Yes you could do it.

You would receive an overstay without a fine because of closure.

As said it makes no sense to do it that way.
Chris *******
He can't.

If he was denied entry that is not a ban, so in theory if he gets the proper visa he should be allowed to enter.

Unless there is more to the story that complicates it.
Chris *******
If you qualify for 60 day visa exempt, stay 60 days and leave.

Reenter and receive another 60 days.

No need to pay for a 30 day extension and still have to border bounce.
Chris *******
A non-o visa allows you a 90 day stay.

No health insurance required.

You would then apply for a 1 yr extension.
Chris *******
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.
Chris *******
One you are in Thailand , your flights don't matter.

Immigration doesn't care, unless you overstay.
Chris *******
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
