yup. 2x

If you don’t have 65k each month (per person), that is. And if you go for that, make sure that the worst exchange rate won’t break your plans.

I once said that we need twice the minimum and ppl laughed. Then the the baht rose and they had to leave.

Good plan. 800k isn’t that much anyway.

And should you get married to a Thai, then it’s 400k only (and hopefully she will have a good job to contribute).

Once you start using an agent to fake the money in bank, you can’t go back.

Mind you, I didn’t say anything about letting an agent do the paperwork. I wouldn’t pay for that but some ppl just can’t do it, so they need to pay for it.

But getting around the requirements by letting an agent bribe the officer is just dumb. There will be no record of your money anywhere (the immigration takes the bank statements for a reason).

Are you talking about tax declaration, maximizing your profits or what?
Robert ********
You should have posted the picture that you commented in an answer right in the post.

Then everybody would have told you that you do not have a re-entry permit and need to get one before leaving the country.

Either at the immigration or right before the passport checks at the airports.
Robert ********
Yes. And many other ways work too.

What I strongly advise against is using an agent to get around the 800k requirement!

All notaries must do it. And lots of lawyers are notary.
