@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.

You're good!

And if your friend get's dinged 2000 thats pretty good. I was told by Pattaya Immigration they can ding everyday you're late.

You'll be fine with Visa Exempt for 60 days.

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