@Todd ********
I was planned to provide my tax returns from the past two years which should satisfy the income requirement.

All things are possible... But after getting warned 3 times I am not that worried.

Not if they let you in. Then is a little red flag.

Last time I flew into Thailand (couple of weeks ago), they pulled me aside and yelled at me about using a tourist visa, for 10 years. They let me in, it wasn't a big deal, but they are starting to pretend to be more serious.

Why not get a visa?

It was my understanding you would have to leave and come back to activate your visa. I have been in a similar situation, where I apply for and get my next visa before I leave Thailand.

You can do a quick border bounce, find a an agent, book passage to the nearest land border, go have lunch, come back (with the correct paperwork), you're done.

You don't have to use a land border, I just find it's easier where I live (Pattaya) to bounce at the border then grab a flight.

"OR learn my lesson and bring the supplemental IDs to the next branch I attempt "

Is one of two of your best options

Either

- Go to several branches, with all the imaginable paperwork

- Hire an agent

My bank required I buy a one time insurance policy, for that year I have 3 million baht coverage for something, I am not sure.

I don't know about the Canadian banking system but the Thai banking system is much different than the US.

Hit or miss. Some times they really suck.. Other times very helpful.
