I arrived in Thailand 29 March 2023, stamped in on that date with my 5 year non -OX visa stamped out 06 March 2028.
Require some info on a couple of points.
I understand that different immigration offices have their own requirements. I am in Patong and believe with this visa need to go to Phuket main office.
I believe 90 reporting should/must be done there as well or would Patong suffice.
As health insurance is a requirement of this visa each 12 months, is this treated the same as an extension each 12 months or do I just go to show proof of purchase at Phuket. If so the actual extension application would be prior to 6 March 2028. Need clarrification on that point please.
Lastly, when shoukd the 800K be deposited in my bank. Ie, 2 months before 1st 90 day report, 2 months before the healrh insurance report or 2 months before the 5 year extension.
Dosn't seem to be much info on this type of visa. Phuket airport had me wait until they checked it out as they were unaware of it. All happy and smiles with a welcome.I will go to Phuket town late next week to familiarise myself with it but at the moment if I need to get the money deposited it will have to be beforehand. Thanks for any advice. Richard
