Why do you want to make it hard.

You need papers from your bank. So do it where you’re living / where you have your bank.

BS. They probably haven’t done the registration.

What you posted is the law. Yes.

90 days within 6 months max. In one or multiple pieces.

But it isn’t enforced right now.

Many do 60+30 then a few weeks outside and then again.

Some have been warned not to do that again, some have been denied when trying a third time.

So with your 12 days only, you’re fine.

@Neil *******

More Thais than farang fall for the insurance scam. Almost all in my wife’s family have that

Better get a nonO at the next Thai embassy before entering the country. That gives you time to transfer the 800k and let them settle.

Read the rules at the homepage of any Thai embassy.

If I got it right, you won’t have any problem.

First stay will be 60 days, second with extension.

That doesn’t look like you try to stay long term bc of the missing extension on the first stay. And I haven’t heard of ppl having problems with 2 extended stays. Only at the third entry after a short stay outside.

And if you’re staying as a tourist anyway, you can go to another province if the first try is denied.

You’re in the wrong place.

I suggest TripAdvisor or Google maps

Homepage of the embassy in Paris is the one you need to read.

That said…

Get a NonO visa (OA needs a health insurance which you will probably replace later) or at least a tourist visa.

Open an account and put 800k in it (must be transferred so that it says foreign in a statement later!) and never touch it again.

Or

Assert that you will be able to transfer every single month to that thai bank account even if the euro looses 50% of its value.

I’m doing the 800k because I missed the 65k one month on my first try and had to restart (going back out of the country).

About 2 weeks before end of your visa go to the immigration and get your retirement extension. They will need a statement and certification from your bank and other papers.

There are other ways but those are the simple and sure paths to follow.

The immigration of your province will answer all questions (this is Thailand and nothing is written in stone)

Get a NonO visa at the Thai embassy.

If that is approved, you’re good, because the retirement extension (or LTR or whatever you want to get) are done within the country. Nobody will ever know about what happened before.

LTR all the way.

You need one person who can prove USD passive income per year to bring everybody else in.

Passive income can be dividends or pensions.

Google LTR agencies and choose. They charge 50-80k THB on top of the government fees and all react quite fast. (Im just starting LTR myself)
