Simon Adams I'm aware of this method with agencies, but I'm not ready to use it. I'm thinking of applying for an O visa abroad and using it to open a Thai bank account, then funding it for a year. I would have to leave Thailand before the end of the 90 days, spend about six months abroad, and return with a new O visa, wait three months, and then apply for a one-year extension based on monthly transfers of 65,000 baht for a year. Does this seem realistic to you?
