may help to read up on last state of residence ...and establishing residence in a non income tax state before you move. Not sure about virginia but California and a few other states are really strict and do audits to enable them to keep taxing you even after you move.

With a thai address eventually you might have to opt for the Schwab international banking account. This is what they told me over the phone.

Good post. I have extended several times. Usually they tell me to come back in 90 days to show the 800k is still in the bank. But during the last extension they asked me if I plan on withdrawing any of my 800k balance. When I said no they said there is then no need to come back in 90 days to show bankbook balance. Not sure if this was a one-off or standard policy.

@Ellie ******

ok thanks.

I took your advice and tried option #1 ..... Bangkok bank opened 10 am. Received bank documents by 10.15 and then drove 15 minutes to Jomtien immigration.

New Jomtien que position #1 did not have many people in line. And then section 8 extensions called our que # in a few minutes.

Total time from Bank opening to exit IO was 1 hour! (Reason so fast...Combination of going Wed., low season and morning rain and luck?)

They said I can pick up my passport tomorrow afternoon. So I do not have to cancel next week's Vietnam travel plans.

Many US Financial companies do not allow overseas addresses and might cancel your account.

I just kept a us address and had electronic statements online and email alerts about upcoming payments due.

Occasional snailmail is normally just junk mail credit card offers. The US address I kept is a family members. You can use a u.s. postal e-service to see the scanned mail envelope the night before mail is delivered and tell your family what to keep and what to throw out.

For me better to establish a Direct relationship with Hotel because sometimes I needed them test and Morchan app or other issues

Looks like only certain people are eligible for Alternative Quarantine program? Not sure.
