Ok. We are married with a child on the way. We have jumped through all the hoops and wasted many hours at different banks trying to open a god damned bank account so I can apply for a non immigrant O visa and still they won’t let us open an account Who do I have to blow to be able to open a account?!?

Retirement visa: I have been using the bank WISE (formerly transferwise) to transfer funds from overseas, so there is no proof it came from overseas. On the other hand I have maintained a balance over 1 million for several years. Will this be accepted, or do I still have to transfer 800K through international banking channels?

I Have held a non-O retirement visa based on 800k in the bank for several years. Late last year I moved from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin.

The local branch of my bank is encouraging me to transfer my account from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin, and it will in fact save me some money on banking fees. However, I am afraid that closing one account and opening another will create some questions when I extend my visa. Apparently I cannot do a simple transfer to a new local account; the old one has to be closed and a new one opened.

Can anybody advise?

We went to Jomtien immigration yesterday to get our first retirement extension. We waited outside in line for about 30 minutes, then got to counter 8. They did not want the tm30, first time for that in Jomtien, but they did want the rental agreement and a copy of the residence update attached to our passports. After a few minutes of looking at the copies and our passports, she had us sign a stm2, took our money, gave us claim checks and told us to come back today after 2 pm. We returned and they gave us our newly stamped passports. Turns out it's one year from the date of application, not from the end of the last extension. Lost a few weeks there. So we managed to get our first retirement extension in Jomtien even though the non-o visa was issued in Bangkok, all because we got a covid extension that didn't follow that rule.

Hello All,

I am on a Non Imm O (retirement) extension, and plan to renew again next May.

I forgot what the yearly banking requirments are…

Is it 800k for four months after the extension (or three) date…then can go down to 400k… and must go back up up to 800k three months before the extension expiration date? My extension expires June 23, 2022.

Cheers
