Yes, I’ve read the standards and agree with your notes, but then stumbled on a few non-resident foreigner banking snippets.

For example, in the country of Georgia I can show up as a non-resident non-citizen and open a bank account.

To me it appears the same can be done in Thailand but non one seems to talk about.

What version of “O”? I applied for a retirement visa and got a 90 “O” Visa which is just classified as other.

I just got an I Visa with no insurance requirement. I chose LUMA since I want coverage while traveling. Good luck.

Do you have any thoughts or opinions about Nahkon Si Thammarat or Pak Phanang. Looks like a cool coastal area getting early morning sunrises.

I still a little new to all the VISA categories, but I'm getting more educated.

I do not have the stamp yet. Just an approved notice from Embassy. I spoke with a music university in Bangkok about taking some Jazz music classes. The school mentioned if I applied and was accepted to the school they assist in getting the education visa. So if I am on a Non-Immigrant "O' VISA retirement/Over 50 VISA I would need to get an education VISA? Is that how it works?

I applied for retirement, but got a 90 Day "O" VISA. It does not say retirement on it.
