ORIGINAL POSTER

Originating country for the 800k baht deposit for retirement visa.  Does the originating country need to match your passport or can the money come in from any country so long as it is from overseas?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The deposit for a retirement visa in Thailand does not need to come from the same country as your passport. You can transfer funds from anywhere overseas, provided that the account is in your name and the money is transferred to your Thai account also in your name. Some immigration offices may require proof of foreign origin of the funds, but this is not universally applicable; for example, the Chiang Mai office currently does not require this proof.

BTW -- Only some Immig. Offices require proof of foreign origin of funds. CM, for one, at this time does not!

Anywhere overseas, providing the account is in your own name & transfer into your Thai account in your own name. 😉
