i think i may need help setting up a thai account whilst here . i’ll ask at immigration - i’m

quite keen to do everything “properly”

i don’t have my 800,000b in an account because i thought ( the immigration form seems to indicate ) that a documented income of not less than 65,000b/month would be sufficient

i’ve received differing but all quite helpful advice

my plan is to go to immigration with all the requirements , expecting to be turned away once at least to correct something

as long as i get there and it’s all done properly i’ll be ok . it may take some time and i may have to leave the country for a bit

i’m sure i can get some more information at immigration and visa office

yes

the retirement visa seems most appropriate

i’ve even checked the form from immigration . i seem to meet the requirements but i’m sure there will be some problems i’ll need to be patient with

is opening a thai account a difficult thing

if depositing money is a pre requisite it seems i’ll need one ?
