, you can go there only after you check in for the flight and clear the security screening.

You can access the re-entry permit counter from airside after you are stamped out if you go to another departure gate. Just tell the officer you need a re-entry permit.

Go to International departure Gate 2 when going to the security check at Suvarnabhumi airport. Go to the right at the bottom of the escalator after the security check. It's the easiest way to find the re-entry permit counter (they put the name "Re-Entry Visa").

You can bring a filled TM.8 form to save 5 mins to fill the form there.

You can bring a passport-size photo to save an extra 200 baht service fee.

funds of 800k baht in your thai bank account to meet the financial requirement for in-country initial non-o visa based on being over 50 must be transferred internationally.

no specific period of seasoning is required for initial visa application at the immigration office. funds in your thai bank account for minimum two months is only for a one-year extention. <- these are what in the police order.

but jomtien and a few other offices require you to have funds for certain amount of time (2 or 3 month) even for initial via appicatipn.

Check with your local office for their requirements

Basic information about timeline is available on LTR official page.

You may or may not be able to submit 90-day report a week earlier. Sure you can try and nothing to lose by trying to do 90-day report with your extension. The worst thing they say would be "no, come back next week".

All and only foreigners (who with foreign passport (s)) need to submit TDAC. Thai nationals don't.

That means, if she enters Thailand using a Thai passport, she doesn't need to do TDAC. In case she enters Thailand with a UK passport, she needs to submit TDAC with UK passport information.

Bank letter can be up to 7 days old at chaengwattana.

The banked money to meet the financial requirement for a one-year extension for retirement doesn't have to be international transfers. Just needs to meet the seasoning period for 2 months prior to the application.

International transfer is only for the initial in-country visa application for retirement.

LTR is Long-term Resident visa, not Long-term retirement visa.
