@Roberto ********
That way your 1 year extension isn't valid anymore. Good luck with that move.

@Roberto ********
It's about relatively new accounts, nothing else. You sound like a rabid scaremonger.

@Todd ********
Why park those 800k in a savings account when there are for example Fixed Deposit Accounts? It sounds like you think 800k baht is a fortune?

@Nick ***********
He's totally clueless. He's just rambling about visas and illegal actions by agents and opening an account on a 90 days Non-O is not possible etc etc.

Do you have a Thai bank account? You need to transfer 800k baht to that account. No need for an agent if you meet the requirements.

@Nick ***********
No, he asked if there was another option, a long term visa based on retirement instead of the 90 days Non-O and the 1 year extension at immigration. The only one is the O-A.

@Stephen ********
One official requirement for the Non-O-A is the health insurance. The main differences between a Non-O and the Non-O-A is the fact you can only apply for the O-A back home at an Embassy/consulate and you don't need 800k baht in a Thai bank account.

Don't you know how a 1 year extension at immigration works?
Max *************
@Stephen ********
The 1 year O-A applied for in your country. But it comes with a mandatory health insurance and a couple of "odd" requirements.

Those guys don't have valid extensions if they're doing what you described.
