Hi, I visited a recommended visa shop in Pattaya today to clear up something about a retirement visa that I am not 100% sure on but still only 90% sure...lol It may be me being stupid. I'm nearly 54 and would like to retire in a couple of years. When I do I will not have a monthly income well not a very good one. I will have the 800,000 to put in the bank and keep there. Do I still need to show a 65000 monthly income coming in from the uk? I tried to explain to the visa lady that I can put in at a couple of million and do I still have to show an income but she just wrote down 65,000 I don't think she understood what I meant. Thx.

How much monthly money do I have to show coming from UK to satisfy marriage visa requirements? TIA

I’m sure this has been covered before, but with all the changes, you never really know.

It used to be required for the Retirement Visa to have ฿800,000 or ฿80,000 per month income or a combination there of.

I make well over the ฿80,000 a month and can prove it on my monthly bank statements from Bangkok Bank

So is this still true ?

Like the retirement visa , can the married to Thai visa be a mix of banked and monthly income or is it only 400k banked.

Question with regards to the marriage visa,

I know there is 2 options 1 where you show 400k funds in a Thai bank account and 1 where you show 40k a month going into your THAI bank account.

My question is when you show the 40k does that have to be just a 40,000 transaction from your personal overseas bank account going into your thai bank account each month ? and how many months (backdate) do you have to show you have been receiving/sending the 40k a month ?

I did the one year extension for my retirement visa at Chiang Mai immigration. There are a number of new documents to be signed now regarding penalties for infractions of immigration laws. One document is in Thai and I can only read Thai very slowly.

I had more than 800,000 Baht in my account, so no problem this year. I asked two immigration officers and a visa service employee about the new rules and all three agreed: After March 1st, 2019 you must keep 400,000 Baht in your account at all times. At a minimum of 90 days before you do your next extension you must have a minimum of 800,000 Baht in your account. You cannot use an aggregate of monthly income and bank balance. Only the money in your account counts.

If the rules as I have stated above are not correct, let me know.
