The agent might not be able to use Bangkok Bank for extensions anymore, but that has nothing to do with you.

You apply for the non-O visa from the Thai embassy before you travel to Thailand using your personal bank account in any country.

Then once you're in Thailand you use the non-O visa to obtain a bank account that you'll need for the extensions.

Banks will not care anything about a birth certificate. That has nothing to do with a bank account.

Not everyone needs to go. 90 day reporting only requires the passport and the completed form. The person for the report is not required. Anyone can do it for you.

The agent who runs this group offers a 90 day reporting service. Check the pinned posts.

@Michael ********

you must be on the status you are extending during the time the transfers were made in order to use that method to extend. Which means the transfers must have all happened while you were on a retirement visa/extension already in order to use it to apply for an extension. Therefore it's not possible for the first extension. Even if you have 10 years of transfers, it will not be accepted. Only embassy certified income or 800k in the bank.

@Nigel *******

yes. But best to check with your immigration office as some might have further requirements to use that method like proof it's a pension.

@Roberto *****

correct

@Harry *******

you have to have 800k every year.

@Nick *****

the agency that owns this Facebook group offers it.

@Harry *******

to get the visa, it's correct. But that's only 90 days and from the Thai embassy in UK.

Once you're in Thailand immigration will only accept 800k in the bank or embassy verified income. The UK embassy stopped offering this many years ago. That means the only option is 800k in your Thai bank account.

@Harry *******

it's been clarified about 500 times in this group. And the list of requirements immigration gives out says it as well. And it will probably be stamped inside your passport too.
