I planned to enter Thailand by 60 days TR visa. Upon arrival, then change to non o 90 days visa based on retirement. One of the requirement is 800k baht bank in thai bank 2 month before retirement extension.

I read some information from other, when apply the retirement extension from non -0 90 days, it need to provide the source of fund from aboard , such as FET issued from bank.

From my knowledge, the FET issued from bank is possible only when the fund remitted from aboard to Thailand in “foreign currency”. But I plan to remit the fund in thai baht of 800k directly to Thai bank (not in foreign currency then convert to Thai baht by local Thai bank)

Is it a requirement the immigration need such proof of fund remitted in “foreign currency” by FET? Or they also accept the fund remitted in thai baht from aboard ? ( I am planning to apply the above at pattaya immigration. Anyone have such experience related to application made in pattaya immigration)

Thanks for advise !
