No explanation needed Best not to say anything about where it came from

@Ian *******

nope not for DTV

You have the visa, next you will apply for "an extension based on retirement" There isn't anything called a pensioner visa

Not that much cash 😀When you transfer funds visa Swift, Wise and others you are asked to enter a reason ( code) From memory it’s something like ‘ long stay’ or ‘retirement’

@Kike ********

no I don’t have a list There is no list

Use the search function to find out other peoples experience

Extension based on retirement requires funds in a Thai bank ( citi and chase are not Thai banks)

Lots of embassies don’t require seasoning just a final balance of 500 K Thb. A search may help you find those that suit you

A rejection doesn't make it a scam Perhaps the passport info wasn't correct, Perhaps there was another error in the application, perhaps the person looking at your application didn't believe your information. Just because you are unaware doesn't make it a scam. You could look t it another way - you were incredibly lucky to be approved the second time around 😀

No

NO based on your DTV Visa. Your passport has no bearing on opening a Bank account
