TLDR : Answer Summary

If you have a retirement visa in Thailand and travel out of the country every quarter, you do not need to do 90-day reporting as long as you do not stay in Thailand for longer than 90 days at a time. Several users confirm that they frequently travel without the need for such reporting, provided their stays are less than 90 days.

, I'd say get a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O-A (Long Stay) visa from the thai consulate in your country BEFORE you come here. That visa requires a police background check and a medical certificate but you can show proof of funds using money in your bank account in your country.

The visa is good for unlimited entries for a year and every time you enter you're stamped in for another whole year. (Meaning you can get almost 2 years of stay out of the one year visa).

correct (y) you can another full year of stay out of that year long O-A visa IF you exit/re-enter just prior to the 'enter before" date on the visa itself.

So if I get into Thailand right before the visa expiration date, this a year-long multi-entry O-A visa will allow me to stay for another 365 days from the last date of the entry without any additional extension requirements, but only 90 days reporting if I stay over 90 days within the country. Am I correct?

No. We have retirement visas and travel a lot; never staying more than 60 days at a time, so we never have to do a 90 day report.

You can open a bank account and transfer the money within 1 working day. So in theory that would only take 61 days of your 90 days and you'll be good to apply for your extention of stay.

We got 1 year multi-entry visas in London based on money in UK bank accounts, and then only needed the money in a Thai account (for my wife) for future extensions.

Thanks,

. I have been visiting Thailand for many many timeS. One thing has been really confusing is that how can one open a bank account and then transfer 800k in a Thai bank for at least more than 2 months before can apply for one year extension, since you open have 3 months O visa at beginning. There is simply not enough time to do all that in 3 months. Am I making sense or not?

My wife (German passport) and I (British Passport) both have 1 year extensions, based on a visa originally issued in London. Mine is based on income, and wife's is based on the 800K in a Thai bank account.

You only do 90 day reports if you're in the country for 90 days or more.

Great, because I am weighing the options of Elite visa or retirement visa. Since I like to travel and will be more than likely of getting out of Thailand few times a year, should I move to Thailand. I think retirement visa is not a bad option.
