@Peter ********

Bangkok bank do not charge any fees on International transfers.

Brandon Thurkettle Well that was certainly NOT my experience because my Visa Agent/Lawyer put in and took out the 800k the same day and I just transferred 65k a month for the next 12 months.

Your first renewal is based solely upon the 65k transfer being made every month and absolutely nothing to do with retaining any monies in your account which would only be required if your first renewal was being based upon the “old” method which is not what you are applying for.

Maybe I got lucky but that was definitely my experience as I have NEVER had 800k or even 400k in my bank account other than the day that the agent deposited it and took it out the same day after my visa application was lodged.

@Brandon ***********

Not if he transfers 65k Baht every month for the 12 months prior to his first renewal and then qualifies under those provisions which I have been doing for the last four years.

The process is not that difficult just needs a lot of copies of various things plus bank statement/letter etc etc details of which are available in printed form from any Immigration Office..

“Confusion”?

90 Days is 90 Days, not something you “dream up”, plus the “due date” for your next report is printed on the slip inserted in your passport.

I sometimes wonder how these idiots manage to get to the end of the street in Thailand!

FFS, just look at your booking conditions!

The amount of inane questions that are being asked on this site that a simple Google search would answer is totally undermining the very REASON for the site!

FFS, use Google for exchange rates!

Is this really a serious post?

WTF?

Welcome to Thailand and get a Lawyer but not one that will rip you off too because he knows you are gullible!
