@Khun *****

while some state the reason and some don't the fact is one applies using a specific reason and the visa only provides permission for that reason

Anonymous participant 759 not true, the visa is issued for a purpose.

Anonymous participant there is no reset, whatever you read is incorrect

@Robert *****************

you have to mark it as funds for long term stay in Wise when you send the money but it isn't guaranteed to work. If it isn't marked correctly in your bank book or statement then you can't use it anyway unless you get a foreign funds transfer certificate. There's a FAQ on Wise regarding this. The only way to guarantee an international transfer is to use swift

@Raymond ********

you can only get that 90 day Non-O visa inside Thailand without having the required funds in a Thai bank account is if your embassy will provide an income affidavit/certificate proving you have the requisite funds. And if they will still do that you don't need the money in a Thai account for an extension either

@Jean-marc *******

that's your mistake right there

@Graham *****

depends on the DLT office

You need both a medical certificate and a residence certificate before you can get a licence then watch a video and take basic response tests

1. If you will be working remotely from Thailand you need to apply using workation and not soft power.

2. You can't work on a retirement visa.

3. Virtually impossible to get a Thai bank account on a DTV

@Tod ********

exactly. Turn up with everything and give it a go. I've never seen anyone saying they've been refused the conversion but then again I don't know if anyone has ever tried.
