Which immigration office

When did you obtain your most recent Non O. Not directly answering your concerns however people should be aware that if they obtain Non O inside of Thailand eg at CW then the very first extension must be done at CW. For subsequent extensions you can change immigration offices (new province) and do a change of address. TM30. Afterwards obtain new extensions at that office. No reason you cannot renew your permission of stay at CW from what you have posted. BTW: You are not renewing "my retirement visa"

Seems you are just kicking tyres. There is 3 or more Pinned threads on DTV. There are threads of first hand experiences of doing the bounce at/before the 180 days. Also reports of obtaining extension at immigration rather than exiting Thailand. As for your new pp in future that is a minor concern. Immigration will sort that. Decide what's best for you after research. Having stated that... You stated " (I'm not remote working and not interested in soft skills)" Sorta rules you out.

Off topic post removed. Thread is not about legality of agents.

Perhaps you could explain how you obtained your extension DIY using money in bank method after having used an agent to cover financial requirements.

My first 7 years + in Thailand I was never here for more than 90 days. Wasn't till covid that I did first ever 90 report. It's not an issue and more common than some would think.

My guess is that he thinks financials are checked at in person reporting.. They are not. Very strange thread.

May sound like overkill, however I would also well in advance consider opening a new bank account. Fresh slate so to speak. Be aware that start over at jomtien from visa exempt entry may have issues.

You were asked simple question re when did you go below the 800k My guess is in the 3 month period after extension granted? When you start over there is no 90 day extension. You would exit Thailand and either obtain new Non O in nearby country or simply border bounce and obtain new Non O in Thailand from visa exempt entry. ie " Start over" Or you could use an agent but note that would be ongoing

After trip abroad and return to Thailand your first 90 report needs to be in person. Some reports of via mail being accepted. Depends on immigration office. BTW: the link to video is not working. You may want check that

Yes.

90 day reporting does not require proof of financials. Which immigration office. How long after obtaining extension did you drop below 800k. When does current extension expire.

The requirements are clear. 800k in bank 2 months prior and three months post application. Not below 400k in other months. Immigration very inflexible on this. You are either in compliance or not.

With extensive stay and previous ED visa you would require safe entry services. Recent thread on this a couple refused entry flying from Phu Quoc into BKK after brief trip to Vietnam. Refused entry. Returned using agent assistance no problem. Note the cost due to refused entry + ED visa approx 8k

So what's your question or you are just venting? DTV is an option however you indicate not going to obtain one. DTV is obtained outside of Thailand. Agents can assist however not cheap

Indeed, stamps etc must be transferred prior to next extension. Some folk leave it to when they have business at immigration. Folk note to update you details with your bank. BTW: There is no fee. They fleeced you.

That's strange. Your extension should have been given with "until date" Same as expiry of pp. May 10. In any event not sure of what you are asking. When you obtain new pp the old one is cancelled however valid visas, extension, reentry permit etc remain valid. You attend immigration to have visa information and relevant stamps transferred to new pp. BTW: Renew pp this year some folk end up in a tangle leaving it late. Saves little money to run the tank to empty. Which immigration office?

Several off topic and bickering posts removed.

Yes. This is not related to your plans however some folk obtain eg an eVisa for Thailand then ask if they can enter Thailand visa exempt and "save" the eVisa for later entry. I would not do that.

What you outline is fine. By way of example. Being Oz I need eVisa for Vietnam. I sometimes fly to Oz from Bangkok and return with a leg to Saigon (stay a week) then fly to Bangkok. Generally obtain the eVisa for Vietnam while I'm in Thailand. Prior to trip to Oz. After trip to Oz enter Vietnam with eVisa. No issue.

No. Sounds bit like Jomtien

To add to above post. CW is main immigration office in Bangkok. For extensions etc you attend Building B

Has nothing much to do with anything. In fact my joint AU we have superannuation funds as our "retirement". Frankly better returns and total investment amount that you outlined. News flash: useless to satisfy Non O financial requirements. The folk that have zero interest in meeting the financial requirements due to opportunity cost (valid stance) Have the option of using an agent to obtain a Non O from visa exempt entry+ subsequent 12 month extension.
