exactly. With at least a 23 hour flight, and at least 12 hours of time difference(and. Crossing the date line. It is probably gonna be the 15th on arrival

Thanks for everyone's help! Got it submitted. Other than the interface and document combining, the only other issue i had was from the consulate's instructions, since I was using a listed Thai insurance company i just needed to upload a copy of the policy(item 6) Problem came when the E-Visa system would not let me leave item 7, the foreign insurance certificate(which I should not have needed) blank.

My insurance broker provided a certificate, but not sure if this is a known thing, or something that the system needs to fix after condensing the visa types a few months ago.

This is good to know

@Sue ********

thank you Sue, I combined everything. Hopefully they don't have a problem with me sending it all.

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.

@Nongnuch *******

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.
