Tod- So to clarify, because I'm easily muddled with stuff, I will start my 65K deposits into a Thai account ASAP. This will start in Jan 2022, so Jan 2023 I will be eligible for Non O, correct? I will be coming back to Thailand after US visit this summer with 4-5 months to go before fulfilling the 12 month deposit history. I could wait it out in the US for the needed time period, but I want to return to Thailand before then. My best option since I won't have the 12 deposits needed, is to get the O-A visa (using funds in US account for financial requirement) and return/enter on that? There are no 6 month visa options to tide me over, I don't think. Thank you for your help.
