Hi, no I can't get 800k and no way I can look them for 5 months even if I could, I wish but not an option, thanks

Ubonjoe, thanks so I hope 6 months will be enough. I am Swedish and sure my embassy won't verify anything that's

from offshore sources or any other income for that matter. I think best is to go a month before extension time and talk to

someone higher up to get confirmed so I do not stand there 1 October and they say no, I need time to pack ????

Thanks guys

 

 

Why pack? If IO office disallow your applicaton then use an agent for your next extension. The following year when you have the 800000 baht then use the income method.

actually as I have already told a few people in discussions about this - they said they checked with their agent and all is fine for their next extension, the problem is when they go to renew that one in 12 months and it becomes clear that they didn't meet the specified requirements since then i.e. 800k balance 3 months after and maintain a 400k balance throughout the year - what then ?, they can't go back to the agent that took their money and complain when they are forced to leave the country because they broke the rules.

 

Yes the agent took their money and got them an extension why would they not, but are they guaranteeing they will not be caught when they renew the following year - No they are not !!!!!! 

Are you referring to extensions before or after March1. Extensions before 1 March, I agree they could get caught out on following extension. Agents are saying no change after March 1 so it is going to be interesting to see how agents are going to get around the 2 month before and 3 month after requirement.

Better still, go to an agent. No new regulations with them. Business as normal

I had a soft sided small 'coolbox' and packed it with some of those ice substitute blue plastic blocks you pre-freeze. You have to worry if your bag might be left in the sun on the tarmac in Dubai or other ME transit, but for direct flights it will spend most of the time cool at 35,000 ft.

I do the same from Australia to Udon. Never a problem.

Your valued responses cleared up a lot of terminoligy being "loosely" used. Having a permit stamp as opposed to a visa for one. Thanks again to all

Firstly, thank you for all the replies that I received. I was not aware O-A visa and its 90 day report and I can now see how my initial post required further info. I am on an annual extension stay, permitted till 25 Oct 2018 (reporting every 90 days for address notification). Before posting, I read a lot of threads on this topic and what stands out is the confusion relating to the term retirement visa. There are many responses that say there is no such thing as a retirement visa, yet my passport visa stamp clearly states the title RETIREMENT. The title Annual Retirement Extension is nowhere to be seen. Probably a trivial thing for the old stayers but a catch for newcomers like myself.

I currently hold a Non O "Retirement" visa reporting every 90 days. For family personal reasons I have to return to my home country for an undefined period. If I apply for a multiple re-entry permit my maximum return date to Thailand will be just prior to my next 90 day report date. If need be, can I then leave Thailand and return again prior to the next 90 day report. Is there a limit with a multiple re-entry permit on how many day I can be out of Thailand in one Non O retirement visa year?
