So, at least, now you know the answers to all your questions (number of photos, what to copy, how many copies, etc...). You can get prepared with all the requirements. Good luck ! It will work out well if you have all the documents they request. 👍

The best is to ask at the reception of your immigration office.

"Applying" is not the same as "renewing"...

Ask your embassy...

No, Jomtien (sorry...)

I did....

Phil Charles Andre Bangkok Bank does not accept to give me access to e-banking WITHOUT A WORK PERMIT. I am a retiree... :-(

I openened one at Bangkok Bank Kao San Road branch in 2014, on a tourist visa. I mentioned that my intention was to retire in Thailand. Took 5 minutes. Needed my passeport and any other official document proving my ID (i had my Swiss divine licence).

Directly from my Swiss bank account to my Bangkok Bank account through the SWIFT code... Costs 0.5 Swiss Franc (0.5 USD)... Takes 24 hours...

Got my Non-O once in Thailand (2018) : 1. Entry on "ENTRY EXEMPT" (30 days), 2. then applied for "EXTENSION" (30 days). 3. About 20 days before the expiry of this extension, applied for the "Non-O", got it (valid for 3 months), 4. About 3 weeks before expiry of Non-O, applied for "One Year Extension based on Retirement". To extend every year if requirements still met (finance, lease contract, etc.). If you travel outside Thailand, you must ask for a "Reentry Permit" (otherwise you lose your "One Year Extension". Hope this helps. ;-)
