Is a police clearance required for obtaining a Non-O retirement visa in Laos?

Wannikea *********

Why are you going to Laos for a Non O? It can be obtained in Thailand at your local immigration office.

Wannikea *********

non O can be applied for from anywhere, including inside Thailand. It's the non OA that must be obtained in your home country or a country that you have permanent residency.

Don't do it. Kuala Lumpur is known for asking for all kinds of crazy documents and long term proof of accommodation in Thailand.

Is there a risk of my Thai bank account being frozen after switching to a DTV visa?

Wannikea *********

Don't listen to all the fear mongers. No your account won't get canceled, yes you might be called in for a KYC interview or updated ID. I've had my account with SCB for 15 years opened up on a tourist visa and the same with my Bangkok bank account only opened up a year ago on a work permit, and now I'm on a DTV. Neither branch manager told me to worry about anything they're looking for criminals.

Do I need to leave Thailand after 6 months on a DTV visa, or are there alternatives?

Wannikea *********

Leaving is better than the option of an in-country extension and the 0.4 meters of paperwork that will be requested. Regardless, you'd have to leave after 360 days anyway.
