Can I complete the digital arrival card for Thailand more than 3 days before my flight?

Realize that if you're crossing international date line you've already lost one day in transit.

How can I ensure my money transfers to Krungsri meet Immigration requirements for the 65k per month visa option?

Tony **********

not true. Same paperwork. You can make it easier for them but using a single deposit each month, but no requirement for medical insurance.

What happens if your bank balance drops below 400,000 THB on a retirement visa in Thailand?

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

Understand that's how it works. Just seems like an unnecessary burden. I assume when one converts there is a fee. Not the first Thai process I've found odd!😅

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

do you know why an exit is necessary and not just collect the visa fee and start the new one then and there?

What are the rules for using a bank account for retirement visa extensions in Thailand?

Tony **********

@Jason ********

I don't think so. But possible he would need to enter on exempt in order to convert visa. I'd have a sit down with the IO. It's a process question.

Worst case is he applied for new non-o using whichever bank he wants. No need to exit country...

What are some recommendations for medical insurance for a 68-year-old US citizen with hypertension and cholesterol issues in Thailand?

Tony **********

Be cautious of excluded coverage. Almost anything cardiac, kidney, blood or liver related will most likely be excluded. Medications here are very inexpensive. About 30% of USA for equivalent generics. You'll might consider tucking the $500 a month you're likely to spend in premiums away and self insure.

Can I sell products online while on a Digital Nomad visa in Thailand, and what are the chances of visa rejection if applying for the Non-O Retirement visa without an agent?

Tony **********

No transactions to/from Thailand. No Thai business partnerships or sales relationships. No Thai customers or suppliers. No shipping in or out of Thailand.

If you are eligible, go for the non-o visa. Rare to get rejected unless you lie while applying or use fraudulent documentation.

What happens if I don't report my 90-day visa requirement while on a DTV visa in Thailand?

Tony **********

It's your responsibility to report. Not sure of any dire consequences other than the fine, but why would you not take the hour it takes to comply?
