@Graeme *****

ok great thank you.

All things considered...I'm still confused lol but think I will get a new 90day non o.

I have a. Bank account so as soon as I get back I can find it with the 800k, source suitable medical insurance and do a year extension.

My real worry was I would have problem getting the 90 day non o on UK if I want to return in four months and seems most think I would be ok with that.

Thank you all for your comments

@Graham *****

thanks for idea.

This is one of the issues I find constantly happens is that it seems to be office to office or even officer to officer that interpret Thai laws about visas differently...makes it so hard to understand as different people clearly get slightly different scenarios so neither are right and neither are wrong 😂

@Graham *****

thank you for your input..it's amazing how many comments bring up other issues which is why I love this group (most of the time)

@Ally ***********

...thank you so much...I hadn't even consider the under consideration issues so just leaving and start again from UK as per my original idea sounds best.

Many thanks

@Brandon ***********

thank you very much I just want to do whatever I have to to make sure I get back lol. I think my plan is ok but some reassurance is always good.

@Anna ********

non o 90:day retirement....exactly as immigration in Udon Thani advised was what is needed. Plus passport,obviously, tenancy agreement and even residents certificate letter from immigration office. I don't doubt you have knowledge and keep up, but factually,your statement that it is not a problem to open an account if all is in order is wrong. I just wanted the person you are advising to know that. No insult intended.

@Anna ********

I'm sorry but that simply is not true in every city and every bank.

I took absolutely everything necessary to the three big banks in udon Thani a month ago, Bangkok Bank,SCB and krasokorn all refused.

Krungsri opened an account for me with exact same paper that I took to the other three banks. So whilst for you it may have been simple it's not the case now, certainly not where I am. If it is simple with the right paperwork etc then all three banks that refuse would have opened an account for me and not just the fourth bank I tried.

@Wannikea ********

yes he didn't get it revoked..just couldn't renew. Again is just someone I knew and not my own experience.
