You will need a letter from immigration stating your intention to complete your Visa Application.

Definitely easier to apply online while you're stateside.

Apply for your visa using your SS income BEFORE you leave the US. Get the multi-entry option. Once here, extend your health insurance to cover your second year here. Re-enter before your first year stamp expires and when you re-enter, you will be stamped in for another 12 months or to the expiration date of your health insurance. (Whichever comes 1st.)

When you first arrive, open your bank account and start making monthly 65k baht deposits. By the time your visa renewal is due you'll have met the deposit requirements for the renewal.

If everything is in order the turn around is very quick. No interview.

Applies to all customers, not just foreigners from what I was told at my branch. The teller even showed me on thier personal mobile app the very same limits applied to him.

I'm in Ubonratchathani but Kaisikorn opened mine 4 months ago. I had to have my residence certificate, passport, visa, and Thai phone number.
