Do I need a 12-month rental agreement to open a bank account in Thailand on an O visa?

@Henrik ****

That's not true at all. You can get a Residence Certificate on a 60 days tourist visa.

Max *************

Officially, you can't use a hotel or guesthouse as a permanent address. Some Bangkok Bank branches still wants a so called Residence Certificate and they don't ask to see a contract. I've had bank accounts in 3 provinces and they never asked for my contract.The visa and a proper address is most important.

Can I enter Laos again on land once I have completed my Non-B visa paperwork, considering I'm currently visa exempt?

Max *************

When you have your Non-immigrant B visa, you can leave for Laos using a re-entry permit. Fyi, you're not on a visa now,but a visa exempt.

@Ron *******

The truth? Or do you mean your truth? I've been here for years and I haven't had any problems what so ever at immigration. I know loads of people here with the same experience.

Can I enter Thailand on a 30-day exemption and then use my 60-day visa after a trip to Kuala Lumpur?

Max *************

No,you can't officially choose to enter on a 30 days visa exempt if you have a valid 60 days tourist visa. But you can always leave Thailand and come back on a 30 days visa exempt. Then extend it another 30 days at the local immigration office.

What should I do at immigration when returning to Thailand with a retirement visa and multi-entry re-entry permit?

Max *************

@David ********

If you're talking about the O-A Visa based on retirement, you can only apply for it back home. But,there's a mandatory quite expensive health insurance involved plus a medical check.

Should I select LTR (P) while applying for my E-visa to retire in Thailand?

Max *************

No, you don't. You have 2 choices, the 90 days Non-immigrant O Visa based on retirement OR the O-A Longstay Retirement Visa which you can only apply for back home. But you need a quite expensive mandatory health insurance plus a medical check.

@Ron *******

I'm staying in Jomtien and my annual extensions takes about 4 minutes every year inside immigration. And when doing TM30 reports, you can self report, which isn't allowed in every province in Thailand. I don't know what you're complaining about.
