How difficult is it to withdraw funds from a Thai bank after obtaining a Non-O retirement visa?

Oh I forgot to mention that I used Bangkok Bank transfer on the app as Wise cannot transfer out of Thailand, at least on my Wise App.

@Andrew *******

it went to 800K in 2018

@Andrew *******

The same as for the Extension but no seasoning for the initial Visa (unless you apply in Jomtien).

@Andrew *******

if you're talking about the retirement visa, it has always been ฿800k, marriage or dependant visa is ฿400k, DTV visa is ฿500k, have a look at the Embassy website of you're home country, there is lots of information on there.

@Andrew *******

Send the mony into your account in Thailand…..

Never to somebody Else. Be sure that that account never be closed. Otherweise you never get the mony out with banksystem.

It same if you open account in a other bank

To keep the visa mony in

You need to have 3-4000 bath in the first account you open. Think you need to like

Put in or withdraw500-1000 bath

One time per

Year so account is active. Otherweise bank close

Your account and you never get mony out ( 9999 euro or usd cach every time you leave Thailand is ok….

Its 0

Or0

Married visa

But married not easy to do. Mony must stay in bank 3 month after you got visa

Then during 6 month never under

0.3 month before you like to apply for extensions

1 more year it have to be

0 again. Half mony regarding marige visa

Think you can get a fixed account with abt 2%

Intrest.

All this are on thai webpage.

Many here

Write wrong

Info.

@Andrew *******

I lived here 24 years and it was 800,000 even back then in 2001

@Andrew *******

500 for marriage, 800 for retirement

@Scott *****

Yes it is quite easy. I did it on the Siam Bank app. Up to 1.5 million. Rate is not the best, but acceptable. Took a day.

@Joseph ******

I use Wise to transfer to Bangkok Bank

I persume I can transfer let's say the 0 bht back to wise then hopefully wise will transfer in £ back to my UK

Accounts

@Joseph ******

things have changed. In the last 14 years.

Now you can transfer via the banking app.

@JP *******

you can put it in a term deposit, annual interest is about 1.2%.

@JP *******

yes u do earn interest twice a year....for my 800k acct the interest earned is more than enough to cover the annual fees for the debit card and insurance hope this helps

@JP *******

depending on the bank you do, but it is very little. And with the yearly fees etc basically 0 if you only keep the minimum in there.

@Loretta ******

no it's "not a lot of paperwork".

It's a couple of mouseclicks in the banking app.

dee money has stopped trading

@Jim **********

🤔 I’m going to retry using it with a small amount / see how it goes. (I’ve never used it, but I set up the account last year. 🤷‍♂️)

@Jim **********

why wouldn't you recommend dee money Jim ?

@Brandon ***********

And how does it work "year extension wise" ? Because the 800k฿ is allowed on forehand for the current year extension. The moment he does not have the k฿ in his account, his year extension is in principle invalid. I don't know if the imm. officer at the airport can see this.
