What should I consider when transferring money from overseas to my Thai bank account?

@Michael *********

if it’s a non-o based on marriage you don’t need it to show as a foreign transfer only for the 800k for a retirement but Wise is definitely the way to go

@Kim ********

why did the OP ask if it mattered or not ??

Darin Leitch Have not been in this situation myself, but I am quite sure you are giving out wrong information that can hurt people badly: you have to keep minimum B 400.000, (of the original B 800.000,) in the bank untill you get your next extension based on the monthly installments. The logic in this being that these are the rules for your first year extension which you have broken. Might also, if following the same logic, be a case of overstay from the moment you drop below the agreed minimum of B 400.000,. Please correct me if I’m wrong about the overstay.

@Da *****

for the application to the 90-days visa, you can use original income documents from your home country. But in order to use the +65,000 THB income proof for the application to the 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit based on Retirement, you must show a Thai bank statement for 12 consecutive months, month for month, unbroken every month, a minimum of 65,000 THB has been transferred onto your Thai bank account, coded as having come from abroad. (That's a given only if your embassy in Thailand doesn't issue an income affidavit)

@Da *****

the income has to be from overseas not local, you can’t work in Thailand under a retirement system and make an income. That would be a different visas. LTR or investment visa

@Da *****

it is after the 90 day retirement visa and a 12 month extension every year paying 65.000 baht monthly as proof of overseas income

@Mario ********

112x65.000 = ? Not 1.550.000. Back to school I guess.

@Mario ********

deposit 800.000 baht for visa extension. The day you extension starts you must pay 65.000 baht into your Thai bank account per month however you can withdraw your 800.000 baht two months as long as you deposit minimum of 65.000 baht per month which you can spend freely

@Mario ********

bounce / recycle the 65k back and forth between accounts and all it costs is the bank fees.
