Non O retirement visa requires 800,000 baht in a Thai bank. How difficult (or not) is it getting your money out and back to their home country if they decide to return home? Is it just a matter of a bank transfer? Any penalties?
Potential problem discovered today. Some immigration offices may ask you for proof your bank deposit came from abroad. Many people use online banks like Wise. But Wise send from their Wise London bank to a partner bank in Thailand, and then on to your bank. So your deposit's code in your Thai bank is not from abroad. Immigration can therefore make this an obstacle - that needs overcoming - to get your visa. Note: not all offices or officers ask for this apparently.
UPDATE: According to others, it seems this problem has been solved by Wise giving an option to send "funds for longstay". If, like me however, you sent the funds before this option was available, the problem remains. You will most likely have to resend the funds from abroad. My local office will not accept the Wise (funds sent) statement as proof.
When transferring money into Thailand, when you go to show the transfers for income verification... So things like WISE register differently than wires?
I have a BBL account in Pattaya and have now moved to Khon Kaen and had to open a new BBL account there.
Now I have 2 bank books.
At the bank they said that I can show both bank books when I extend my retirement visa for the second time.
I want to transfer the entire 800k to the new bank account.
When should that be (I would like to do it now)?
Do I still have to show the bank documents from the old bank in Pattaya (if the bank account is near empty) when I extend my visa for the 1 year (it won't be easy logistically to do everything on the same day)?
I won't be a tax resident until 2025.
Is there anything to consider regarding taxes regarding the timing of the transfer of the 800k from the old to the new bank?
Regarding the 65k xfer to thai account every month for next year extension of a non-O visa - can the deposit be any time each calendar month (e.g., Oct 5, Nov 23)?
Also, can it be multiple deposits in the month that add up to more than 65k, rather than a single xfer each month?
Does anyone know the best way to move money from the us to Thailand. I used the atm but their exchange rate sucks. Wired money to my Thai bank account and that exchange rate cost me 2000baht on a 1,000 us deposit, worse than ATM
From Siam Legal updated 2024. This reads as if one can simply transfer 40k from an American account each month to qualify. That sounds quite lenient to me.
Hi i rented a condo in BKK. The owner would like to have a slip every month for the rent transfer. Is that usual? Because every transfer has a reference and name field. Wondering for what they need the slips for?
