I hope that's the case. Been planning this for years only to have all these changes at the last minute. I have no problem with them freezing the money for 4 months. I currently plan on parking the 800k for the entirety of my stay in Thailand.

Will a felony record affect my eligibility for a non-immigrant O visa to retire in Thailand?

Jay *******

If applying in the US for the non immigrant O, they do not ask like has been said. Very easy process. Very few questions asked and you will be ready to get a bank account when you land in Thailand
