Not sure what a Wise transfer looks like at Kasikorn, but my Social Security transfer shows as “Bahtnet deposit”.

Unfortunately, you should have gotten your 90 day non-O from the evisa website before you entered Thailand.

I hear ya, none of them are perfect. Hope it all works out for you.

I’m going to get the LTR as soon as I get a year of qualifying income behind me, probably around May next year. I think it’s the best visa. I’m currently a non-OA on first extension.

He said he was from the USA, so no embassy letter.

You qualify and can afford an agent for an LTR visa but are worried about the cost of a phone line? Allllrighty then!

They’re looking for felonies, not minor misdemeanors.

You can’t use a joint account. You each need your own account with 800,000 in it.

You’re talking about the AXA EasyCare Visa used by foreigners for obtaining an OA visa. Yes, it works. I used it to get mine over a year ago. It’s pretty cheap, but not very comprehensive to be used as a normal health insurance policy. After I got to Thailand I got a comprehensive health insurance policy from Pacific Cross. You might want to check them out first as their plans also cover the OA requirements, unless you just want to use it to get the OA visa and don’t care about the actual coverage. You kind of get what you pay for. I think my AXA policy was $600 and my Pacific Cross plan was $2400 which included outpatient costs. With only in patient it was about $1800. I’m 63 with no preexisting conditions. If you don’t need insurance then go with the non-O retirement visa that requires no health insurance.

You have to have an account by yourself, without your wife to show the funds for a retirement visa. Joint accounts are not allowed.
