Can be done via mail, including first 90 day report.

That will work no problem. Obviously make sure you have internet access.

A train ticket won't cut it. Must be onward flight.

Siam Legal can open Bank Account. It will be with Bangkok Bank.. Can be done remotely. Approx 3500 baht

Read the thread. You are confused. Please post advice to OP without deflection . Let's wait till OP clarification of how he plans to enter Thailand

Good post of yours. Just to add....if the op applies for non O retirement in home country he will need to provide insurance for 90 days. Another option for him is to enter visa exempt and apply for non O within Thailand and in that example insurance not required

The OP is not dealing with Jomtien. Apart from that reports recently that opening bank account in Pattaya required residence certificate. Also reports that some got around that requirement in Chonburi. In any event the OP does not deal with that district.

Surely a possibility. So where was this account opened and when?! Opened ended posts mean little. Very easy to post where and when. Also visa status when you opened the bank account.

There we have it. Proof an onward ticket is NEVER asked for by airline for folk flying to Thailand without a visa or reentry permit.

Your extension has expired. Guessing your plan is to return visa exempt. First step will be to obtain a non O in Thailand. Then later obtain a 12 month extension. If that's the case you may be asked by airline to show onward flight. If you are obtaining the non O in the UK an onward flight is not required.

Just tacking onto your post. Pre covid PP also gave extra gift. Full page sticker of tv with large RED VOID stamp .

In Bangkok you could use any agent. Examples: ThaiVisaCenter, Siam Legal etc . In places like Pattaya there are numerous options.

This thread might help.

Just for others info. First report can be done in person and via mail.

Catch 22 for this is good description. You could try Kasikorn and hopefully with the non O bank may open account. Alternative is to use agent. Approx 3k baht. IMO saves the mucking about. Be aware that only 3 banks now do transfers (of large amounts) using WISE. Suggest one of these banks best option Agents often use BANGKOK BANK. From WISE .... You can send up to 2 million THB per transfer. Please note that you’ll be able to send 50,000 THB or above per transfer only to the following banks starting from 7 January 2022 due to regulatory changes: Bangkok Bank Public Company Kasikorn Bank Siam Commercial Bank

He is not applying for a non O. He is applying for an extension. Funds do not need to be shown to come from overseas.

Reads as good promotion for report via mail or Online.. Why folk report in person I will never understand.

How long do you plan to stay in Thailand. Does your Thai wife also have a USA passport?

No wonder you received 12 laugh emoji on your OP. Along with nothing positive. Your thread is a nonsense. You state.... "Yes i have many friends who have several million dollar net worth in Singapore which is where i live". Ludicrous. With that level of wealth there are options already outlined.

The OP has a non O Already has a 2 yr TDL. For his 5 year license he will require another residence certificate. He will have a 90 day report receipt to provide of RC application.

See how you go in Australia with that theory. Can't believe some of the "privilege folk" posts in this thread.

Yes have read about KK 500b. At least you get it on the spot. In my thinking it's just the typical Thai nonsense. 90 day report receipt should be sufficient

No problem.

Just one person's opinion.... 1. Book your flight into Thailand. 2. Book a return flight Bangkok to Siem Reap obviously staying less than 45 days in Thailand before flight to SR. The flight to SR covers your onward flight (possible) requirement from Airline when exit USA. Your second visa exempt entry to Thailand from SR ...onward flight is covered by your return flight to USA. Don't muck around with land travel and borders.

You will need to show 800k in your Thai bank account for the non O and if you cannot show 12 months of previous 65k transfers you will need to use money in bank method for extension.
