Regards the notation next to deposit amount. See attachment. Hopefully immigration will accept this. Am doing annual extension Wed along with reentry permit and will post report in this thread. Understand that is now L3 Now have planned to attend bank early Wed to make deposit + update. Not simple for me but it is what it is. update :

So annual extension retirement is due. CW like to see update on the day of application and that also shows activity in the account. I previously achieved this with a small 100b deposit Kasikorn. Sadly they have closed the branch at CW. Would this work.... on day of application do a small withdrawal from ATM and obtain a print out receipt? Unrelated but may be useful to others regarding how transactions are coded from abroad. Threads on credit advice. I just now obtained 12 month bank statement. Requested in Thai language. See attachment. The Thai script next to my monthly transfers state "funds(money) from abroad" according to the Thai gf.

What part don't you understand. Currently to obtain a Non O in Thailand you need a Thai bank account. To obtain a Thai bank account you need a Non O. It's a catch 22 situation. Currently you will not be able to open Thai bank account from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Years ago it was common place to open bank account from tourist status. That's no longer the case. Bottom line : obtain the Non O from outside of Thailand (eVisa) For anyone interested in current banking rules here is very clear video.

Zero issues. Ignore posts advising otherwise

Read the thread and my post again. It's more about being able to open a Thai Bank account from visa exempt entry. Currently even French will not be able to open Thai Bank account from visa exempt entry. So ain't you clever. Everyone is not French and can obtain embassy income letter. Not only USA but include UK, AU, and more recently Canadian and many others do not provide that doc. The OP is USA. Your post is smug and off topic

Agree. If I was in that situation... I would #1. Ask to see supervisor. Suggest to him/her that happy to sign a waiver for payment of flight back to flight origin or #2. Step away from counter and book "rent a ticket" Obviously option 2 requires you to have internet connection. Rent a flight is issued very quickly. General note: seems low cost airlines more likely to require onward flight. Also the route.

The link in my previous post was for safe entry services via air. BTW your friend does not have over the top history so approx 4-4.5k The same mob also have border run safe services. If that's suits him better. Source: Friendlythaivisa https://share.google/XUfF4L2oDOqZi87xg Source: Friendlythaivistps://share.google/XUfF4L2oDOqZiNDLY

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552069237778 Friendly Thai Visa services. Works a treat. They use Line, WhatsApp etc. Price varies depending on history.

Just as well there are MANY offices that do

They don't need a Thai bank account to obtain some visas eg DTV, METV, SETV, etc. As for NON O they can obtain a Non O eVisa outside of Thailand. Once in Thailand they can open bank account with the Non O. Alternatively they could continue with visa exempt entry using "safe entry services"

Why do they "have to use agents"

If they arrived visa exempt how did they obtain "a year visa"

The problem won't be from immigration. The airline at departure may/will require onward flight. You could consider rent a ticket companies such as this one. Works fine.. https://onwardticket.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22186120239&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrojHBhDdARIsAJdEJ_dTe-7JhP5TJ_PHY-uuyhmOFZ7Bf9ifXHYqlZ78L9cVypaWp8fSsbYaAs7KEALw_wcB

Haven't been to Thailand in 5 years. What remotely is the logic behind thinking you would have any issue entering Thailand via air when you have an eVisa.

The OP requires the 800k to be covered. In any event 2k for two visa extensions even with required funds in the bank normally LOT more than 1k each.

Back to the OP. He needs a Non O from visa exempt entry. He deals with Jomtien immigration who are requiring 2 months seasoning of his 800k. Even with a 30 day extension the time frame appears too tight. An agent can obtain a Non O (retirement) + 12 month extension. Cost would be 30k+ Nothing to do with whatever you had the 2k agent do.

How long do you want to stay in Thailand. A Non O eVisa also does not require the 800k in a Thai Bank. If the money in Thai Bank is the concern you could obtain the Non O eVisa and then in Thailand use agent. That would mean no ongoing insurance requirement. Also with a Non O-A eventually you would need the 800k in a Thai Bank for extensions.

That's in the main due to a vague OP without any details. In summary you inquired re entry via land or airport. Answer : It doesn't matter as you will have an eVisa. Either from Egypt or another country. In other words makes no difference. What type of visa...As I already posted for 6 months + a METV would be good option. Requirements in link I provided.

You do realize how crazy that is. With a visa you would fly Egypt to Thailand. The idea of flying to some nearby country just to enter Thailand via land border is nonsense.

That is just a shake down however not much you can do about it. However you seem to have created poor situation. You have thai wife and also mention Non O retirement as an option. What was the issue to avoid simple options Just my opinion.. Suggest you try reenter Thailand and point out intention to obtain Non O marriage or retirement You have fall back options. Seems poor planning from outset. Where are you based in Thailand?

#1. Why apply for a Non O-A when there is Non O alternative. #2. Why not apply for police certificate prior to application to check results. Most likely clear.

Your account is completely unrelated to OP situation.. Also not even clear what service was required. Certainly very very minor for 2k

#1. Person with a DTV may not wish to exit/reenter Thailand to obtain 6 month stamp. They may wish to obtain extension at immigration. #2. May need dealing with immigration for eg a COR for various reasons. Both would require a TM30

I'm well aware of that. The OP is posting vague statements/questions Now left field asking about extensions based on visiting Thai family. Thread is all over the shop. OP where are you currently located? Asking as your OP inquired re entry via land border. Why? Are you in nearby country.

Let's be clear. Do you have a Thai wife?
