Get a Thai statement and you see if it’s ok.

Sending from Wise to my kasikorn account explicitly shows “foreign” but only in Thai, not in English version.

@AJ ********

Yes. You need to do the extension of stay within the duration of your visa.

So you will need to get a new visa for the second time and extend it from there.

I did that too because I messed up the 65k monthly income the first time ;)

(I can’t recommend this alternative to the 800k. I switched after 2 years)

I have asked my immigration over 10 years ago and they said I don’t need to (maybe because I’m married to Thai?).

Give it a try.

@Paul *****

Everybody can do if they meet the requirements.

Get the nonO visa online.

Enter the country.

Immediately open bank account and send 800k from abroad.

After 80 days Goto immigration and ask what exactly they want to see. (Bank statement and certificate, a passport foto, book bank with a transaction of the same day, ID of Thai wife, your passport,…).

Get those things and return with 1900 baht.

If you plan to exit more than 3 times per year, get a multi reentry permit.

@Michael *******

Why do you pay that much?

I just did my EOS yesterday as I’ve been doing it for over 10 years now. Costs 1900 baht and 5-20 minutes waiting (and time doesn’t count anyway for a retiree ;) )

The EOS costs 1900 baht. You get it while staying in Thailand on certain types of visa.

A visa is the paper that allows you to enter the country.

What are you talking about?

@Bipin ******

Ouch!

So you had to get one for each holiday? That sucks.

Why is your current insurance not usable for that?

I had to get a new one because Swiss insurances can’t be used once I deregistered in Switzerland. So I got an expensive one with coverage even for a heart transplant (better safe than sorry).

Everything outside is way more expensive than a Thai sim/esim.

I had prepaid AIS for years (and now for daughter) with reduced speed but unlimited data. /4Mbps, 1 is enough for YouTube, 4 is ok for 2 devices on Netflix.

(I have switched to postpaid now for the watch)

@Jordee *****

Good. Didn’t know that exists. I did skipper in my 20s in the Mediterranean and once in the Caribbean. Was a lot of fun.
