The OP, is applying for non O at Jomtien.

The 800k in bank is only required on day of application, however Jomtien is rogue on this and is asking for 2 months seasoning for non O.

 

Mentioned few times in the thread. 

 

This has come up a few times for the past year or so but one thing I'm not clear on - are Jomtien insisting on 2 months seasoning of funds AND proof of overseas origin, or just the 2 months?

This is for  conversion from visa exempt to Non O.

They seem to have knickers in a twist re non O from visa exempt entry.

So it would be 2 months seasoning and proof funds from abroad.

 

So disrespect that office.

Not far behind is CM for other reasons.

Yes I understood the bit about conversion from visa exempt to non-O but the last post I remember on the subject was a rant rather than providing details. He took his bat and his cheek and went home.

 

Thanks for the confirmation that they want both, that's quite the double whammy.

 

I'm neutral on the subject of that office as they are my 'home' office even though I never set foot in the place. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em 😉

Lots of great information in this thread, thanks so much. This website is awesome for information like this and I really it hope it survives. I want an O visa going forward so I think for me, it's best to visa run to Cambodia for a 30 day, extend it then apply for an O visa based on retirement in January. Again, thank you for your replies.
