I just found out something yesterday. You have to report to immigration where your staying even on a 30 day holiday.

If you stay at a resort all the time then the hotel records your stay so dont have to do anything. But if like me I'm staying at our home the landlord or my wife has to give you a TM30 or register that your staying there.

I have a question: I heard that after received a year visa the amount of 800.000 must be kept 3 months. Is that a law ? I didn't see on Google. Now if I have embassy document with my retirement amount, I can use only the difference on a bank account. (Retirement 600000 + bank deposit 200000) So what about the amount that should be kept 3 months ?

I have been on a Non-O retirement visa for over 4 years and have maintained an excess of 800,000 baht all along but would now like to switch to depositing at least 65,000 baht monthly. The interest rate earned in Thailand is so low compared to my accounts in the States. My next renewal is February 2026 but my 65,000 baht deposit will commence this January 2026---or a month earlier if that's a safer option. My question is: AFTER my renewal is completed in February 2026, can I transfer the 800,000 back to my stateside account or is it necessary to keep the 800,000 baht minimum in my Thai bank until I've completed my 2027 renewal? Thanks for any advice.

Hi. Question about the proposed changes to the LTR visa (pensioner). Is it true that the current proposal states - "...no cap on the number of dependents—including spouses, children, parents, and legal dependents (previous cap was 4 children under age 20)."

I have a question regarding the immigration stamp. When I re-entered thailand, I got a 'Out-A' stamp which I did not get before. Does anyone know what this means?

Some background information. Not sure if it's helpful or not. I have been studying thai in Thailand for about 1.5 years. The first 1 year 2 months, I had an ED-Visa. The other 4 months I had a normal visa-exempt in which I had to do a border run. For the last 6 months of my studies, I studied in Chula.

Hi members..

Just want to confirm something. Please reply if you only know the truth.

Different stories about visas.

If you been married to a Thai national for over 2 months the bank fee comes down to

400000bht.

And can you show funds in your bank or does it have to be deposited into Thai bank.

Does the money stay in bank

And no can use.
