Do I need to report my residence while on a NON-O visa in Thailand, and how should I do it?
Keith ************
If you used an agent to find the condo, talk to them. Otherwise, talk to the landlord.

What is the definition of a remote worker for the Thailand Elite Easy Access Visa, and can I work for a foreign company while living in Thailand?
Keith ************
@Brandon ***********
 I've only heard of one raid, in Chiang Mai. It was an internet cafe and afterwards they let everybody go, saying it was a misunderstanding, and that it is not illegal to use an internet cafe.

Do you have any source for any other raid on a remote worker or workers?

What are the requirements for obtaining a Type O retirement visa in Thailand with a retirement account income?
Keith ************
@Brandon ***********
 this is correct. Then, if you start depositing 65k every month, after a year, you can move to the income method. Since you're from the US, you'll need to show them as foreign transfers to your Thai bank, rather than getting a letter verifying the income.

What are the requirements and process for obtaining an O visa for retirees in Thailand if you don't meet financial criteria?
Keith ************
@Terry *******
, I did have it happen to me once. The transfer went through Kasikorn, and then to my bank and showed up as a local transfer. I spent quite a while sitting in k-bank, getting the paper to show it was an international transfer. However, immigration never looked at it 😂

@Jeffrey ******
 if, when you transfer the money via wise, you select the "funds for long -term stay in Thailand" in the drop-down menu that asks for the reason for the transfer, it should be ok.

Is it necessary for my outward flight ticket to be within the initial 30 days in Thailand if I'm on a visa-exempt entry?
Keith ************
As others have said, the tourist visa is the way to go. If you end up not getting it, extending for 30 days is easier than a border bounce.

The non OA has an insurance requirement. The non O does not.

What self-defense or alternative courses in Bangkok qualify for an education visa?
Keith ************
I would stay away from Chiang Mai as the air pollution is ridiculous for a few months every year, and not that great the rest of the year.
