I thought you could only apply and receive a non-O visa outside of Thailand?

Seems they’re really cracking down on the TV and the exempt arrivals.

Not difficult, but they don’t make it easy, either.

I only needed my passport, retirement visa, rental agreement, and TM30 to get my Bangkok Bank account in Bangkok. Nothing mentioned about insurance. I did have my Thai wife with me who did most of the talking.

You’re not supposed to use a tourist visa to stay long term. Feel lucky you got away with it this long.

The agent I used for my first one was 1500 baht. 300 baht is a steal. Let them do the first then do it online after that.

Bangkok bank only needed to see my long stay visa (non-OA) and rental agreement to open one for me.

If they know you have a retirement visa, they’ll also know why you don’t have a departure date.
