Do funds for the over 50 visa in Thailand must come from abroad, and can a relative transfer money for this purpose?

@Ali ***

You have 3 ways to meet the proof of funds

ALL banked money 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only

ALL monthly income where you transfer in from abroad to a thai bank account in your name only a minimum of 65K baht a month each month every month for the previous 12 months

A combination of banked money and monthly income that totals 800K baht for the year (12 monthly transfers and the banked money amount)

@Darren ********

I believe you can select purpose of transfer when using wise

@Darren ********

that is between you, wise and the receiving bank. IF you use Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn Thai, or Siam Commercial Bank, AND you select funds for long term stay there is a good chance it will code as an international transfer, BUT even doing that sometimes it codes as a domestic transfer and that will run you off the rails.

Does it requires monthly transfers or can it be quarterly or yearly?

@James *******

Are the 800K must be new money? I am asking because I had remitted funds from overseas into Thailand years ago to buy condos, and now I have sold one of them and the proceeds sit into my Thai bank account. I have all the proof of these transactions. I tend to give up my non OA when it expires and shift to apply for a non O here in Thailand. Will they accept my funds already existing in my Thai bank account? Or do I have to remit another fresh 800K into the account?
