as you say 800K in bank or 65K income are both very clear. My feeling are any mixture leaves too much wiggle room for local immigration office. In which case it might be more complicated 😜

I normally transfer about 70 or 80K each month from Scotland and feel that the 800K is just dead money in my account here.

We need to change our car and I hate paying interest on finance when the money is here earning a pittance in interest.

thank you for your suggestion. That would however be anticipating that Immigration were to accept my proof of income method.

I have lived in Thailand long enough to appreciate that counting unhatched chickens is a foolish thing. I will wait until I see the colour of the ink in my passport before making any withdrawals.🙏🏻
