thanks. I will probably wait until I can let my funds seasoned in the account for 2 months to start the process. I need to send a large sum so Thai for business (but need to withdraw in a month) so I was thinking to use that transfer to get the non O started to have something more long term. I have been in Chiang Mai for 6 months, bounced in and out on exempt stamps. On My last 30 days extension, the immigration agents passed my passport around, discussed for a long time before granted me my stamp. That was nerve wracking
