You're saying you can't read or write?

@Steven *****

You shouldn't listen to people here on FB. So many clueless people here. Just because they don't know anything about visas and how to open bank accounts, they have to complain about it.

@Steven *****

Why would the Non-O be a hassle as long as you meet the requirements and have been able to open a bank account and transfer the 800k?

@Erez *********

It's not a catch 22. Do you even know what catch 22 means?

@Steven *****

Ok.I'm quite happy with paying 1,900 baht/year as a retiree. Have been doing it for years. Have a nice day. 👍

@Andrew *******

If it's not possible to open a bank account at the moment when on a DTV is not same as banks are closing older accounts. It's not the same thing. FYI, I've been around in Thailand since 1989,in Pattaya/Jomtien since 1994,and I know a helluva lot more about banks and bank accounts then you will ever know. You shouldn't spread false information here on FB.

@John ******

I've been around in Thailand since 1989,in Pattaya/Jomtien since 1994. You're a newbie and you argue about visas and also don't have a clue about the term permission to stay? I repeat: It doesn't matter how and where you arrived. You're on a permission to stay.Period.

@John ******

The initial visa you arrived on is not the same as being "on a visa" while in Thailand. Get it? You're extending your permission to stay at immigration,nothing else.Have you ever arrived on a visa of any kind? Like for example years ago on a 60 days tourist visa with the sticker in the passport? The first thing that happened at the airport at the passport control,the immigration officer stamped the sticker "USED". Then,same as now,you got the "Admitted until" stamp. That's the permission to stay.

@Nikki ******

It's easier to help you if you come up with correct information about yourself.That's crucial when it comes to visas.

@Ian *******

Is 650k correct? Last time I saw the price online it was 900k.Correct me if I'm wrong and they've adjusted the price.
