question, the requirements for showing a monthly deposit of baht. I assume you need to make monthly or would they accept a larger deposit less often (quarterly) that averages that amount?

The reason is simplicity. Move over larger amount (ideally when the exchange is good) and cut down and any transfer fees.

I am back in the states after being over for 5 months. Anyone have suggestions on best approach to transferring money and thoughts on issues with opening a bank account remotely vs just going back in a tourist visa than setting up all this when I arrive?

helpful. I am in the process of moving over and will plan to retire. I won’t have a pension but a large number of money in 401k and investment

The validation letter, is that to verify an actual monthly pension only or can they verify a total net worth showing I have more than enough ?

I was planning on dropping the 800k in a Thai account as I would typically keep 2-4 times that amount liquid but if I can hold it elsewhere it gives me more options

I am coming from the US
