Did Michael Luken get an update from his question:- ?

Michael Lucken

James Miller Yes so if he does not have the 65k a month would they not expect a 400k minimum and then the 800k 2 months before ? I am not sure how that works when switching from 65k a month method.....to the 800k / 400k method...

I’ll need to start smoking again if I travel since it’s been discovered that smokers are less like to be hospitalized due to Covid-19, they just die of lung disease anyway 555.

I made the decision to extend my Visa this year even though I had plans to leave. That was a fortunate decision, but my investments in my new home has deprived me of the opportunity to extend in 2021. Hopefully there is an alternative solution before 2021, like a travel window.

Hi James, I extended my Non-O Visa based on Retirement last February by 12 payments of 65,000 in my Thai Bank Account , so I am good until February 2021.

Fully expecting to be out of Thailand this year I made a substantial investment in another country with my Fiancee. Leaving Thailand this year is starting to look improbable. Since time is not an issue I am attempting to make advance plans so that I have a solution if February 2021 arrives and I am still travel restricted. The best solution would be to remain in Thailand where I am safe, (76 years old) until I can be on my way. It would be a struggle to raise 800,000 at this point but it may not be out of the question.

what if they returned the 800,000 to the husbands US account using DeeMoney, opened a new Thai bank account in the husbands name and transferred the funds back again using TransferWise?
