Proof of income ?

My income comes from a goverment retirement and is well over the minimum requirements.

If there is proof of income, can I skip the 800.000 B rule ? Or should it be deposited for 12 months ?

So who provides this paperwork ?The bank? The embassy on proof of bank?

Many countries don't deliver this paperwork.

Does anyone know if Belgium provides a proove of income to get a retirement visa.

I have a one year extension as retiree thru 800000 baths system. I kept this amount for 3 months after extension and am now over 400000.

I will renew my visa when I am in France thru the the Thai embassy in Paris.

My question is: should I go back to 800000 2 months prior the current extension deadline or can I keep only 400000 as I will renew from abroad ?

Hope it is clear

Thks in advance

When you apply for an O visa inside Thailand to eventually get the 12 month extension (based on retirement), at what point does the 800k bht need to go into your bank account?

I just got my 1 year extension for my non immigration O retirement visa. I have had the 800,000 baht in my bank account. Can I take some of that money and re-deposit it back into the account the next day or 2. We have a celebration and it’s just for show.

I was wondering about the retirement visa..after you have shown you have the necessary 800,000 baht in the bank..does it have to remain in the bank untouched or can you with withdraw some or all of it if needed..I'd be grateful for some advice as I'm interested in retiring in Thailand
