Hi to all you helpful moderators!

I am coming to the end of my 1+1 years from my O-A retirement visa. However, I am not returning to Australia to start the process over again.

I am, however, going to apply for the Non-O visa from within Thailand (Chiang Mai) based on retirement once I have done my visa run to the Thai-Laos border (visa exempt = 30 days + 30 days, if needed).

My question is:-

Am I able to qualify for the monthly transfer of income (minimum 65,000 baht) given that I have done that for the last 18 consecutive months OR am I stuck with the 800,000 baht process and convert to the monthly income method after the qualifying period of 12 months?

Regards!

Graham

If I come in from the US on a Non OA retirement visa, how long can I keep my funds in a US bank before I am required to transfer into a Thai account? If and when I am required, may I just transfer in the 65000 baht per month for the first year, or would I need to do the lump sum? I currently earn decent interest on my account, and would like to maintain that as long as possible. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi. I want to apply for an yearly extension O-(retirement)visa.

Have someone experience with the income affidavit from the German consulate in Phuket. How much will the affidavit cost and is that ok with immigration or do I have to transfer the income monthly also. Tia.
