i want to do things the most legal way possible. i have a US military disability pension of $4,100 monthly and have bank app showing more than 5 years of deposit of US Treasury checks into my account. i also have Veterans Affairs statements of my disability status as 100% permanent. i have only $15,000 in the bank but of course i can easily save half of that each month. how should i proceed to put the 800k baht into the bank?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To legally deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account as a US military veteran receiving a disability pension, you will need to demonstrate that the funds are in the account for a specified duration based on visa requirements. Initially, if you're applying for a 90-day Non-O visa, you can transfer the amount directly from your US bank without needing to show prior deposits. However, for the subsequent one-year extension, the 800,000 baht must be in the Thai bank account two months prior to application and remain for at least three months after, without falling below 400,000 baht at any time. Given that the US embassy no longer issues wage verification letters, consider consulting with a visa agent for assistance, especially if you plan on applying for different visa options or if your situation changes. The community highlights the importance of proper financial planning and adherence to local immigration regulations.
