Can I ask how someone can buy a condo in Thailand if they can't have a bank account? Before somebody says a tourist is not supposed to buy a condo: I personally own real estate and know plenty of people who own RE in countries where they are tourists.

Hello all. I recently read that if one holds an O or OA visa and travels outside of Thailand within the first year of its validity the visa is automatically renewed for another year from the date of the return. I have had several trips outside of Thailand during my first year as an O Visa with multiple entries holder. I just don't see how this is possible and hence my confusion . Also does this apparent extension occur upon every trip? I plan to return from the UK on April 1 and my current O Visa expires on May 28th. Surely it's not automatically extended upon my return to April 1 2026. I read about this auto renewal in a recent post. Thanks,Glyn

Thank you for accepting me to the group. I am leaning a lot already.

Can you recommend a group about owning land in LOS? I understand it’s complicated and requires a Thai partner….
