Simple, use Bangkok Bank and pay an agent to do it for you, if you are on a tourist visa. If you're on a long-stay visa (e.g. OA, O, Elite, DTL, etc) then just go to the bank with your passport.

Do I need a guarantor to extend my OA visa in Thailand?

กะลาสี *****

When I first went to extend my visa for the first time, I found the immigration document to be a little unclear so I did a Google search and I actually found examples of the form already filled in. Now I just keep a copy of last year's form and use it as my guide. That said, you may want to try a search if you're having problems.

Do I need my bank statement to be current on the day I apply for a retirement visa in Thailand and should I request a multiple entry re-entry permit now?

I use Jomtien so I can't help but as I said earlier, maybe someone who uses Pathumthani will read this and share their experience with you.

Different immigration offices have different rules. Recommend you comment at which office you will apply, then maybe someone that uses that office can advise you.

What are the best visa options for an American wanting to bring his Thai girlfriend to the USA?

กะลาสี *****

Very difficult to get a visa and if you are successful, it will literally take months. Easier to fly her to Mexico and pay a coyote to sneak her across! Of course I'm not suggesting that you do this but it would be easier.

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?

กะลาสี *****

If it's not too inconvenient (e.g. a long drive for you) go to BKK bank and ask them in person. That way you'll know for sure what the bank will accept.

Do I need to maintain an 800,000 Baht deposit in Thailand if I receive a pension of more than $2,000 a month from the USA?

@Stephen ******************

thanks but I have no need for an agent. I keep 800K in a bank account. I was just making a suggestion for the person who made the initial inquiry about 65K a month, if he didn't have the 800K.

I had no idea you could get it done that cheaply these days!

If you don't have the 800K Baht in the bank there is another option. That being to pay an agent to front you the funds. In my experience most, if not all agents offer this service. However, it'll cost you in the neighborhood of 30K Baht for your first 15 months in TL.
