Is it acceptable to enter Thailand on a 30-day exemption, extend it, and then obtain a tourist visa while showing proof of funds via bank statements?

Mikkel *******

Seems crazy to exchange two times, and loose money on exchange rates and fees two times.. Just take your ZAR with you and exchange in the arrival airport to baht..

Is it necessary to leave Thailand to apply for a 90-day Non-O visa from a tourist visa?

Mikkel *******

Maybe depends on the particular immigration office. I had a friend coming in on a METV last winter, and got a years extension based on being over 50 directly from that in the local immigration office.

should not matter if its an old passport number, if you wound up in an accident they could ID you through it anyway and contact embassy or what not.

Why was I denied entry into Thailand despite having a 60-day visa, a flight out, and $10,000 cash?

10.000$ ?? That doesn't sound correct. That's more than 320.000 baht.. normally its 20.000

Do both partners need to meet the financial requirements for retirement visas in Thailand, or can one rely on the other?

Mikkel *******

I think if they had to, they would not have a problem meeting the financial requirements individually.. But if they can avoid transferring 2x 800.000 to Thailand I think they would prefer that.. And as I understand from Robert Lagas answers, that is possible with the dependent extension based on extension based on over 50.
