If you are using the 12 monthly foreign deposits to your Thai Bank Account make sure you check your statement when you get it from the bank. I got my 1 year statement and its missing my deposit for both February and March. So I look at my bank book and both deposits are listed on it. I also downloaded the 1 year statement directly from the Bangkok Bank App and they are listed on that. I guess it's back to the bank tomorrow. 5555

The 800,000THB

In the account three months before application

Can then use 400,000THB

And restore to 800,000THB two months before renewal?

Pretty sure I’m right, just need confirmation please

Ok, I'm pretty sure thus is what we need to do. We are slowly getting things ready to retire in Thailand. I know we each need our own bank account with 800000tbh each. But I would think we would want a joint account in Thailand to use. So would you recommend us having our own accounts to satisfy the visa needs and keep them over 800000k or just have 3 accounts? Especially knowing it's getting a little harder to open bank accounts

Can the bank account with 500,000 Baht have a co-signer on the account or does it need to be in your name only?

Getting updated bank statement for DTV baht requirement

I have $22,000 in an account as of now since i just transferred money to meet the baht requirement. A few days ago I received my monthly statement document which only lists 14,486$ which is below 500,000 baht.

I called Wells Fargo and they said they can't generate an updated statement showing the updated balance. Do I need to wait an entire month to apply for the DTV now? Can I just take a screenshot of my current savings?

I also have a statement from 7 months ago showing 100,000$ but the next (6th month) statement shows them going all into stocks.
