There are questions sometimes though. Maybe get the proper long stay and work permits?

You do not need anything to apply for the 90 Day O, you are not a resident yet. You will need it to do your 90 day reports.

To apply for the one year extension of the O, it will be easier with a lease and matching TM30. That is one of the things they give you the 90 days to arrange. A letter from friends or family inviting you to stay, along with a copy of the housebook would work.

Stay at a large commercial hotel and ask for a copy the day before you apply, then get your friend to file one on your return.

The currency exchange house needs to be outside Thailand to show the international transfer. I would go UK bank to Thai bank to make it as clear as possible.

You will need a new TM30 to file your TM47 90 day report at your new address. When traveling in country, book in your tiraks name to avoid new TM30 filings.

400k or 40k a month. You can use a certified pension letter from your embassy if you can get one, or you have to show twelve consecutive months of international transfers.

A 60 day visa starts counting when they stamp you in at the Thai airport. The arrival day is 1, even at 23:30.

Wire transfer is the easiest. Keep the receipts anyway. They never ask until it is your turn.

Yes, usually very short visits.

I have done up to 9 in a year. Not a problem with a ticket out,

The TR gives you more time to organize the paperwork.
