Does Thai immigration check for deposits or just the balance in my bank account for visa renewal?

As long as it’s 800k you are ok you just need to update your passbook every 2 months as that want a photocopy of that on renewal

This is so boring post now who agrees ?

BKK Bank enters a code, FTT. It stands for foreign transfers. You can use TransferWise for both the 800,000 baht transfer and the 65,000 a month transfer. That’s what my Thai gf said they told her.

Pls message me compañero

Send to me I take gooood care of your money for you 😜

*take the 800k. Use it to buy a ticket to Hong Kong. Stay in Hong Kong. 👍 Most problems solved.

My immigration office required me to make a transaction on the day of the visit to the office and have my passbook updated that day to show I have access to the funds.

When you renew your retirement visa you need a letter from your bank and also photocopies of your bank book. First page and all pages going back one year. Don’t forget to sign photocopies.

Are u now in Thailand?

You are confusing two separate ways to show proof of funds.

One way is the 800K baht banked money (and you need the 800K baht in the bank for 2 months before you apply for the new extension, it needs to stay in the account for 3 months after you get the extension granted and you can't let the balance go below 400K baht the rest of the year)

The other one is 65K baht a month transferred in to your account from abroad for the previous 12 months before you apply for your next extension.

Seeing as you are using banked money the immigration office won't care at all if there was any activity to the account or not. Just that you meet the seasoning requirements like I outlined.

How do you update the

book from abroad ,

or get letter / statement

With no online

Bank access .

Quite interested

to get answers on that one ..

There is no need for monthly transfers if you’re using the banked money method. If you want to switch to monthly transfers then you need 12 x 65,000 baht (minimum) plus you’d need to have kept the conditions of your last extension which means a balance of 800k for 3 months after and not go below 400k for the rest of the year.

Many people have a separate account and leave the 800k in it just for immigration purposes. No issue if it’s not changed at all. You just need to update the bank book on the day you apply and get a new letter from the bank stating your balance.
