at the time I was working and living outside my home country and I was very far from my home country

@Rok *******

sadly my story was not based in your country

@Rok *******

I tried to get my NonO in a different country where I had residency prior to my move here. Each time I went to the embassy, they found a reason to say no. I kept fixing what needed to be fixed and after 13 visits, they basically begged me to just deal with NonO when I reached Thailand since they would only give me 6 month multiple entry visa. Basically I was in a country where I think I might have been the first person to ever ask for nonO.

@Jack ******

when I started using it here in Thailand in 2023, it was an option but I have not needed to do a recent transaction

Have you tried wise? The last time I did my transfer, there was an option that addressed this scenario.

You would likely need to start the renewal in a 30-45 day window prior to expiration. Check with your province.

hehe moving back to USA is plan z for me. Hehe but I loved living in some other countries besides Thailand. Numbeo.com is great for getting ideas.

@Paul ******

I won’t bother with the transfer since I am in a situation where that could result in a Thai tax bill.

I just think of the money in the bank as my moving out of Thailand money if anything drastic changes in my life.

@Paul ******

agreed. I just leave it and have a separate Thai bank account for my daily spending so that there is never a need to touch my 800k Thb.

but in some countries, the bank allows you to assign a payable on death beneficiary and a will is not necessary in that scenario. My bank in Thailand does not have this same process and so I have to get a will here even though I don’t need one in my home country.
