If they ask, nothing stops you to ask the conditions until all clear to you.

The requirement is minimum 2 months prior application only but some Immigration Officers will tell or ask you to keep the funds in your bank account during the 30 day under consideration period which you get first.

If you never stayed 90 days or more there is no reason to fine you for staying 90 days or more without reporting.

They will not ask for a copy of the form that you stayed over 90 days somewhere in 2022.

You have to go back to the same office on 1 Sep with your passport and this receipt to get the answer of your application.

Advice: Do not walk out the office if you do not understand what to do, just ask the officer who took all your documents after you ask him/her that you like to apply for a visa.

With a Tourist Visa you can apply once for a 30 day Extension of Stay at your local Immigration Office.

If you wish to prolong your stay longer than you may apply for a conversion into a Non Immigrant visa if you can meet any of the requirements.

Yep, as mentioned in the second part of my advice. No need to show any insurance for the 1 year Extension of Stay.

Sorry, but I just guessed,

But for Brits it is the same system and same requirements
Robert *******
It seems you are from the US, so you apply using the on line system.

For the purpose of visit:

Retirement (pension age 50 or above with a state pension and wish stay inside Thailand for no longer than 90 days there is a insurance requirement of 40.000 Thb outdoor patient and 400.000 Thb indoor patient, which is what most travel insurance offer.

Once inside Thailand during the 90 days you got on entry you open a Thai Bank account, make a foreing deposit of 800.000 Thb, after 60 days but before the 90 days ends you apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on retirement and once stamped in your passport, you apply for the multiple Re-Entry Permit so you can travel all you want during that year.

With crazy thinking you could go the other way by visiting the Immigration Office, get the hand out with requirements and apply before 30 Aug for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on employment.

a few copies and application fee are cheaper than doing a border run.
