You haven't specified what Visa you want to apply for.

Therefore no one can answer that.

Many Visas can be applied for in country and many cannot.

So please edit your post to say what visa you are looking at at or the purpose.

For example a non-o based on retirement can be obtained incountry or out of country.

What forms of funds can I deposit at Bangkok Bank aside from cash, and what is the maximum amount I can bring into Thailand without declaring it?

Chris *******

@Vijay ****

I am sick and tired of people who don't know what the rules are, putting their 2 cents in.

If you don't know, don't just put your guess in.

This can have serious ramifications for someone who listens to your incorrect advice.

What are the options for opening a bank account on a tourist visa in Thailand and pursuing long-term residency?

Chris *******

@Andreas ********

that is where you are wrong. They will not accept anything but embassy endorsed income for the first year.

It doesn't matter if he already had 12 months of transfers.

This is why people get trapped.

At some point they have to have the 800k first.

UNLESS their embassy will income certify.

From here believe what you want.

they will only accept 800k first without embassy endorsed income.

Then the 12 months begins for transfers.

What tourist visa options are available for expats frequently visiting Thailand on a UK passport?

Chris *******

There is no official limit.

The officer you are in front will decide when they believe you are abusing or trying to live in Thailand.

NO!

until you actually have a year that you have had the 800k requirements yourself you will need an agent.

It all starts with 800k.

beg, borrow or steal 800k for a year, get the income extension.

Then pay whoever back the funds.

Line of credit, whatever.

Best of luck.

@Ian *******

no as you did not have the 800k originally.

You must have :

800k 2 mths before application

800k 3 mths after approval

400k all year NEVER below.

You will not be able to prove that.

This is how you get stuck with an agent

US customs/immigration have a 10k leaving the country without declaration limit.

Thai allows up to 20k coming in

You can bring as much as you want as long as it's legal and declared though.
