Hello,

I opened a fixed account with Kasikornbank. What's the question about the months?

It has something to do with the interest, I've heard that.

If I pay my 800,000 for the Visa into a fixed account for 12 months, can I not access it during those 12 months?

The bank employee just said "yes" to every question, regardless of whether I asked "can I or can't I."

I wanted a fixed account, and I didn't want the money to be withdrawn by some criminals via the app. I've heard too much about that with today's technology.

Thank you very much.

My 90 Day Reporting is due on Monday 13th but I fly out to Malaysia on Wednesday 15th. Do I still need to do it? Would I get fined on my return? TIA

Regarding health insurance requirement for a retirement visa. Can I use my Medicare (USA) and supplement insurance.

I understand the insurance is not allowed to be used in Thailand but I could return if needed.

Secondly, can I self insure? If so how much do I need show?

Husband is 51, planning on coming to Thailand next month. Wondering pros and cons of applying for Retirement Visa before we leave or when we arrive? I will be applying as a dependent spouse and we have an 11 year old as a dependent visa to my husband’s retirement visa. Just starting to travel and planning on hitting most of Asia over the next few years with Thailand as “home base”. Thoughts?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group, so sorry if this question has been asked a million times already. Is there a visa that doesn't require 800k baht to be sitting in a Thai account for moths beforehand?

Hello, I am currently on a Non Immigrant ED Visa (University) which expires on December 20 and I am planning to switch to a DTV (Soft Power) while I am back in the USA (October - January).

Is it absolutley necessary that I cancel my ED Visa with Immigration in person before traveling to the USA and applying for the DTV? Or will I be okay to return to the USA and let it expire on its own while I am applying for the DTV.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hey guys I’ve started the only application on the official Thai E-Visa for the DTV freelance visa. It’s asking for milk “INTENDED DATE OF ARRIVAL” and “MY INTENDED DATE OF DEPARTURE” issue with attended date of arrival is I’m applying from Spain n from the search ppl have had a 1 approval reply after their application and others it’s taken up to 5”6 weeks,

So I don’t know what to say re my date of arrival and Flight number ……

Secondly “INTENDED DATE OF DEPARTURE” the visa is 5 years do I say 5 years for my departure date? 🙏 what did you all do for this part?
