@Martin ****
My landlord should know where to find a video produced by Thai Immigration?

Getting a new passport from the same country will have no impact.

How old are you?

Suggest you consider simply extend your existing visa based on retirement. Maybe use an experienced agent the first time to smooth the process.

I would highly discourage the OA unless you meet certain very limited circumstances.

You and
@Dawn *********
are right. I remember a discussion about this but it was a different (proposed) visa.

I don’t see that in the law.

I think you are conflating LTR visa requirements with 90 day address reporting.

The largest mistake I see is begpackers attempting to open an account with ฿200 and a munged idea of their permenant Thai address.

You have to see it their way. This is a waste of the banks time and money.

Instead, try an initial deposit of ฿50k and a copy of your lease with your address written in Thai.
