@Pete *****
 Which consulate? I’ve always read the process takes two weeks or less. How long have you been waiting?

 Do you mean if my current balance meets the requirement of about $25,000 that’s good enough? I mean if the account had only a few hundred in for the past month or two?

@Brandon ***********
 So the key advantage to getting a non O now is opening a Thai bank account to make things easier next summer? Or does having a non O also drastically lower the chance of being scrutinized by IO in general?

 I like this idea. After my 90 days expire the visa becomes invalid but can I fly to a neighboring country for a few days then return to Thailand for another 60 days visa exempt? Not trying to abuse the system I just can’t return to the US until May and then I will commit to another non O for long term.

So I need almost 100,000 baht in my account to be approved for a non O retirement visa? But does it have to be seasoned?

@James *******
 This is an issue I am also struggling to understand. I live in Wisconsin and my Thai consulate is in Chicago. Are you saying I will be approved for a non O retirement visa if my final bank balance is 800,000 baht for only a week or two?
