Seems like this is the same guy that posted just a few days ago about getting a bank account. But now is asking how to get a bank account? Seems like a big fat lie to me.

Why do you post that you opened a bank account, then post 2 days later asking how to open bank account?

Unless you already have a Thai bank account, getting a retirement option inside of Thailand is not an option.

Do things the way they are meant to be done. Get the visa you need from a Thai embassy before you travel, and that will allow you do the next steps inside of Thailand that will allow you to extend that stay.

Simple, you said you sent ONE statement. They want 3 months of statements.

Definitely won't cause you any problems leaving or coming back. The airport officers don't care about or check 90-day report status.

The most likely outcome is that nothing happens. Worst case scenario is next time you need to do something at immigration, an eagle eyed officer notices you failed to report previously and they fine you 2000 baht.

No problem. Even if they ask, which is very unlikely, a few nights is plenty to satisfy them.

You don't have a visa. You have an extension. Your extension expires August 11th, 2026.

The paper in your passport has absolutely nothing to do with your permission to stay in Thailand. That is your 90 day report and it's telling you when your next report is due. It even says in red on the top left "this is not an extension of stay"

The same thing would happen ANYWHERE if you don't have the correct paperwork to do something official with the government. Government agencies in America will happily send you away after waiting months for an appointment if you don't come prepared.

That's completely dependent on your immigration office.

Most require you to file a new TM30 when you leave Thailand and return, even if it is to the same address.

Some don't care where you go inside of Thailand as long as you return to the same address, but some require you to file a new TM30 even after domestic travel.

You can just have your landlord create an online account and send you the login information and you can do it yourself.

That completely depends on where you will be applying. Most immigration offices allow you to apply when you have 30 days or less left. Some allow you to apply when you have 45 days or less left (Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, a few more), and a few only allow you to apply when you have 7 days or less left (Jomtien, Koh Samui, Koh Phangnan).
