Has anyone experienced opening a bank account in Pattaya and the bank asked for 10,000 baht fee? as requirement to get a retirement visa. Thanks for any info.

Alert!: Thai wife visa: I just extended it, with, as usual, the 400k on my bank account. Bangkok Bank says they will block it for 6 months! Indeed, I see I cannot use the 400k! But I read nothing about this new rule in the immigration website! Any idea? Thanks

We would like to pay our foreign funds into this account instead of handing all this money to agent initially, we a bit scared of that, Question : is it possible to open a thai bank account while on a tourist visa ? Any help would be great thanks 🙏🌸

For the 1 year extension based on marriage, does it have to be transfered from a foreign account or can I bring a good chunk of it in with me in euros and change it to baht and lodge it in my account?

I was just thinking I'd fair better in regards to the exchange rate bringing the cash physically in with me .Cheers 🙂

Not sure if i have stuffed up here or not, i was told by Nonthaburi imm to go back on the 11march to apply for the 12 month extension,

The cash had to be in the bank for 2 months, i changed banks on the 19th Jan, so my new passbook wont show 2 months, should i just copy my old passbook and hand that in with the new one?
