Non o from UK.

Hi guys,

Can someone advise please regarding the 800,000 depositing to Thai bank. Two questions, can I make four deposits of 200,000 each time to make up the 800 and if I use Revolut does revolut show as an overseas transfer. Thanks in advance.

For the UK embassy, can I just transfer 15k into my current account and apply in a few weeks and have likely success for the DTV?

I'm here permanently on a non o retirement visa... with the 800 k deposit in the bank. I started monthly transfers in March of 2025 and am considering switching to a transfer option when I renew again in 2027. I thought I read a long time ago that for the retirement visa, an option was to combine a 400 k bank balance with monthly 40 k transfers . Has anyone done this?

Are Thai bank accounts safe to deposit my money into or should I only have the necessary required amount for retirement in there..

I’ve had ฿800,000 in my Thai bank for a couple years for my Non-O and wondering if it’s possible to switch to ฿65,000 a month without needing to do the monthly deposits for a year to maintain my Non-O? Chance somewhere between slim to none?

Immigration won’t accept my last 15 months of deposits to extend my married visa. They told me I need to get an affidavit of income verification by my embassy, which doesn’t do it anymore. I’ve never had a problem in previous years.

Now. I need to extend my married visa for two months so I can put ฿400,000 in the bank. Can I get an extension for 60 days at immigration or will I have to go to Laos. I haven’t had to do that since 2006.

Are there any immigration offices that accept the monthly deposits without getting the income verification from my embassy?

Ive been sending the 65KTHB was required monthly (from US) in order to get the 800K bunked back after the first year - which cycles around mid-January 2025.

It sure seems like many people have written to be incoming the same day every month or very close (and once it was 5 days from that) or very likely rejected - ie I wouldn’t be able to drop the requirement of keeping 800K after a year - is that true?

Also that they want to see it as looking like a pension amount - regularly deposited and sent out - and sometimes I put it in in several deposits the same day (like 35K + 10K + 20K) simply because Wise wouldn’t allow the whole 65K to go through at once except several days later.

So that also makes me wonder about the likelihood of them making me keep the 800K in another year

I’ve had my ฿800,000 in BKK Bank and have been posting ฿65,000 for a number of months. After I reach the one year period I want to simply post the ฿65,000 each month and use the ฿800,000 elsewhere.

If I continue to deposit the ฿65,000 every month, will that still work if I am not residing in Thailand? I will be out of the country a significant time throughout the year. Is Immigration likely going to have an issue with this?

Hi

American passport

If I have 13 months of consecutive deposits over 65K from overseas to my Bangkok bank account (FTT) will I be given an extension on my Non O visa?

Thanks 🙏

Regarding financial requirements for 1 year extension for non-o marriage. For the 40k/month method I thought I could choose between providing documentation of the previous year of monthly deposits OR income verification from our embassy.

Immigration told me I need BOTH. Is this common or is it more of an exception? Or maybe it was a misunderstanding.
