Reporting latest experience. Yesterday transferred the monthly 65000 baht from my Australian bank account via Wise (Funds for longstay in Thailand) to my Bangkok Bank account. Transfer initiated at 9:40am, funds arrived in Bangkok Bank account sometime between 12:30 and 12:50pm correctly noted on the account as an international transfer, for immigration purposes. Transferred funds for rent and internet at around 1:30pm. Used QR Promptpay scan four times between 4:00pm and 8:00pm.

At 2:30pm ordered 12-month statement from bank app (for immigration purposes this coming week), which arrived via email at 4:30pm.

I'm on non-O retirement extension, BB customer for eight years.

Absolutely no problems, account not frozen or suspended.

Bangkok Bank and Wise not quite the ogres which some are suggesting!

Hey all working with Baan Thai for a retirement O stateside. Doing the 3 month initial visa. They’ve asked that I provide my U.S. bank statements for the past 3 months showing 80,000 baht balance. I know this is a requirement once I get a bank account in Thailand. Has anyone had the request to show the same from a U.S. bank?

I just had a phone call from Immigration saying they want to visit my residence today.

I have a 12 month Non O retirement visa .

Is this normal for them to rock up out of the blue?

Good morning, so in 2 months and 3 weeks I am going to apply for the retirement visa non-o in Jomtien as I will reach 50 yo.

I have the 800k sent by international transfer that have been sitting for years in my Bangkok bank account.

My first question is what needs to be done with the bank in advance. I am going to update the bankbook at the machine every months from now.

Do I have to get a letter certifying the funds have been there for a while with the bank as well ? Should I wait the day after I am 50 yo to ask for this letter?

Any other administrative stuff that need to be done long before applying for the visa. Thanks

Hi, I'm retired and wanting to live in Thailand for a year starting in September.

I have 2 properties which bring in approximately 80k baht per month in rent... plus about 1 Mio baht cash.

I do want to give extra lessons online to only non-Thai clients. However, I will only be starting this now so I have no portfolio. Retirement visa vs. DTV? Any suggestions much appreciated.

I finally found a bank to open an account for me, but it has taken me 3 weeks to do it. I came into Thailand on a 90 Day Non O Visa based on family (married to a Thai). I put the 800K Baht into the bank and have to leave it in there for a minimum of 2 months before I apply for a Non O Retirement Visa. I am also told that when I apply for my visa I must apply at least 15 days before expiry of my 90 Day visa. I will only have 9 days left to apply.

Can I extend my 90 Day Visa for a week or 2. Or must I leave Thailand and come in on a 30 day Exemption. Any other thoughts?
