you have to prove international transfers each and every month for one year.

If your embassy will certify your pension, you can do it this way. Otherwise, you need to put in the ฿800,000 as normal, and then for a year, arrange a transfer of ฿65,000 per month. Then you can switch to the monthly income method. 

I forwarded mine to Google Drive before I left the United States seven years ago. It still works. It seems like you can’t get a drive unless you’re in the United States to store it though. When people call it, they get a message that says say your name, and then it puts them through and ask if you want to receive a call from John, etc.

I meant if you carry physical banknotes.

I lost track of the OP country, but I would not take large amount of cash to the United States. They can take it under civil forfeiture , claim you are a drug dealer or or money launderer and you are unlikely to get it back. Many stories about this.

and make absolutely sure when you present your passport at the airport, to say this is on a reentry permit. Turn your passport to that page, even they will take it back to the first page. Look him/her straight in the eye, because often when they’re bored and tired and will start to automatically stamp you in for 30 days instead. check your passport stamp before you leave the area. 

@Tod ********

this is right; I have had it take over a month before.
