Talk to the condo office. They can give you the actual banking details and then you can send to them, using any of the money apps.

One you are in Thailand , your flights don't matter.

Immigration doesn't care, unless you overstay.

In Phuket you cannot apply for it from a tourist/Visa exempt any more.

From a non-o it is still available.

Changed a few weeks ago.

There is no problem if the original account has the money history...he goes back and gets the right info.

Even if it was the last day, he could come back and pay the fine and fix the problem.

If he was denied and told to leave means he could not prove the money requirements from the previous year, regardless of the second account.

They are not the first to mess up the requirements .

okay this is where I can help you. You will apply at room 103 for the visa. BUT If you go in the main doors up to room 204 there is an information desk with foreigners that can walk you through the requirements and provide you with a sheet and answer any questions. .You can download the phuket specific requirements at piv-phuket.com with the current correct requirements. If you need help you may DM me directly and I can answer any Phuket specific details

If you work ONLY outside of Thaialnd no problem.

You cannot do business with anyone in Thailand.

As far as rejection , there is really only not qualifying.

They want us here just prepare.

As long as you are prepared you will get the visa on your own just as well as with an agent.

The biggest challenge is the bank account now.

Best advice enter with the 90 day non-o visa based in being over 50.

Apply on the evisa site based on money in your home country(or wherever).

Then open an account and transfer the funds.

No reason you cannot do yourself .

You are not required to attend the courses, only to have purchased one.

Like a "gym" membership, you don't have to go but you have it.

You have nothing to worry about.
