Thanks James. I realised what I had done when I was planning my dates for my next trip in November. I'll make sure to get those dates right.

Thomas Puskar if the information was clear and easy to understand then I would agree with you.

When I asked a question on the immigration website I got no reply.

That’s why the two way medium of Facebook is often a good pathway to knowledge.

Thanks for your contribution anyway.

ok mate. Clearer now. Thanks. If you want to close off commenting you can.

@Robert ******

yes the reason and monetary requirements are different but I still don’t understand why he needs the border bounces.

I know they are different visas and we have different circumstances.

I more concerned about what I need to do to retire in Thailand with the least amount of hassle.

The money in the bank is not an issue at the early stage of my retirement although it could be later.

thanks for leaving this open a little longer, it’s helping me and I hope others might benefit.

@Robert ******

thanks mate, that’s doable. A friend uses the O visa married to a Thai, but he often seems to need a border bounce and a return home once a year to renew.

Not real sure he’s doing it right 🙂

Thanks guys, that’s clearer. O-A money in the bank or is that O? (I mean the 800k)
