Greg Alexander it is worth mentioning, with regards to the financial requirement, following using an agent to make the deposit, if at any point you add the ฿800k baht, to your Thai account yourself, and it's been in the account for the previous 12 months, prior to your next extension of stay, you could then do the extension yourself, without starting the whole process again.

Peter Beaumont it is irrelevant who owns the land, if you have a legally binding lease, usafruct or superficies agreement, and you haven't broken any of the terms and conditions, you tell them to leave they are trespassing, if they refuse, contact your solicitor/lawyer, you would probably need to take it to court, and involve the head village man and the police, I can tell you one thing, I wouldn't just walk away without a fight, some Thai families, think they can just do anything they want to, even if you buy land and a house in your wife/girlfriends name, and don't have a lease, you can still take it to court, but you need to have proof, that you gave her the money to purchase it, to have any chance of recovering any of the lost money, the court can force the sale of the house and land, to recover any debt.

If leases, superficies or a usafruct agreement, is completed at the land office, and your name is added to the back of the chanote, it is legally binding, you basically cannot be kicked off the land, I think a lot less expat foreigners, are get ripped off these days, with all the online information, I bought my car from a dealership, they completed the name transfer in the blue book, into my name at the DLT, I just needed to get a resident certificate, the bike I bought privately, and did that myself, of course all the documents needed to be present, if it's a foreigner you also need visa copies etc.

Peter Beaumont a land usafruct agreement, is apparently for a lifetime, he can own the house himself, if it all went wrong, in theory he could sell the house below market value, and transfer the land lease to another person, someone would buy it cheaper, just to live the rest of there life in the house, cars and motorbikes, you can buy in your own name, and sell them yourself, you would still need to be in Thailand to achieve it.

So much mixed up information in this post, people commenting that have no idea of what exactly is needed, edit your post, to include what it is exactly you need, for instance do you have a thai Bank account, do you need the initial 90 day Non O, and 12 month extension, or is it a renewal, do you want a single or multiple re-entry permit? 😳

Can you not speak to the condo owner, and get a copy of his/her ID to attach to the lease?? You seem to already have all the documents required, to open an account yourself, if you insist on doing it yourself, you just simply need to keep trying different banks, if it becomes impossible, just contact the Thai visa centre in Bangkok, they can assist you to get a Thai bank account opened, when it's combined with doing the retirement visa, contact them and discuss your options.
