Anyone with 50+ visa? does money held at local bank can be in foreign currency (Eur/$)? or must it be converted to BHT? Tnx

update from responses

its possible to have a foreign currency account balance shown to immigration, to qualify the requirements.

some responses indicated that it depends in the immigration policy of the specific region, so best is to check with them.

oh, and, perhaps, if the exchange rate changes this could lead to not stand in the needed amount, so such choice needs attention.

one last thing is that only Bangkok bank and KBank allow foreign currency account...

good day everyone and thank you to those who contributed useful information from personal experience.

Hi I need an advise, I am planing to apply for the 50+ visa ("retirement visa") but from what I read I can NOT apply while on a tourist visa, which I am. how did you do it any ideas? THANKS!

Hi Group😍

First a very happy new year to all, wishing everybody visas and extensions for 2020!

Then a huge thank you to everybody who helped me with patience and dedication to get my 1 year extension 50+ and especially Tod, Robert and James

I hope everybody understands the amazing free service that is available on this group for everyone.

I wish every grumpy visitor could understand that everything I have been told or advised to do was true and correct. The choice of options and words always selected with care (eg must and should having different meanings). There is no judgement here, only facts.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Now, here is a new question. 🤔😉

I understand that I must keep 800 k for 3 months after... am I correct to assume... dec 11?

Thank you and again, i wish you all the best year ever 😍
