Hi all,

Regarding the marriage visa B400k bank account balance requirement, does anyone know if this can be satisfied by a CD/time deposit account? Or does the money strictly have to be in a traditional checking or savings account?

Krungsri appears to have a very favorable 4yr CD rate that's also available to foreigners, so I'd much prefer my money not excessively depreciate in value if it has to sit somewhere for this.

Thanks in advance!

I am retiring to Hua Hin next year ,iam buying a property.

I understand I need either 800k in a thai bank account or 65k going in monthly.

My question is I heard you can have a combination of the 2.

So if I got less than 65k going into my thai account. What's the minimum amount do I need in my thai account so immigration will be happy?

Most people posting talk about the requirement to have 800,000 baht sitting in their Thai bank account.

My understanding is that the 800,000 required can be made up from two separate amounts. One being proof of pension amount received in your home country as income there ( say 600,000 total annually), and the second amount only required in the Thai bank account being the difference, say 200,000 baht.

Is this correct ?

Hi all! Need some info, please.

1 To apply a retiree visa, is it mandatory to have the THB800K from abroad for someone who has worked in Thailand for years before and has already bank account with 800k?

2. Is it poasible to have multiple entry for a retiree visa Non-0 90 days and travel abroad before the 90 first days?

Thank you for your kind help.

Regarding Non-O visa : When does immigration ask the proof the 800Kthb comes from ourside Thailand by international transfer? Is it when I apply for the initial visa in Thailand, is it when I apply for my first extension (after 90 days) and/or is it when I apply for further extensions?

Hypothetical question...

Let's say I have opened a bank account with an agent so there is not rush to deposit 800k.

Can I bring cash with me and deposit it in the account as baht? (Of course according to the conversion rate)?

What is the limit for carrying cash inside Thailand? Is it $10000?

The rules for an O visa say the money you are required to put in a bank account must be spent in Thailand. Does this mean that they will block transfers or something? How do they enforce their rule? My reading of the rule is as follows: "You may be planning to live cheaply here in Siam, buddy, but we're going to do all we can to force you to leave your money here. So don't get your hopes up!"

Correct me if I'm wrong!

And how do they enforce their rule? Simply by refusing to extend your visa if you break the rule?

## Question regarding Extension of stay based on Thai Family/Spouse

Entered December 2022 on non-imm Visa-O with multiple entries.

My bank balance dropped a smidge below 400K for several days in late January. I make sporadic lump sum payments to my thai bank account. For all of 2020 and 2021 my bank account balance exceeded 400k and 3 months ago my bank account exceeded 400k.

Is this going to affect my eligibility to get EXTENSION OF STAY?

In addition to that, I make more than 40k THB per month in income but it's deposited into a foreign bank account. If I were to start consistently paying an income to my Thai bank account - how long would I need to do it to become eligible?

If I am not able to get it - is there another extension I can get? The 400K will "re-season" by the end of April and my current visa entry expires at the end of March.

It's coming to the time of year where I need to apply for my one year extension based on marriage to a Thai National. This coming year I unfortunately can't show 400k in my bank account prior to my application, but I maybe able to apply showing an income of at least an average of 40k a month over a year. If this money is all shown coming from abroad in to my Thai bank account does it need to be at least 40k a month, or could it be 60k one month and 30k the next with the total accumulation over a year coming to 400k or more over a one year cycle? Also, is PayPal acceptable evidence of income to my or my wife's Thai bank account? Any known knowledge to either of these questions would be much appreciated prior to my application, thank you kindly in advance.

Hi all, I have been asked to come back in to KK immigration on 5th April , currently under consideration for 1 yr extension on marriage. Had interview at home with immigration officer and I thought on the whole it was a good experience and good service. My question is once I get the extension can I go on holiday and blow my 400k or do I have to hold it for a few more months? I anticipate using my monthly pension (UK) method next year which I already transfer anyway. Thanks in advance!
