Not really understand y'r question/problem, but remote controls you can easy find on Lazada.

For Non imm. O you never needed a return flight.

Aha. Okay !!

@Jan *****************

Think y'r right but better ask his imm. office. I remember that I read on the visa advice group, that sometimes they want the 800k฿ on the bank for the first extension.

@Stephen ******

And with all the stuff changing y'r reason for extension, after that, don't forget the re-entry permit again.

@Randy *******

Ofcourse an Agent is possible. But I never used one.

If I where you, I would come in on a Non imm O based on retirement from your home country. Then walk quite some bank brances with your girlfriend, to open a bank account on your name, best in y'r home area. I read the Kasikorn- and Bangkok bank are the bit less difficult ones when you have a non O visa. If you managed that, start transfering more than 65k฿ every month on that Thai bank account as international transfer from your home country, starting e.g. 1 december. You need money in Thailand anyway.

With your timing it's a bit difficult to come to 12 months transfering that 65k฿ but possible.

Put 800k฿ as international transfer on your Thai bank account (I understand you not like that, but it should only be for 1 year) and after 60 days stay or so, ask for a year extension with re-entry permit half january, so when you come back, the year extension is still valid till half january 2026. Keep transfering that 65k฿. When asking for the second year extension e.g. end of december 2025 or beginning of january 2026, take care you already have transfered that 65k฿ for 12 months (from 1 december 2024 to 1 december 2025 should do it) and you can go for that and take the 800k฿ from the Thai bank again. (If you want, even transfer it back to your home country bank).

Just an idea. Good luck 🙏

Found it.

I don't know if it's still valid, but there is/was a form that if your insurance company accept it to sign, there are imm. offices who accept that form.

Don't know really. But I think the remarks further on 'cuts wood'. So better 'safe then sorry'.

I don't think so. I only needed it for getting my yellow housebook. In there is y'r mother and fathers name.
