Anonymous participant 267 show the merged account balance. Then merge PDFs statements of the other accounts showing where those funds came from so they can see they had been in your own name elsewhere for a longer period. Include an explanation note.

Do I need to report to immigration after 90 days if I have a lease but don’t stay in Thailand that long?

@Jeffrey ****

they may or may not chase you up on it the next time you are at immigration for something like an extension, or 90 day report. Not at the airport.

@Merwin ******

what’s her travel history to Thailand been like recently? If none/very little then Jan’s approach may bridge most of her time to 50. Maybe consider some time in other nearby countries as well as Thailand over the next 18 months?

Can my mother-in-law apply for a Non-O Retirement Visa from Vietnam using her UK bank account?

@Abu *******

seems partly accurate. Tourists visas opening now almost impossible. Have seen posts recently of a mixed bag for opening accounts with these non-O visa types depending on bank and branch visited. People just need to be prepared to visit at least a couple of banks before one accepts them.

The next step for her after arriving on her 90 day will be to getting the yearly extensions. There are a lot of posts on here for doing that.
