2000b fine whether it a week late or months.

All owners can register tm30 online easily and produce one for you.

If they refuse, there are other issues.

What are the steps to obtain a Non-O visa and extend it based on retirement in Thailand?
Chris *******
You will need to use an agent to open the bank account.

It is virtually impossible to open one yourself, especially on a tourist stamp.

Then once you have the account and transferred the money, you can do the visa and subsequent extension yourself.

The local immigration office will give you a list, follow it.
