Kind of. Thailand doesn't need to "suck" the money out of stupid expats. They willingly give their life savings to Thai rice farmer girls from Isaan, building them and their families houses, and then getting dumped! 😂

@Glenn ****
Still have to check in once a year

@Mark **********
Nope. You're WRONG. Nothing to do with exiting the country. It's most definitely called a "Re-entry Permit" ✅

Are you trying to live in Thailand on free tourist entries? This ain't going to end well

@Jordan ****
You show them the email on your phone. How easy is that? You don't want them to stare at an email? 😆

@Willem ***
Correct. I was pointing out that it's possible to use the 65k on the first year of the non-O

@Kool ******
Yes I left my money in Australia earning 11% tax free and used the "insurance declined" proviso of the OA to get out of buying a useless policy! It's a no-brainer!
Jim ********
@Kool ******
Yes unless switching from OA, which is how I avoided the 800k lump sum

I switched from OA visa which I'd had for two years and had transferred 65k per month for almost two years. I did an out/in, got the non-o visa and went straight onto 65k transfers with that. Never needed the 800k lump sum
