since I had residency in Oman, I just went to Thai embassy in Oman.

@Chris **********

are you in your country of residency? I was able to do my metv in oman

I did it myself with the help of a Thai friend. I gave her some money for her time.

@Makro ****

it depends on your goal. I am living in Thailand now on nonO age 50+ retirement visa with one-year extension and multiple entry permit. Unlike the visa you had, I don’t have to keep leaving Thailand every 60 days (or 90 if I want to ask for extension)

@Ta ***********

not just thai banks but banks in many countries....

Be sure to check out Krungthong Plaza. From what I can tell, if anyone asks where to go for bigger clothes in Bangkok, they will probably hear about this building.

Also more than likely, you will need to have separate accounts. Also if you are not married, it might be difficult to be beneficiaries on each other’s account is my guess. At my bank, I tried to list a cousin as my beneficiary and they were very confused so I am not sure how they will handle a partner.

@Ken ******

agreed! I did my first NonO one year extension using the 800k thb deposit method in 2023 and started doing my year’s worth of 65k thb per month deposits in the hopes of switching methods when I renew but now I am considering stopping the monthly deposits to avoid any risk of owing taxes for 2024 tax year.

I know some people speculate that no issues but I guess I will wait a year or two to see how the taxes play out. Oh well…

@Malcolm ******

same. I did this with idp and my Oman drivers license
