I only need to show the available funds in my Australian bank, I can't open a Thai bank account until I get this non immigrant O 90 day visa and re-enter Thailand, then I can apply to open a Thai bank account and deposit the 800,000 Thai baht.

the application is based on a retirement visa over 50.

The other documents I mentioned I will use for the 12 month extension based on retirement over 50.

Laos is the best option for you.

Thank you for all the contributors to my post, you have all been very helpful.

I clearly understand now that I must apply for the non-O immigrant visa outside of Thailand and then re-enter Thailand on the 90 day visa and open the Thai bank account, then deposit the 800,000 Thai baht, then wait for approx 2 months and apply for the extension for upto 12 months on the non-O visa.....then renew the visa every 12 months and attend immigration every 90 days for reporting.

Does this sound correct?

Cheers

Vaughn.
