99% of Amphoes will request an Embassy certified copy of Passport, translated and legalised as a minimum.

 

Not trolling, just fact checking 🙂

 

Please provide evidence that 99% of Amphurs require the above, can't be hard to provide, you stated it so therefore must have evidence to back up your statement?

 

All I do is mention sometimes that one person's experience can not be extrapolated to mean the whole of Thailand.

 

"Currently, there isn't, but if they go e-visa?", according to your train of thought, maybe every retiree should keep 1.6 million in the bank 'just in case' they change the rules ? Why not just quote the extant rule?

I certainly don't have to answer to you, or justify what I already know to be fact.
When I obtained my Yellow book, the only requisite was a translation of my Passport, which I did myself, but that was 9 years ago.
Times have changed.

 

Better still, give me the name of your Amphoe that has no requisition, and I'll get the wife to phone and check back with you.

When you obtain the Non O and enter Thailand, the 400K must be seasoned for 2 months to apply for the extension.

Granted, at this present time there is no financial requirement for the single entry Non O, but a good idea to ensure that 400K is deposited beforehand.
Being forewarned is being forearmed.

Totally agree 🙂

 

However giving incorrect advice (400k for a single entry), is not being forwarned, it is being scaremongered.
