At the ATM machine, no need to go to a bank...
Dana *******
Yes, if you do it as soon as you arrive to Thailand. You need to have at least 2 weeks of validity left when you apply for your non-O.

A side question : could you access the app. while you were out of Thailand ? (For example to just check your balance...).

For me, Bangkok Bank, Kao San Road branch, but only once I mentionned that I was in the proces to retire in Thailand. Good luck 🤞

You need at least 15 days validity left on your "30-days exempt". If you just arrived to Thailand and apply for the "Non-O" during the first 2 weeks, you could probably skip the "30-days extension"...

Yes. Arrived on a "Visa Exempt" in Bangkok, applied for an "30-days extension" in Bangkok, then moved to Jomtien, applied for a "3-months non-O" in Jomtien, and then a "Year Extension based on Retirement" in Jomtien. All went very well. Just have patience. The BKB branch in Jomtien issued the bank letter, no problem. ;-)
