@Stan *****
I believe he proposed I switch to the 65k method
Malcolm *****
@Stan *****
where did I ask where I am going to get 65k a month from. Read my post; I said I don’t have another 800k.

I have 800k in a bank account to qualify for my retirement visa. 65k per month is irrelevant

@Stan *****
incorrect - you’re confused because you’re wrong about needing to show 65kthb.

@Jim ********
I’m looking into that - it’s a good idea. Although I don’t think this particular bank branch will accept it. But it will help with future accounts and banks that are not corrupt like this one

@David ********
what did you do to maintain your visa when this happened?

@Sylvia *******
thanks -

Yes I hope so. Just need to get the exact person’s name at immigration

@Sylvia *******
sounds like I might have to do this. My end plan is to get away from this bank - my original question was how to move banks

@Lynnette ******
did you bother to read my post - because you’re not answering the question I actually asked 🤔

@Lynnette ******
you’re assuming. The branch my account is with is 1000kms away, not easy just to drop in.

I went to a branch close to where I live. They said they could assist, they pulled out the bank manual of requirements and told me what to supply also they can facilitate the unfreezing. Unfortunately it appears each branch can do why they want head office does not do anything.

I was only just told in the last

Couple of days, after waiting many weeks for the branch to contact me, that they possible need one of two things (rental agreement or “impossible” embassy letter)

@Lynnette ******
on two separate calls they have told me they require two different things; first was a lease agreement, the second was a “certificate” as they put it, from my Australian embassy confirming I reside in Thailand. Pretty sure my embassy are not actually authorised to provide that ?
