bangkok bank, ask for rules, other banks are more difficult as tourist.

In Bangkok the requirement to get the non-o 90 days is that you have at least 15 days left of your legal stay (can be extension), and you need to have 800k in bank account, and money needs to come from abroad (wire transfer).

That money comes from abroad isn't requirement everywhere apparently, sic.

Best to immediately open bank account and visit your local immigration to get a list of all the rules that apply at that office.

@James *******

when? I did mine in person 3 months ago. No problem.

Are you talking about Bangkok?

Can you be more precise what has changed and what is the source?

@Wayne *******

I said not the problem if you live in Bangkok we never redid our team 30 and I've even changed passports meanwhile. Over my 4 years. And I left plenty of times.

But yes you need to do the 90 day reports if you stayed 90 days...

I've asked immigration about it some years ago I said no you don't need to do it at least not in Bangkok.

But next time you go you better ask them... Maybe only you need to do it ;-)

@Tod ********

this happened to me in Bangkok his time the 90 days report have never worked for me during the four years I lived here.

I tried online and it got rejected. After waiting in line for 2 hours at the bank of immigration I finally go to the person and it was done in 2 minutes. I asked for the reason of rejection and she said that I haven't written the address correctly and yes there was no space for it I only wrote what the exactly us for and apparently my apartment number needed to be on it.

I'm not sure if it's a person actually doing the matching at the online or if it looks for exactly character by character...

But wasting a day doing this I felt that maybe I try to do online next time but if it doesn't work I just fly to Cambodia for a week and reset it. Such a nuisance. Can we just do the night today report in the 7-Eleven similar to buying a SIM card hold up your passport etc.

(To clarify with specigically bangkok immigration)

Here is Bangkok immigation website.

@John *********

maybe it's different in different officers? Go to immigration in the office where you plan to do it and get its rules....

Maybe somebody else can get you definite answer.

What immigration office do you plan to use? I used Bangkok.

@Ja***

tell me more? What provinces?

I'm talking about the first time when in order to get the non-o 90...

If it's the first time the 800k needs to be proven to come from abroad it cannot be "local money".

The bank needs to give you a paper stating that it was transferred and it needs to prove that it was transferred from abroad which usually implies that you have to do a wire transfer of the full amount.

Just keep in mind, for others, that the rules are different for retirement extension.... (No touch 2 months before or after (keep ,> 800) and no ever below 400)
