@Shawn ******

what's your point?

@Eric *****

not at all, if you are staying in Patong and going to tourist restaurants you are paying super premium prices.

Went to a nice little noodle shopnin Phuket town for late lunch.

2 thai tea

Split appetizer

2 beef noodle soups.

209b

Ice creams at a artisan ice cream shop 1 scoop on waffle cone 89b

And that's expensive fancy.

Didn't have dinner because we were both full from that.

There are great values all-over the island, even in Patong.

Heck I know Thai buffets that are AYCE 99b

AYCE BBQ buffets 195-350b

@Eric *****

sadly then you are not doing right.

As even in Phuket its great value.

@Kevin *****

if you are cashing out, it's your money.

@Kevin *****

the 90 day non-o does not require health ins ,criminal or medical.

Only OA does.

You haven't specified what Visa you want to apply for.

Therefore no one can answer that.

Many Visas can be applied for in country and many cannot.

So please edit your post to say what visa you are looking at at or the purpose.

For example a non-o based on retirement can be obtained incountry or out of country.

@Vijay ****

I am sick and tired of people who don't know what the rules are, putting their 2 cents in.

If you don't know, don't just put your guess in.

This can have serious ramifications for someone who listens to your incorrect advice.

@Andreas ********

that is where you are wrong. They will not accept anything but embassy endorsed income for the first year.

It doesn't matter if he already had 12 months of transfers.

This is why people get trapped.

At some point they have to have the 800k first.

UNLESS their embassy will income certify.

From here believe what you want.

@Andreas ********

they will only accept 800k first without embassy endorsed income.

Then the 12 months begins for transfers.

There is no official limit.

The officer you are in front will decide when they believe you are abusing or trying to live in Thailand.
