Thailand is my permanent home. I'll only be leaving to visit relatives and friends in the US maybe once a year or less. So, the 45 day visa won't do it for me. Thanks.

I understand I will be starting from scratch. I moved to Thailand in Sept 2019 and never left until this spring to sort out my affairs and house in the U. S. I do have an individual bank account in Thailand and transferable least 65k baht each month. Some months I didn't do a transfer when the exchange rate wasn't favorable but made it up a little later. I also have more than 800k baht in the bank, all of which will show as transfer from my U.S. bank (as a foreign transfer) so the financial aspect shouldn't be a problem. Are any of the other requirents for the OA applicable to the O? Like background check or health certificate?

Thanks so much for your help and timely response.
