What happens if I return to USA for more than 90 Days? Do they know that I am gone because the stamp in my passport? I assume I am still good for the entire year of the retirement visa, even if I am not in the country, correct?

I misunderstood the process and thought I could come into Thailand on Visa exempt and then while there apply for the non-immigrant visa.

I have read so much about how difficult they’re making it to leave the country and come back that I decided to go to Cambodia and apply online for an E visa for the 90 day non-O immigrant. I may have to be here 10 days before I get it., but prices are so cheap. It’s not a problem. In Siem Reap I have a hotel with a rooftop swimming pool and a balcony on my room for $27 (U.S.) a night, near pub Street where all of the fun and night life is.

@Matthew ********

hopefully these are short term measures to make some corrections and things will be back in place that are good for everyone

@Brandon ***********

not what I am reading on several different website websites

@Nick *******

my understanding is the agent cannot get you a bank account with the new rules if you are a tourist

I am flying to Cambodia and will apply for the non-O immigrant visa there

@Simon ******

going to Cambodia and I will get non-o there.

Ok I was able to get what o needed …. AT 7-11!!!! Got the SIM card there, then the company sold me the phone.

I will go to Cambodia and get the Non-O there and return, so I will be able to get the bank account

Ridiculous run arounds.

@Matthew ********

they open at 11 AM so hopefully later this morning, I will ask them if they will still honor that offer
