What's wrong with 4G on your mobile. Where do you think the train is getting its signal from to distribute as Wi-Fi?

Although my UK bank is happy to send me a replacement debit card to Thailand there is no way that will happen the other way around with Thai Banks.

These are the steps I took. I came in on a 30 day exemption and then applied for a non-O. I then seeded the 800k for 2 months and then converted the visa into a one year stay based on the retirement.

@Peter ********
he means before the expiry of the non O (winding down) you apply for a one-year extension based on retirement.

@Steve ******
if you're staying here long term you have to go to the immigration office every year anyway to renew the retirement extension. And then there are 90-day reports. Last time I renewed my extension it took about 20 minutes. So whatever way you do it you can't avoid the immigration office.

Easy is not a word I would ever use in 25 years of dealing with Thai embassies abroad.

I think it took me no more than 30 minutes messing around filling out a form in an immigration office in Thailand.
