I'm about to apply for a 90-day non-O (Retirement) visa and I understood the requirement to be 800k baht, and that is what the evisa site still says. I happened to look at the Thai Embassy site and it says 30k dollars, which is more like a million baht. Which is correct? Also, do they look at my ending balance for the 3 months, or the average balance?

Does the 15000 USD need to be in my primary bank account? I have a HYSA that has always met that standard, it’s where I keep most of my hard cash.

I don’t think it should make a difference but want to get clarification.

If you are using the 12 monthly foreign deposits to your Thai Bank Account make sure you check your statement when you get it from the bank. I got my 1 year statement and its missing my deposit for both February and March. So I look at my bank book and both deposits are listed on it. I also downloaded the 1 year statement directly from the Bangkok Bank App and they are listed on that. I guess it's back to the bank tomorrow. 5555

From your experience, which Thai bank credit card has the best perks programme, e.g. airport lounge access, travel insurance, etc. Many thanks.

The 800,000THB

In the account three months before application

Can then use 400,000THB

And restore to 800,000THB two months before renewal?

Pretty sure I’m right, just need confirmation please

Ok, I'm pretty sure thus is what we need to do. We are slowly getting things ready to retire in Thailand. I know we each need our own bank account with 800000tbh each. But I would think we would want a joint account in Thailand to use. So would you recommend us having our own accounts to satisfy the visa needs and keep them over 800000k or just have 3 accounts? Especially knowing it's getting a little harder to open bank accounts
