It is impossible for chat GPT to predict movements in the markets. The human beings who programed it can't so neither can the AI.

@Peter ******

that's never happened to me in 25 years. Try getting up early in the morning. 😃 My last yearly extension renewal took 20 minutes.

Why would anyone want to use an agent? You can do everything yourself.

@Dave ********

although I now have a Thai driving license, I had been driving on my British license in Thailand for about 10 years when I had an accident. Someone drove into the side of my car and totaled two doors which had to be replaced along with expensive body work. I showed the insurance company my British license and they didn't bat an eyelid and paid for every single baht of the damage which was around 50,000 baht.

@Ritz ******

it's not an extension, it's a new Visa. A few days before your non-visa 30-day exemption expires go to immigration and apply for a non-o visa which is valid for 3 months. Tell them you want to convert your 30 day entry to a non-o visa and then convert that after 2 months which is how long you will have to have the money in the account for a minimum to a one-year retirement extension.

@Ritz ******

you are not getting an extra 2 months. The 30 days is finished and you get a new visa which you will have to pay for and then you have to wait until it's been running for 2 months to seed the money in the account before you can apply for the one year extension for retirement.

You could do what I did which is to come in without a Visa on a 30 day entry. Then go to immigration and convert that to a Non O Visa a few days before the 30-day expires, seed 800k that you will need to deposit in a bank account for 2 months and then go back to immigration after 2 months and get a one-year extension based on retirement. Then renew every year. You don't even have to leave the country.

There was a time about 15 years ago when I used to get on a plane from Phuket to Singapore in the morning, have some lunch, do a bit of shopping in Changi airport and get the flight back to Phuket in the late afternoon for another 30-day entry. Rinse and repeat one month later. Those were the days.

@Alan ********

honestly I wouldn't worry. I've been getting visas for 25 years in T-shirts and shorts.

@Alan ********

shorts and a T-shirt gets you the same Visa.
