Vietnam is an option however Phnom Penh seems easy. Here is a thread.

Certificate of Residence - Bangkok
DrJack54 replied to Oxx's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I basically gave them copy of my 90 report. As per usual dealing with immigration I always take the standard copies of PP identity page, TM6, last entry stamp, visa stamp if any etc. Wouldn't hurt to have a TM30 receipt however I didn't have or provide one. I had a lease that was not looked at. I actually did a 90 day report just prior to the residence certificate. They also were not interested in my lease or TM30. Just verbal confirmation of the address I wrote for report was where I lived. The issue (if any) is with the clerks that issue queue ticket and do quick doc check. There is a photocopy service on site. -
First 90d report can also be done via mail

You obtain residence certificate at MTT. Main thing they want is your most recent 90 day report receipt. The fee is 200baht. It is mailed out EMS and you receive it in under 2 weeks. I had my lease but was not required. BTW if your 90 day report is due the desks for that A is adjacent to desk B for residence certificate. Don't imagine 2 copies required. For example if you tick car and bike license they provide 2 certificates and charge 400b -
Or they could do it online or mail. Spending 500b instead of going in person, I wouldn't call "lazy". I would call it smart.

The funds must be held in a Thai bank account that allows for instant withdrawal without penalty. Thinking in the case of FD account there is loss of interest but no penality. Think my banks current interest rate is 0.5% I just sit back and rake in the interest. A whooping 4k per year.

Exiting Thailand with visa in old passport
DrJack54 replied to mark147's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Don't understand. You cannot obtain a new extension until your stamps and visa information is transferred. The stamps are transferred by immigration (free service) then the application for extension processed. I along with many others have done exactly that at CW. How much were you charged for overstay. -
OP, Like your thinking. Folk in the forum would have some ideas. Your best to wait for advice from @ubonjoe Apart from the visa side of things she would also need to access your 800k held in your Thai bank account. You might like to also ask in the banking forum for advice. BTW...This bank funds access to spouse or gf or whoever is something many of us kick the can down the road on. I plan to make a Thai will for my assets here. Just keep putting it off.

Retirement Visa > How to Swap Methods?
DrJack54 replied to Ebumbu's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's exactly correct. By continuing the deposits right up to extension application you have it covered both ways. Cut the transfers after obtain the extension and just follow the requirements for funds in bank after that. Only a suggestion but many keep 800k+ all year round in the bank. Works well for me and best to have a designated bank account for that purpose. -

In the condo we live in I have the washing machine on the patio. No issue as there are 2 patio areas. Actually that joint has cooking on the patio.. I actually prefer that.
