@Barry *******

you have to try and be reasonably consistent.

For example if you deposit on the 3rd and then the next month on the 28th, that is almost 2 mths between deposits.

Its not just that you deposit in Oct and then in Nov.

They also prefer to see 1 deposit for simplicity.

Remember it will be office specific and then officer specific what they will allow.

With the money , either banked or income method, 1 mistake and you have to start the process over.

@Barry *******

no your annual date will be basically static.

Being able to apply early allows you to work around your schedules, fix any potential issues, etc.

Some apply on the last day, not a good plan.

@Barry *******

your 12 mths of deposits , must be 12 mths on the day you apply, NOT from the date your visa was initially approved.

So you need the transfers to start asap because you may apply 30 days before the end of your extension.

AGAIN the 90 day Non-O is also done at your home country.

You can find it where I posted the screen shot.

@Barry *******

and it must be 12 transcations on the application date not the visa expiry date.

@Barry *******

the smartest and safest path in to leave the 800k in untouched until the new extension is inked under the Income method.

I have seen people fail over a few baht drop in the account because of service fees.

@Dawn *********

yes you will have to do a 1 yr extension once you have the money in Thailand for 2 months.

@Dawn *********

YES

This is a common misconception.

The 90 day is not under the longstay visas and people will end up applying for an OA.

The OA has more requirements.

So in the evisa system find the 90 DAY non-o based on being over 50.

@Dawn *********

No, a non-o 90 day visa based on retirement does not require health insurance.

An OA 1 yr visa based on retirement does, 2 very different animals.
