Can I use monthly transfers of ฿65,000 for my retirement visa application in Thailand?

Unfortunately it's a NO YOU will have to have the 0thb in the bank account for the first year, even then you will have to speak to your immigration office to see if they will accept the thb per month after the end of your first year as I believe that some will not

The IO is only concerned with the 65k deposit via FTT ( foreign transfer ) every month.

You can withdraw same day, or use ir as your atm account.

No on your first non-o they require 800k in your name only from a foreign transfer then you start transferring 65k+ a month and use that on your 2nd extension

Thailand has a new 5 year visa, to be renewed once every 6 months _ for digital nomads if u have 15 k usd in a bank in home country. Check it out.

@Bjorn *******

what’s your nationality? You have a typical scandinavian name. I ask because your embassy might offer to give you a affidavit letter to confirm your income, and if so you’ll don’t need to prove income or funds in any other way.

Unfortunately, this won't be possible. The ONLY way to convert to non-O visa in Thailand is with 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account OR income verification from your embassy. The 65,000 is not accepted for conversion.

The ONLY way to apply for the first 1-year extension based on a non-O over 50 visa is with 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account OR income verification from your embassy. The 65,000 is not accepted for the first 1-year extension.

It's the SECOND 1-year extension that you can use the monthly transfers for. So during the first year that you got with 800,000 you could have the transfers going on and then for your extension you can use your proof of transfers. Be sure not to let your account go below 800,000 for 3 months after you receive your previous extension and never let it drop below 400,000 until you get your next extension based on the transfers.
