Hi

I have received

my NON-O retirement Visa and will be leaving on the 11 of Dec 25

To Bangkok Thailand

I have secured a condo

For a year s lease

And will take the necessary docs to immigration and then to a Bank to open a Bank Account my question is what steps to take to deposit the required monies into the new Thai bank after opening this bank account

I can have the required monies

Sent directly to bank in Thailand thru USA bank

But that would take some time

Hours days ? does bank allowed

Time for monies to transfer

As I would not have the required deposit on my person

Please advise as to how to

Accomplish this task

Thanks

When I put my 800,000 baht into KB . Will I be able to transfer it back to US if an emergency arrives and I have to go back? Is it safe ?

Seasoning money question: If I transferred 800,000 thb into my Thai bank account on 18th July 2025, when is the earliest date that I can go to immigration for my retirement extension? I assume 18th September but want to be sure. Thanks!

Hi I am on my 2nd year of non O visa with the 800,000 in the bank of Bangkok our visa is due June 7 2026 .

But we would like to go with a different bank, can we just transfer the 800,000 to the new bank and not be penalized

What do you find to be the cheapest, easiest, and fastest service to use when transfering smaller amounts money to Thailand?

Hi a relative newbie here.

I arrived from UK on Saturday on non o Visa

I have obtained certificate of residence from immigration and today was successful in opening a bank account with Krungthai Bank.

What is the correct way to transfer the 800,000 ?

Can I just do it from my UK bank direct to Krungthai bank?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

On 6 June 2024 the IO here in Chiang Mai granted me an extension of stay based on the Non - O over 50 (retirement) visa using the international bank transfer of 800,000 baht. The expiry date ends on July 2 2025 (in effect 13 months according to the stamps in my passport).

The next extension of stay will be applied for and based on the monthly income method of 65,000 baht minimum international bank transfer every month for 12 months.

Question:-

Do the 12 x monthly statements run from:-

1) June 2024 to May 2025 inclusive (12 months);

2) July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (12 months);

3) June 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (13 months).

Regards!

Hi All, Renewed my Non O yesterday but had problems at the bank again with them not understanding what's required. Eventually got there but I'm wondering if anyone has swapped their bank recently while using the 800k method for the visa? Would I need to duplicate the 800k in the new account or can I transfer it from old to new, after the 3 months is up? Thanks

What is the best way to send large amounts of money to thailand. I have a bank account in thailand already. ?
