ORIGINAL POSTER

I have been doing the 800000 in the bank since I got here but am send over well over well over 800000 a year to live but not always 650000 in a month obviously watching the exchange rates and send more over when hi and topping up when need. My bank statement will show this. Can this be used as the 650000 per month as I herd they add all amounts together and divide by 12. But also herd they take monthly amount and go on the lowest amount sent. Can anyone give my best options to get my monthy income cover my visa requirements rather than the 8000000

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry involves the monthly income requirement of 65,000 THB for visa purposes, questioning whether accumulated transfers over the year can be averaged or if strict monthly transfers are necessary. Responses clarify that a consistent minimum transfer of 65,000 THB per month is required without averaging, emphasizing the importance of having monthly statements evidencing this transfer. Suggestions include using a specific bank account for managing foreign currency transfers to meet this requirement effectively.

If your just under the 65k baht per months, however have the 800k baht ready for a Thai Bank account and excess funds in an off shore account, will the combination prevail for an OA application 🤔..Thanks in advance 🙏

For a Non-OA application the 800k equivalent funds do not need to be in a Thai bank account

Why don’t you simply open an fcd account and send your monthly there when you don’t want to convert?

Just make sure it’s more than 65k when converted, even when you don’t want to convert.

Bangkok Bank allows you to open a usd or eur account without a y problem and you can access the money every day during bank hours.

You can do anything you want with the money that is deposited meaning you can spend it as soon as it arrives

100 BHT to the bank for their service. They also know exactly what immigration wants to see.

Agree with John L above. The rules are very simple.

per month minimum. My company pension is paid directly to SCB. I go to bank and get them to prepare a copy of all pages of my account showing the monthly deposit.(Which actually says "pension"). I get bank to produce a cover letter addressed to immigration stating that I received 12 monthly pension payments in the last 12 months. Get this letter and copy of account on day I go to immigration. Dated on the same day. This has worked every year for the past 12 years plus.

It's minimum transfer of 65k p/m for 12 months without missing a single transfer every single month. (I'm not sure if it can be broken up into separate transfers or it needs to be 1 single transfer though).

Varies by immigration office. Some want a single transfer and some don't care as long as it adds up.
