Also if you bank in Canada be aware that many banks (TD Canada Trust for example) you can't set up Wise as payee and you have to physically visit bank for wire transfer. Wise tells us we can use debit card or credit card (have yet to complete this) so would need to talk to bank to increase debit limit if necessary.
With a residence certificate from immigration some banks might open an account. Bangkok Bank will typically do so with the purchase of a one year accident insurance policy. Many banks flat out no without a work permit. It will vary bank to bank, branch to branch.
You just need money in bank to apply non O in Thailand does not have to be in bank for 2 months but it has to be in 2 months for retirement extension then also has to remain for first 3 months of retirement extension
You don't have to leave country, apply for 90 non 0 once funds in account then last 30 days when funds have remained in bank 60 days untouched then apply 12 month extension for retirement
Paul Darby non O-A outside Thailand and Non O in Thailand both with retirement extension? So either way not really called Retirement Visa yet serves same purpose?
