I would like to ask some questions about getting a Non-O retirement visa from local Thai immigration, probably in Hua Hin or Bangkok, while in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry:
1. Does the 800,000 THB bank deposit need to be π΄π¦π’π΄π°π―π¦π₯ by at least two months for the initial 90-day Non-O visa as well or does that only apply to the subsequent one year extensions, but not to the initial 90-day Non-O visa?
2. I know that the 800,000 THB bank deposit needs to be πͺπ― π’ ππ©π’πͺ, π―π°π΅ π§π°π³π¦πͺπ¨π― π£π’π―π¬ π°πΆπ΅π΄πͺπ₯π¦ ππ©π’πͺππ’π―π₯ for the subsequent one year extensions. Does this also apply for the initial 90-day Non-O visa or would a deposit in a non-Thai bank outside Thailand also be acceptable for this?
3. If not, then how would I open a bank account in Thailand for this if doing so without a long-term visa is apparently very difficult, but I would need this bank account to get the long-term visa?
4. Is it also possible to get the initial 90-day Non-O visa in any of the neighboring countries in South East Asia without being a permanent resident there and would the answers to question 1 and 2 above be different there? If so, what would be the best locations for this?
Thank you!
