Are there specific requirements for the 65,000 transfer into my account each month for the next 12 months? I probably will use Wise from my USA account. Do I remember reading something about how it has to be labeled?

To get a DTV visa, I need to be employed in my home country, which means I have to show a work contract. The contract must clearly state that my employer allows me to work remotely. Is that correct?

And what to do to get Long Stay Visa with work permit? Is there any for professional workers?

After coming in and out of Thailand for over a year I via tourist visa, just got stopped and pulled at dmk immigration and questioned that it's illegal to use a "free visa" for longer term (I corrected them and said exempted). Now they won't let me in again with this visa type anymore. It seemed they just started doing questioning more and more people. I will need to get a different visa type going forward in order to continue my stable relationship with my Thai gf. The pressure and intensity of authority they are going with is really. It felt to me like they are trying to find things to pressure people to do dtv or Similiar.

Tim Newton of Tim Newton Today upped intell three hours ago re the bank account drama.

TLDR: He strikes a more positive vibe and in essence it’s “hold tight” as the situation is developing. His sources indicate it might blow over in as little as a few weeks.

He does state that reports are correct that there’s no “goverment decree” ban but that tightened diligence is effectively banning new accounts.

Personally this will deeply affect me. My last several visits (VoA) I’ve been too busy to open an account. I now regret my procrastination. For me it’s about quality of life - easier and cheaper access to transferred funds, ability to use QR, easier online shopping through Thai websites (ever had your non-Thai card rejected?), easier and cheaper transfers to help my girlfriend’s sick buffalo, etc. I’m a very cashless person too.

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.

Does anyone have an up to date list of the requirements for a Retirement Visa (12 month extension of stay) for the Roi Et Immigration Office. TIA
