after the 2 years out of a O/A visa, you must show the 800,000 THB in a Thai bank if you chose to continue to stay in Thailand on the yearly extension. So unless you return to your home country and apply for the 365-days Non-Imm-O/A visa again, there is no advantage

@Jesper ******

There is NO LIMIT . . . . . you can take out of Thailand an unlimited amount of foreign currency, you just need to declare it if is exceeds 15,000 USD. You are not allowed to take more than 50,000 Thai Baht out of Thailand

this comment shows the low level of your education - if you ever had one deserving this name 😂

you should buy a pair of new optical glasses - it was 13,000 THB, not 3000 THB

use the "bank-to-bank" method offered by services like WISE, Western Union, Remittly or Revolut. Be careful: Do not use methods by credit csrds or cash payouts. ONLY use "home bank account-to-Thai bank account, in most cases by using the service provider's bank account as an intermittent. These is the less costly method and better than a direct SWIFT transfer from your home bank account to your Thai bank account

@Kevin ******

this won't happen when he shows up on a Non-Imm-O visa

if you are over 50 years old and able to put a minimum of 800,000 THB (23,000 USD) into a Thai bank account in your sole name, you can start with the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa and in Thailand apply for the 1-year extension of the stay permit based on retirement in the E-Visa online system of the Thai diplomatic institution in your home country. . That's what I did 17 years ago and I every year I apply for a new 1-year extension of the stay permit, fulfilling the 800,000 THB deposit requirement. The annual fee is 1900 THB, and a single re-entry permit is 1000 THB

I am living on the 12-months retirement extension since 17 years. I spend 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in Europe. I keep the 1-year stay permit active with a single re-entry permit which I always buy on Immigration for 1000 THB right after getting issued the extension stamp

@Paul **********

would you be able to please put the warning into proper English? "You should be stamped in for 90 days, however you should check the stamp immediately right after they hand you the passport back. Sometimes Immigration officers stamp wrongly"

@Stuart **********

it's 1000 THB for single and 3800 THB for multiple re-entry permit on Immigration, and it is 200 THB plus on top of that when you buy it at the airport
