Rick Zobel So came in with a flawed TDAC and got turned back to correct it? Strikes me the lady was doing her job?

Simon Bloodworth Don’t take advice from dick heads with locked profiles.

Mike Smith Money launderer?

Rae Wang Maybe your name structure gives an impression that is not too favourable at the moment? Haven’t been to Cambodia recently have you?

Martin Backham Your choice but not mandatory for people less cautious.

Joe Smith my immigration office told be that if there was small monthly activity on the account with my 800k in, then they wouldn’t require the actual annual bank letter and would be content with the bank statement. Specifically every month had to show activity. I make small deposits. Of course this is specific to the Immigration office and you should check with them before renewal.

Allan Rawai I’ve found that the whole process usually depends on when you get your luggage rather than the wait at immigration. Unless you’ve travelled in at business class or higher, it’s a lottery when your bags will arrive. Some airlines hotshot specific bags to the belts. Alternatively there are companies who will pick up your bags and keep or forward them on to where you want them.

Marx Grout The girl can tell the landlord and the landlord can submit it or maybe the girl is registered with Immigration at that address and can submit it herself.

Wade Freier You won’t achieve it in 3 weeks without an agent. Normally you need to come in on a Non-O 90 day retirement visa, open a bank account (simplified version), deposit 800k baht and wait 2 months for that to season prior to applying for the 12 months extension based on retirement. You could also buy a single re-entry permit and once the 800k baht is deposited, leave and return when it is seasoned (within the validity period of your Non-O visa) and apply for your 12 month extension based on retirement.

Chris Richards why go the OA route rather than Non-O? No health insurance or criminal checks required. Simpler process entirely. OK you have to put 800,000 baht in a Thai bank, but if the annual interest off 800,000 baht is crucial to your financial stability, maybe you should reconsider retiring abroad!
