My friend ( i know again but not me ) has great residency benefits ( beyond what most former employees can ever expect ) and is thinking to reestablish his residency in his home country at 70 years old. He has the 800,000 in a Thai bank account and is concerned where that leaves him in the Thai banking system if he doesn't renew his MENON O in December. He has a Condo in Jomptien to dispose of in the near future.

Thanks in advance for accurate information.

He wouldn't have a multi entry Non O.

Most likely he has an extension based on retirement from a Non O.

He wants to exit Thailand that's no problem..

If not renewing his extension then he can just withdraw funds when he wants.

BTW: don't understand the "transitioning" to METV.

METV is a tourist visa perhaps he may use in future to visit Thailand.

He would apply for that outside of Thailand
