@Michael ******
Why is it nonsensical to have a line printed in your pass book with the balance meeting the requirements dated the day you make the application?

@Mike *****
It was abused years ago with many fake marriages so, as a result, the process has been tightened up considerably. We now reap the consequences.

@Andrew *******
or switch to the 65k monthly transfer method after year 1

There is no such limit but each Embassy makes their own rules on whether or not to issue you with a visa.

@Jeff ******
then you recycle the transferred funds by sending the excess back every few months for subsequent transfers

@Marine ********
The OP was saying about potential problems and your response was the ATM fee so it follows you regard that as a problem

@Jeff ******
Why have you maintained the 800k for all these years? Don't you regularly bring money into Thailand to live off because you could have switched to the 65k monthly transfer method a long time ago?

@Frank ***************
there is no mandatory insurance for the Non-O extension, only for a Non-OA extension
Graham ******
@Robert *********
You can't get a Non-OA from inside Thailand as it has to be in your country of residence but you can also get the Non-O based on income if applying from there

How long are you intending to stay and, more importantly, are you planning on getting the 12 month extension? Also consider if you start again on a Non-O your annual extension will be on the date when that Non-O expires every subsequent year, will that be an issue for you?
