Office depending. Some offices require the 400k to be seasoned for 2 months, for the NON O as well, ie Pattaya.

Make one anyway. Prepare for all options....Jomtien Immigration are in a world of their own.

He 'had' a retirement Visa and lives in Thailand full time. Then left with no re-entry? How does one respond to that? Planning is everything.

You can also get a NON O, and 1 year extension of stay, based on your Thai child, provided you are the legal father.

Fingers crossed that Evisas are available in Australia. They are behind the times.

You have not mentioned which office you will use. Some require 2 months seasoning for the NON O. Pattaya is one, as an example. Check first at the office you will use to make sure.

Someone may correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe Chonburi Immigration allows the combination method. If this is the case, he will need to keep all of the 800k in his account.
