Jeremy Miller I haven't seen anything on the Thai gov website that indicates the two months of deposits that will go into the Thai bank, before the date of the 1 year extension application, will not be counted even if they are consecutive with the following months. The only stipulation seems to be 12 consecutive months prior to application, which will actually be 14-15 months of consecutive deposits at the time of the 2nd one year extension
Tony Birnseth You didn't say why it doesn't make sense. I will be making monthly deposits into the Thai bank for living expenses, but I will make sure the amount is 65k. This so when the first one year extension expires I can switch to the 65k model...15 months later, as you said
Thanks! Let me be more clear... I have 90 days before the visa expires. Does the count start the day I land in BKK?. This is important if I have to find a semi-permanent address, open a bank account and season 800k before the 90 day visa expires
