This may be a silly question

When opening a Thai bank on a non o visa in readiness for the 1 year retirement visa can you deposit more than the required 800 K baht ? If so , can I take out money for day to day living expenses but still have the 800 K in the bank and not be penalised by immigration when the time comes for the yearly application extension. Thankyou

DTV approved, anyone have any tips to open a thai bank account, if it's not possible with DTV is it possible with an agent in Bangkok? Unable to find any solid on this so far.

A group member mentioned that TransferWise is now listing the money transfer as a transfer from bank to bank and not an international transfer. I was told that Immigration wants to see one-year international money transfer for one year of 65k baht or more per month to qualify for the one year Visa extension and they will not accept the bank to bank transfer.

If all the above is true could someone please tell me how they satisfy the Immigration requirement for monthly money transfer and please do not mention the 800,000 baht in personal account, I'm aware of this way already.

Thank you!
