I think basically people are being confused by your terminology. You do not do a 90 day reporting on your original non-o visa. That is only a 90 day visa. After the money is put in your bank account two months to the date after that you then need to go to immigration and apply for a one year extension. You can travel in and out of Thailand as often as you like as long as you get a reentry permit before you leave. If you intend on doing it often, then it makes sense to get a multi reentry visa. It is up to you to check to make sure that they see your reentry permit and stamp your passport appropriately because if they stamp you in on a Visa exempt it cancels your visa extension. .

If you qualify for multiple different ones, look and see if you can qualify for the LTR wealthy pensioner. You have to get insurance, but you only have to check in once a year, your tax exempt you don’t need reentry visas, etc..

@Jim ******

right but his questions about the kids who don’t have visas and presumably now cannot get them.

The cutoff for mine seems to be about 100,000 baht. And oddly sometimes it’ll say a few days. And if I cancel and do it again same everything it’ll say instant

I’m curious how you applied from visa exempt… you had a bank account with 2 months of money banked?

@Yo***

maybe but what percent of rentals are currently owned by foreigners vs Thai? Unless it is a very high percent which I doubt then nothing much will change.

@Jeremy *******

well ltr is explicitly tax exempt (except the worker one which is capped at 17%)

If you were talking about transferring your money to Wise, before you get the non o visa from outside the country, do not do that. It does not count as a bank and will not be accepted. Get the visa with money evidence from your foreign account. Then enter Thailand with the visa. Get a phone number most modern phones will take more than one eSIM at a time and plans with the phone number are pretty cheap and you definitely need a number, immigration has asked for it as well. Once once you have the phone number, long-term visa, and rental paperwork you can go get a bank account, which you need to do right away because you need two months of money in it. You can use whatever you want to transfer the money, though as said above, Wise has the best rates. Once that’s done, and your money has sat for two months, and you have 30 days or fewer left on your initial 90 day visa, you can go get a one year extension

@Wayne ******

you can but why would you want to when it’s completely free to fill it out online and then not have to go spend 10 minutes filling it out by hand

@Steven ******

passive income is for the ltr visa.
