Hello, I will be going from an education visa to a retirement visa in September, I live in Phuket, and I'm from the US.

I would like to do the 800,000 baht method.

Can I start transferring from my US bank now while the rates are so good?

Can I do multiple transfers or does it need to be one lump sum?

Is there a particular Thai bank that's preferred?

I’ve used the search function and I’m not finding all of the answers so my apologies if this has been asked previously.

Thank you! Stay cool out there. 🙏🙏🙏

I am in Phuket and have a N O visa for 1 year. Today I went to ask about my 90 day check in and found that I have to leave the country every 90 days not just check in. With the whole covid situation, it is basically impossible so my other option they tell me is to get a bank account in my name with 400,000baht in it for 2 months and apply for marriage visa. but no bank will let me open an account on this visa. Does anyone have any experience or advice you could give me please? I have 10 days left
