.

OP, this is the correct answer I quoted. He needs to exit on EU and reenter on Thai passport and may/will not be possible at land border.

You use an agent. Nothing to do with immigration..

You are correct. I just started the application. It's user friendly. Once you register an account you can start the form and it saves that info and can add uploads etc.

I also plan to obtain new Oz pp. No issue as I'm in Bangkok. Interested in doing it online however it seems that proof of Australian citizenship is required and it list birth certificate along with some other option. I do not have either.

Don't follow. How long is process time to obtain new passport in eg Laos..

The significance word in your post is "Jomtien" The English translation is "crackpot"

Forget the pp renewal. Doubt you will have sufficient time. Skip the "emergency pp" that's not applicable to your situation. As for Thai pp that is processed in days. No issue. Your next extension will have expiry date of current pp.

Which immigration office. Did you enter with a re-entry permit? You are referring to a TM30. That should not be required.

This thread has some good links. https://aseannow.com/topic/1260551-insurance-for-non-immigrant-o-as-opposed-to-o-a/

For a ME Non O visa the funds do not need to be in Thai bank account.

Well then pretty much your only option is tourist visas..

You have two choices. Non O with extensions based on retirement or if married based on marriage. (if married to a Thai) Some married guys choose based on retirement due to much less paperwork and no under consideration period. Some choose based on marriage because the financial requirements are much easier than for retirement.

Another tourist visa..

Being issued at land crossings. Not issued at airports. You will not need TM6 for extension

Yes Is her other pp valid? She can exit on that pp and enter Thailand on her expired thai pp.

Yes was typo I fixed up prior to your post.

No . And not even if you exit Thailand and reenter. Which immigration office. CM is one office incorrectly requiring TM30 for inter province travel. Ridiculous really.

BTW ...the 400k only needs to be in the bank on day of application for non O. There is one rogue office (Jomtien) insisting on two months.
