@Ken *******
what retirement extension are you on?

A Non 0 or a Non 0A?

You can look into the Elite Visa, personally I don't know a lot about it,

But know of a few people who can stay here for 5 yesrs..

Someone here will be more educated on it than me,

But you start by looking into that,

Plus things can and probably will change in a years time

You can come as a normal tourist then extend,

No one can tell you what Immigration will do when you get here,

All up to immigration mate, no one can give you answer.

His work permit has nothing to do with immigration, that's the ministry of employment,

His extensions is his main concern,

500 Bhat a day fine for overstay,

There is also no safe and guaranteed way to avoid a fine,

It's up to immigration at any border as to whether he gets back in or not.

@Thomas ***********
yes it can be in any Thai bank within Thailand, but not term deposits where you can't access it,

You can also come on a tourist visa and apply within Thailand , this avoids medical and police checks

@Benjamin *****
non 0 based on over 50 doesn't require border bouncing or health insurance, best come on a tourist visa and apply in Thailand,

But check the requirements at the local immigration office here

I'm pretty sure your visa / extension doesn't expire with your passport, it should be just a case of transferring it to your new one,

Which office did you go to?
