Will I encounter issues at passport control in Thailand if I can't provide a return date while intending to retire?

Recently applied for non O , marriage visa thru the consulate in Los Angeles. They would not issue my visa without a onward ticket. Bought a 1 way burner ticket and all was fine.

Do I need to file paperwork for having over $10,000 in a Thailand bank account as a US citizen?

Greg ***********

You are to file a FBAR if you have ownership (full or part owner) of a foreign account that has had $10,000 balance at any time during the year. It's a simple form required by the Treasury Dept. I beleive.

@Eddie *******

They may have only charged you 15 E but check the exchange rates. That's where the bank makes it's money

What are the steps to apply for a 1-year retirement visa in Thailand for expats?

Are the insurance companies listed on the Immigration web site the only companies that are accepted? I have insurance from a company outside of Thailand that specifically covers me in Thailand with far greater coverage than the required limits. Anyone know if this will be acceptable?

I am out of the country at the moment. On an OA visa that expires in March. My current insurance policy expires in December. I am returning in October. Have been told that I need to show my insurance policy to immigration at the airport and my "allow to remain date" will be my insurance expire date not my visa expire date. Is this correct?
