Do I need to deposit 100,000 baht before or after obtaining the confirmation letter for a Non-O retirement visa?

What documents do I need to take for my nanny day check-in coming up in November?

Just to add one more point not mentioned. The letter and the detailed statement last 7 days after which you have to do it again.

Tod s an extremely helpful chap and the information he passes on is always accurate. He s helped me in the past and we are very lucky to have him on here.

You've got your wires crossed a bit

There are three things you need from the bank when you use "banked money method" for visa/extensions

** a detail transaction report

** a "standard" bank letter (which is like 5 lines says your name, your account number and the balance the day they wrote the letter)

** update your bank book on the date you apply for the Non-O visa/extension

It's that last one; update the bank book, that require many people to have a transaction the date you need the updated bank book. Because for many banks a bank book won't update with the current date unless there's a transaction done that date.

you don't need to do any transaction to get the bank to give you a detail transaction report OR the 'standard' bank letter, only when you update the bank book AND it also doesn't matter if the ending balance on the detail transaction report, the standard bank letter and the bank book don't match 😮 As long as you're over the threshold required (which for retirement visa/extension is 800K baht in the account) you're fine.
