I assume that money back guarantee only applies to their actual service fee and not the fee for the visa.

But it is a tourist visa. So not eligible for bank account.

You should apply for the Non-O based on retirement before you arrive.

Don't need to make it stupid expensive by hiring an agent.

The Non-O should enable you to get a bank account, which you will need to get sorted and filled with the required amount of money for your 1 year extension within the first 30 days of your arrival.

DTV is classified as a tourist visa.

Tourist visas are no eligible for bank account, and even agents are not really opening them for people on tourist visas anymore.

The gap between then and now is loooong. You are obviously genuine tourists.

You will likely have no problems arriving and getting a visa exemption.
