You can only initially apply for a 3 month ' retirement' visa- they are then extended by 12 months at a time, assuming all requirements are in place. They are not new visas, just perpetual extentions on the original 3 months.

Much easier if you keep it going like this, precedent seems to be important.

dont think I'd risk having that black mark against my name, should rules chnage in the future. 900 baht is nothing.

Not only that, but early August is not 2 months before Sep 26 anyway- are you sure thats not the issue ?

Its the OA visa that needs health insurance. A Non O ( ' retirement') needs banked funds or a guaranteed monthly income into a Thai bank

The fine is pretty paltry anyway, isn't it?

many people dont even bother with this, I haven't got one yet. Just took my blue book and deeds

This is just a guess, but doesn't it need to be a current account balance and not in investment accounts? The idea is you have this money to draw upon to support yourself (however you actually do it in reality)

you are obliged to inform the government of any change of address independently of anything to do with visas . Its part of your 90 reporting cycle, not visa application. I've just done it myself.
