Do I need to transfer my Social Security benefits to a Thai bank for my retirement visa?

กะลาสี *****

IMHO, by far the easiest thing to do is just leave the 800K THB in the bank. You then don't need to worry about any of the pitfalls spoken about in the earlier comments and the pitfalls are indeed real.

What is the fine for late 90-day reporting in Thailand?

กะลาสี *****

I've heard of people not even bothering with the 90 day report. They just pay the 2K fine when it's time to renew the visa.

Will Thailand immigration ask for onward tickets if I'm staying for 56 days?

กะลาสี *****

I didn't read all the comments so maybe this has already been addressed but technically you need to have the equivalent of 20,000 Thai Baht in cash & proof of where you'll be staying (e.g. Proof of hotel booking.) BTW,the 20K THB can be in ANY currency (e.g. GBP, USD, EURO, etc.)
