Can I transfer 800,000 baht for a Non O retirement visa from my wife's account instead of my Aussie account?

Okay took me a while to find but here's a copy of the first page of the hand out you get from Bangkok Immigrations out at Chaengwattana Section C-1 where you go to apply for the in country 90 day Non-O visa for 2000baht

I said multiple times this is NOT a requirement at all immigration offices

ed a requirement at some of them.

Matthew Plymale I got no idea why my comments riled you up 😕 , wasn't trying to yank your chain, just relate information.

I'm not trying to give bad information, not trying to run anyone off the rails, just pointing out that depending on the immigration office you use, moving the 800k from your thai wife's bank account into your thai bank account may not work for you.

Just to add, Jomtien requires 2 month seasoning even for the initial Non-O

Doubt it matters

What kind of visa are you currently on?

The money can come from anywhere (do check with your immigration office as some may require funds from outdide of Thailand) along as it goes into your Thai bank account in your name only 2 months before you apply and important to note 3 months after it has to remain over 800k. The 7 months between seasoning of 800k it can drop to 400k. I myself will just keep it to 800k all year round

What is the reason why it must come from abroad. Isn't 0 the same money regardless how it was deposited.

SOME offices (like Bangkok and a few others) require that you transfer the 800K from abroad into a thai bank account in your name only to apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa

Other offices don't require it, so you're going to have to check and see if there's a "proof of funds origin" policy at the office you're using for the Non-O visa.
