Fine 500 baht pr day, max 20,000 baht.

GF doesn’t give you any advantage unless you’re married. If you’re passed 50 years and can meet the financial requirements you can apply for a Non O at you’re local immigration if you have minimum 15-21 days on your stamp. Most convenient to apply for a 90 days Non O at the Thai embassy at home before you leave.

Go to your local immigration and get handed over their requirements as Brandon states. This is the general requirements for a regular Non O visa based on retirement at the immigration in Bangkok only as you have a clue. You’ll need 15-21 days left on your current stamp depending on where you apply.

No if the person is entitled to visa exemption it’s only to show passport and boarding card in the immigration to get stamped in for 60 days.

Uk passport, but you probably need to use approximately 40 USD at most border to get a visa on arrival. But you’ve got free visa exemption for Malaysia.

Yes because several people entering on a Non O-A visa and do extensions after a while decide to cancel their stay and re-enter from scratch on a regular Non O visa.

You should be aware of if you base your stay on a Non O-A visa and want to apply for an extension of stay in Thailand which most people on a long term stay do, you’ll also need to prove 800K baht the first year and you also maintain a mandatory Thai health insurance requirement for all your future.

Non O-A is a good visa for shorter periods or if you renew it every second year, but for more permanent stay the regular Non O visa without any mandatory health insurance requirements are more convenient.

The most suitable visa is probably to apply for a 90 days Non O visa at home before you leave and do yearly extensions of stay in Thailand with multiple re-entry permit. Then you can come and go as you like as long as your back each year to apply for a new extension.

You don’t need to update your TM.30 at Jomtien immigration if you re-enter to the same address with a Non O-A visa or an extension of stay. (Based on a Non O for retirement).
