all good points. He can do his first 90 day check-in in person and online after that. Just one extra trip to immigration for that is worth what ever an agent would charge. Also, if that immigration agent who kept a book to help people out ever got hemmed up, what would it do to his extension if he was caught up in their mess? As far as his health goes if it does go south reporting online is much less stressful than traveling. I go to Nong Khai immigration and it's a completely different world up here. Hope you're having a great night.

you have 90 day check-ins so that's at least 2 visits and then check-in online after the first one. If he gets a multi-entry permit for the non-o he can travel every 85 days and never have to do a 90 check-in.

same as Laos. They asked for the last 3 months of statements but the most recent statement is the one that had to show 800k. It tripped me up at first as well because I kept overlooking the key word "currently". I feel like they ask for 3 months of statements just to verify it really is your account, I'm probably wrong just my opinion.

@Doug ******

I came over here on a 90 day non-o from the L.A. (US) office in May. You just need to provide proof of 800k available in the account from your most recent statement. They might ask for 3 months worth of statements but only the last statement has to prove you currently have 800k in the account.

I ported my T-Mobile to Tello while I was at home in Thailand last week.

@Pavel *****

just ported my US number to Tello. No complaints so far.

@Chris *********

you need 3 months worth of statements but the most recent statement needs to show 800k baht in the account. Just went through this in Laos last month from Nong Khai immigration.

@Doug *******

you must go to Udon Thani or Nong Khai immigration like I do. Nong Khai told me I had to go to Laos to get the non-o.

all the fees are right in front of you. You know the cost and how you'll receive before you even confirm the transfer.

The problem I see is if you transfer from Bangkok bank to Krungthai it doesn't show as an international transfer at this point and it might negate the whole process. If you open a Krungthai account you need 400k transferred in there from your home country from everything I have read and seen. I could be mistaken as I do know for a non-o it has to show as an international transfer to be accepted.
