I am not sure why not to remain on Non-O. If just to avoid the 800,000 deposit they are certainly aware of this scenario and they do not like it. You could’ve extended non-O on 65,000 per month remittances.

I would not dare to even think about overstaying in Australia or USA or Canada … even a day. Why would Thai rules be any different: plenty of time to re-enter within 180 days or simply taking a local bus from Ekkamai to Poipet at maybe 100 baht travel there. An overstay stamp is never a good thing in your passport or on your records.

the agents have a huge commercial interest AGAINST the DTV visa. They will try to get you on a more lucrative visa. I however can see the DTV visa becoming a liability the ED visa became.

it has always been hard to open bank account if not on non-O or Work Permit

Not hard to open on non-O visa. You will need an agent as DTV is effectively a multi-entry tourist visa.

I always use Skype for mobile and landline numbers; price per minute crazy cheap. Of course still get a local sim as data usually more stable than any wifi.

Anonymous participant 635 yes. Thankfully still remittance basis only but probably not for long. All countries are moving to worldwide income including assets for wealth tax.
