also for the sake of clarity (Not directed at you because I believe you understood intent). "Permanent residence" was in reference to where I would live long enough to receive mail, utility bills, share with family. Not a Visa status. (Someone on here would be all over the syntax and not the intent)

I have the funds to cover the higher proof of funds, much more than the minimum income,would be buying health insurance anyway, have no prohibiting disease, and a clean record.

I start out with no uncertainty of having a 1 year stay. In no rush to season a bank account (although I will get one established). If I decide Thailand is not for me, and decide on another country I simply leave. If I decide to stay, I leave and let my OA expire(while out of the country) when I return, I have a permanent address already established, a bank account already established, and apply for an O.

I was hoping this was the answer. Thank you for the quick reply.

@Wayne *******

If he is arriving in July he won't be a taxed person. Why would the initial deposit need to be marked as an international transfer? It is my understanding that the deposit just needs to be there for a few months, and it is only when trying to prove the 65k baht monthly income that it needs to be an international transfer.

So many opportunities for bad behavior commentary.

If more than hypothetical, "Very sorry for your loss. Best wishes as you move through this troublesome time."

Thai Immigration has joined the chat...

My first thoughts are to rethink whether fate wants me to go to Thailand, reasses my karmic contributions, and ponder if I have any moral or ethical unfinished business to take care of.

My second thought is to reboot my phone and try again.

Brag without telling me you are bragging...

You forgot "Can anybody in the Bangkok area tell me easily obtainable supplies to remove superglue? I have accidentally glued my right hand to my face and head".

I told family not to repatriate me if I am dead.

It is like spending money to ship the beat up, broken down car I used to drive. Then when it is home you bury it or burn it.
