How long do I need to maintain the 800k deposit after my retirement visa approval if I'm switching to the 65k monthly method?

Richard ********

@Gerg *********

Wrong.

800k for three months after extension based on bank balance is approved.

Then can withdraw 400k

400k until extension based on income is approved.

Then can withdraw remaining 400k.

What is the best way to deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account for visa purposes?

Richard ********

Wise does not have a "very bad" rate. It is generally considered to be one of the best.

"Almost all banks" and "the Thai government" don't like Wise???

You are just making up drivel.

Can I obtain a Thai driving license if I visit my wife in Thailand a few times a year?

You don't need an idp.

You only get five years if you are on a long stay visa or extension. Otherwise just two years each time.

What country and flight number should I put on my TDAC when transiting through Dubai?

Richard ********

@Henry ********

Believe it or not, but that device sitting on the officer's desk is amazingly connected to a network. Your passport gets scanned and all your data is displayed.

Try going through without filling in a TDAC.
