I managed exactly the way I wanted to cheap Charlie. Just because you're broke doesn't mean everyone else is

@Max ************

because I don't want to waste my time doing paperwork. I didn't work the same job for 40 years to retire and do paperwork. You do what works for you and I do what works for me, it's all good. If you cant afford an agent to do it for you, that's ok. Do what works for you. There is more than one option.

@Max ************

where did you read that? Want to borrow my glasses? He's asking what his options are.

I don't remember because I was paying for multiple services and the rates are changing often with all the banking changes. It wasn't enough to change my mind and I had an account in 45 minutes, no shopping around.

Come on your 90 day Non immigrant O. Get a thai sim card and the paper you need from them to register your phone number with the bank. Take those and open your bank account shortly after arriving in Thailand. Transfer your money.

Traveling while you are trying to get set up may cause you problems because you will get a new tm30 everywhere you stay. Not sure how immigration will look at that.

I was able to do everything within a week including getting my one year extension, but I used an agent. I did bank my own 800k. I was able to get the bank letter quickly because I agreed to freeze the money for 4 months. Hope that helps

you can pay for multiple entry when you apply for the one year extension for the non O. I don't think there is a limit on the number of years that you can do the yearly extension. Just received my 1st year extension of my non O. I used an agent but banked my own funds. It was much easier than I thought it would be and much quicker.

@Max ************

no troubles, I'm not using some random Thai girl

@Max ************

most definitely. I let Thai girl deal with most of it. Farang just watch and shake his head 555
