ok stuart. If I come back…. How easy or difficult would it be for me to start over on a new non-o ( realising that I lost a couple of years for my permanent residency) ?

So basically: i entered Thailand :

On the 1 of January 2021. Did 15 days of quarantine, and discovered a tumour and had a drone with me. I had to go hospital, had to go nbtc for registration of the drone and had to find a bank to open my bank account for my visa. Except for the hospital visits, I failed for both of the rest. After many communication with nbtc, I also got that sorted……. Left me with a to late opening of a bank account. Obviously the agent fixed this for me. I i is now still haunting me ☹️

@Stuart ********

I entered Thailand in 2020 on a non o . Had to use an agent because of time constraints. Had to use the agent again last year because ( of the previous time constraints) my money had not been 1 full year in my bank account. This year… guess you now by now.

@Stuart ********

i have, and i’m on a retirement extension for almost 2 years now. Just the transfer of my stamps cannot be done in Bangkok where I have my tm30… probably in chonburi they will turn me down because I have no tm30 there…..

By the way: i am in Thailand with my wife, getting married this month 😊

@Stuart ********

just at immigration? Why would it be so easy after all I have experienced? Enlighten me please 🙏

@Stuart ********

not an option as I would have to apply for a new non o visa abroad…, any other suggestions are more than welcome… (I still remember how difficult it was to get that non-o visa)

I have everything sorted except for the fact that during covid, I was not able to open a bank account and transfer the money in 14 days (15 days quarantine….)

@Stuart ********

you must be joking….

@John *********

that is what they said… ( we not have a chonburi stamp). Still odd and a terrible experience though…
