Can I switch from a 65k monthly deposit to an 800k bank deposit for my Retirement visa in Thailand?
Hello! My husband and I have a 1 year Retirement visa based on 65k monthly deposits. We renewed our visas in April 2026 and the next renewal will be in April 2027. We are considering to switch from the 65 k monthly deposits to the 800k money in the bank.
Hello! My husband has a 1 year Retirement visa based on 65k monthly deposits and I have one as a dependent/spouse. We renewed our visas in April 2026 and the next renewal will be in April 2027. We are considering switching from the 65 k monthly deposits to the 800k money in the bank.
If we deposit the 800k now, can we stop bringing the monthly 65k at any time now and safely be able to renew our visa in April 2027?
Thank you for your answers!

Most people were just like” just use wise”
A trip to the wise website just shows it to be something like western union in the US but it is more that that.
Please understand when you are entirely ignorant on a subject you don’t know what you don’t know. A earlier poster helped me understand the basics Now I have an understanding on which to research!

Lonnie Oliver you bring up the sex too quickly Lonnie. What I loved more, was her naivety. She didn't have to trust me. As I recall, I only responded to her dilemma, via a 'cry for help' mssg, on a group chat...
,,,,she didn't know what to do, or who to turn to.

Phil Beer thank you so much for the logical well thought out reply.
Thank for not trolling and helping understand.
Now the real research can begin. Because I knew it was used for money but not really what the basic functions were used for

It’s really not that difficult. Just download their app, or go to their website. Make an account and just follow the steps to make a transaction.

Go to wise page. Set yourself up. Link your home bank account you want to transfer from and bingo. You can send a payment to someone you've got the details for.

Honestly, I find it somewhat cheeky to ask others to educate you. Why don't you try to inform/read up on it yourself first and then come up with specific questions or things that are unclear to you?
This is an advice group, not a school. A little initiative should still be expected. After all, we're talking about Wise, not quantum physics.
