I've just done this as Tod has said, the lady did say to me and the wife to try and add money (100Bht) to your account weekly or 1 time a month, but I don't think this is a requirement just advice from her.
I've just arrived in Thailand a week today from UK, I was coming to stay longtime getting a retirement visa after the 30 day exempt, flow out from London with Eva nobody asked about onward travel or immigration at Bangkok but that was with Eva. I had the same worries as you so I booked an onward travel ticket that cost me £12, this gives you a flight booking that lasts for 48hrs not that you can use the flight it's just a e-ticket (Google onward travel ticket) hope this helps if you want to contact me personally I will send you the screenshot of the ticket
Ok thanks for the info i think this is going to be the best stress free way and me and the wife can go to immigration at a later date to find out what needs to be done, Thanks again have a good day/night
Do I need to change visa to be able to get the retirement visa, I remember I did last time but that was a online visa and I am sure had to change it to some other visa
So if i can't apply for a visa online as i thought, i must wait till after the 18th Nov to do an online visa or get a visa on entry then go to immigration office to start it all over again
