@John ********
fact is simply you have to stay in the country you apply. When you want to break rules just find out yourself what can happen. According the grouprules of this group, advice for illegal actions should not be given here.

When you need to do second 90 day reporting with DTV this means you did first one too soon or did in country extension?

@Wannikea ********
It is you that don't know the rules and then think others don't know what they are talking about. you should read the requirements yourself before you put misinformation here and are rude to others!

Non o based on being over 50 is definitely possible without having money on a Thai bank account, you can also use the option of monthly income.

non-o does not need tying money to a bank, DTV does tie 500K

OP is in his home country, so this is irrelevant.

From now on you will have to carry both passports for the rest of the validity of the visa.

It would have beean easier to get new passport first and then apply for visa.

"Not needed if leaving Thailand" is simply wrong information, you mean "not checked normally when leaving Thailand" I assume.

Breaking rules is never a good advice, but everybody has to decide for themselves if they want to take that risk.

Indeed a lot of people here obviously plan to abuse the visa once they got approved. That might also be the reason a lot of people do care if there are checks implemented at entry of the country. Legal applicants will have no problems with checks.

I think that is the only good reason not to choose non-o. People telling DTV is cheaper forget to calculate the cost of continuous softpower and trips to renew the visa
