Anonymous participant 424 Correct! And neither marriage nor retirement visa holders are required to show funds when re-entering even though it's a requirement to maintain funds

Anonymous participant Here you are entering Thailand. I'm sure you'll give immigration the biggest laugh of the year

Anonymous participant No-one is getting grilled! 😂😂. You need to stop listening to the anonymous fearmongers

Listen to the fear-mongers in this group and they will tell you to bring all your documentation with you. These people are obsessed with printing printing printing. All you need is your passport, and at a push a picture of your eVisa

Probably easier and more economical to just start using the money and let it run down itself to a more manageable amount to transfer

@Lawrie ******

The 800k sorts out the viable retirees against those who are broke

Nope. 800k in Thai bank account is the only option, other than 65k per month international transfer

@Cris *****

I wouldn't be basing your banking strategy on three whiney posts from expats who are probably using visa agents! I extended my retirement visa two weeks ago. Been with Bangkok Bank twelve years, never had a problem. No suspension, no freezing. BB has a great app - I use QR scan to pay for everything in Thailand, never let me down once. Great bank

@Michael ******

They don't. That's a fact

@Michael ******

The only problem with SCB is they don't label the transfers as coming from overseas, which is why most 65k transferers will use Bangkok Bank or Kasikorn
