A funny, entertaining response Robert!! 🙂 🙂

I believe you should definitely stay on as the moderator as that is your preference. As for the man causing you some difficulties, I think you should preempt any problem he may cause by you immediately going to the police, make your case, and ask for their advice.

@Peter ******

Wow! I’m an elderly guy Peter. Should I be going back to Canada? 🙂 Seems to me you made a “rude school boy” comment to Annie. Maybe you should consider returning home to your country Peter. 🙂 Either that or start wearing some “big boy pants.”

Hi Henrik. I believe it is two months before application and three months after application, and then for the next seven months one can go below 800,000 but not below 400,000.

I’ve been in Thailand renewing my retirement visa for ten years now, and the 50,000 baht you refer to “that is needed” is a requirement I have never heard of. The following is my understanding of the financial requirements… no mention of 50,000 baht needed.

“A foreign national whose age is over 50 years or above

Must be able to present the financial evidence between:

- THAILAND BANK ACCOUNT SHOWING THB 800,000 OR

- PENSION/MONTHLY INCOME OF AT LEAST THB 65,000

- PENSION/MONTHLY INCOME x 12 months + SAVING FUNDS TOTALING NOT LESS THAN 800,000 THB

- (If you are an American/British/Australian passport holder and your embassy is no longer do the income/pension verification and you would like to show the monthly income/pension (above 65,xxx THB per month). It is still possible but (US/UK/Australian) applicants have to keep transferring the income/pension into their own Thai bank accounts every single month. Thai immigration will want to prove the last 12 month credit advice provided by your Thai bank.)

Not being prohibited from entering the Kingdom under the Immigration Act B.E.2522 (A.D.1979)

No criminal record of the Kingdom of Thailand, the country of national and …”
