Hello - I am in my 2nd month of a 90 day retirement non-O visa.

What is best practice with the Thai savings account I have the 800k balance in? If after I receive the one-year extension in December, I will still keep the balance for 3 months but would also begin transferring a min of 65000(?) Baht each month so that I can change to that proof of finances the following year?

Would it be of any benefit to start depositing to the same account now? I have been thinking to xfer monthly and use the thai bank debit card when needing cash instead of my US card which always has a fee or 220 baht +. Always being sure not to dip below the 800k of course. But it would also make the passbook a longer document with spending patterns when presenting for the extension...

Can holders of 800K and over in a savings account use finanical prodcuts as well to meet the reqiurement? My bank is offering 5% CDs on accounts with $30K USD equivalent in baht.

Hello everyone, I wonder if is it possible to get an agent to help with 500k bank statements. If anyone has experience with this or any agents can help please pm me 🙏🏼

If I have pension of more than $2K a month from USA, do I still need 800K Bath deposit?

I’m about to start my retirement renewal process next month after the first year. I have a pension income of 65,000+ baht going into my Bangkok bank months also the required bond in the bank for last 2 months so I have the option of both methods. What I’m worried about now if I use the pension proof ? Will it be taxed at 30% because it could be deemed an income. Most of this amount was tax exempt in UK due to tax threshold

I will turn 50 in October 2024; however my current visa expires on Sep 24 ; the gap is 17 days! What are the best options to solve this situation? Can I apply for a retirement visa now?

I'm planning to live in Thailand sometime soon after I retire and get my Australian Aged Pension next year. Most likely it'll be the middle of next year by the time I'll get there. I've lived in Adelaide for the past 53 years, where the climate is considered 'Temperate'. Maximum temperatures in winter can be as low as about 11C & summers can get into the 40C+zone, but usually only 2-5 days, if that. As I'm getting older, I'm really hating the winters here.

I visited Thailand for 3 weeks in November 2022 and spent most of the time there between Lopburi and Nakhon Sawan, so about 2-3.5 hours north of Bangkok. Temperatures during that time were pretty consistently around 29C to 32C and no rain.

My question for those that have spent a reasonable time in that part of the country, not too much further north or south; what time of the year would be the worst, in regards to temperatures and rainfall?

I have checked some climate websites for this and other parts of Thailand, but I'm looking for personal experiences. Anyone that's originally come from Temperate climate or cooler one would be great. I'm just wanting to get an idea of what time of year to be there to see if I can manage the consistently higher temperatures, rainfall and humidity. I am aware that Thailand had what was probably an extreme weather event in April this year, where there was 30 plus days over 40C, at least in most of the country. Thanks.

Should I apply for retirement visa before going or after I get there?

800k baht in the bank for retirement.

I know it needs to stay in a few months on both ends, but if you take some out and need to re-deposit, does it again need to come in from my home country? Thx

How long before retirement application does 800k have to be in account? When changing reason for 1 year extension . I saved the instructions and can't find them. 😆
