I am leaving for Thailand on retirement visa initially with non O visa via Siamlegal.

As understood Australian Authorities allowed maximum A$ 10000 in cash carriage to overseas. I have WISE ACCOUNT and TRAVEL MONEY CARD and COMMON BANK ACCOUNT. My question is what is the best way to transfer the money requirement of THB 800000 in Thai Bank account for retirement visa. I am looking foward your valued inputs.

I have owned a property in Thailand for 15 years, where I propose staying, and have recently applied for a Non O , single entry 90 day visa, in order to apply for a Retirement Visa.

The Embassy is asking for additional paperwork, a Note Verbale or an Invitation letter, can anyone please explain where an invitation letter comes from?

I applied for the DTV from Penang Malaysia and they’re taking AGES to get back to me.

Sent the docs off that they requested more of last Thursday and still no reply.

Any ideas of what I can do to speed up the process?

With Kasikorn Bank. I don't have an app. Don't even have a smart phone, yes it is possible to survive without.

All the new regulations with facial scan and maximal withdraw amount, does that affect me at all ?

Normally I withdraw over the counter a couple of times per year and move money to my trading account once a year. Each time around 200.000 per transaction. Don't use ATM. Use the debit card for online shopping. Once a year I get the letter for immigration from the bank.

Does the new rules affect me a any way ?

Any idea if this will impact inbound transfers?

Kplus — Can no longer transfer more than 50k thb per “day” anymore, all I ever used the account was for getting money from Europe, twice a month for many years on average with out issue to pay the wife and bills. This is despite me using a correct simcard and already did facial scan at the bank a while back. Probably gonna take a few days to move funds out gonna switch banks. This is utterly ridiculous. Been with them for 4 years with no issues. Luckily, I have four other Thai banks with no such limits. Only been using K plus because they are usually the fastest for international transfers might keep using them. Hopefully inbound won’t be impacted. I don’t think so, but won’t be using them for storing money or paying bills.

Hi All, currently I am on a 60day exemption visa, which end at the end of the month. I am staying about 1.5 hrs drive from the Lao border. Can I just cross the border and re enter and get another visa for 30 days ???

Question about this visa, being a sponsor and the financial requirements. I want to sponsor my two young adult children. Is the financial requirements an additional $15,000 for each of them along with my requirement?

After my separation we also lost our visa for Thailand by end of June 😞

I applied for a Worcation Visa at the Munich Consulate. Sent them all requested documents (some of them just in German). After 10 days they requested a "professional portfolio". I sent my portfolio via the platform and within 3 hours my visa was approved.

Immediately I applied with my approved visa the child visa for my 16 yr old daughter. I could not deliver a 500.000 Baht (15.000 Euro) bank account statement, because she is not 18 years old. I sent instead a sponsor letter, that I will be in charge for all costs etc.

7 days later her visa also was approved.

A big Thank you to the Munich Consulate. The did NOT just rejected like obviously other Consulats. They asked for further documents. I delivered and they approved immediately.

Also during Covid I just had outstanding experiences with the Munich Consulate. Thanks again to them! 🙏

Anyone apply using the Discover Thai Nature seminars in the US lately? Specifically the Los Angeles embassy?
