ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the requirements for reporting their residence upon arrival in Thailand on an OA or O retirement visa, including address changes and the need for proof of residence to open a bank account. They also ask if it's permissible to leave Thailand for three months after securing a residence. The user seeks clarity on whether they can switch from a retirement visa to a married Extension of Stay (EOS) in the second year and if monthly income can be used for retirement visa applications within Thailand, or only when entering on an OA visa. Responses affirm that foreigners must register their address within 24 hours, and any address changes require new reporting to immigration. Furthermore, it is noted that the type of visa cannot be changed once issued.
