Immigration only accept bank statements....good luck if you are bringing your crypto statement instead of bank statement for your next extension

Get a nonO for yourself and check with your local embassy for dependents visa for your wife...if not available then u get DTV for your wife

She can apply in the UK once she turns 50 come to thailand with the nonO and open bank acct to bankin 800k and seasoned 2mths for the extension

@Jay ******

sorry to hear that hope u can get a flight home without overstaying

It's just me I will reschedule a earlier flight instead of risking overstay it's not about the money it's about the overstay stamp in the passport

@Graham *****

not many ppl realized the 65k method most are too happy to go tru the 90days and 1st year extension....like myself i miss a few mths for my 2nd extension I can only do it at my 3rd extension....after confirming from the immigration officer....it's a taunting process for me as i started from scratch without agent luckily I had a thai bank acct few years back which I use for the convenience of travel not planning for retirement at that time

@Robert *******

just do the TDAC when returning to thailand will be fine

Yes u can after u get your extension just apply with TM8 and pay 3800baht for multiple re entry permit

@Diane *******

are u coming in on a nonO visa or visa exempt? If coming in on nonO yes a one way ticket will be enough and once in thailand u can start preparing for the 1yr extensions but if u are coming in on a visa exempt (60days for 93 countries) it's best to have a return or outbound ticket

Using a agent is up to individuals no one can foresee how the immigration will act in a few years time....if u do already have a rhai bank acct I would say keep it alive and don't close the acct and keep the thai sim.....during covid I have kept both my thai bank acct and thai sim and it does make it easier for me when thailand reopens it's door
