@Martin ******

Cann you tell me what you did? I’m interested too. Thanks 🙏🏽

@Rick ********

There is no standard as far as I know. She should just write in her own words that she invites you and that you will stay with her.

Follow the rules on the website of the Thai embassy near you to get a nonO visa. Once you’re in Thailand ask the immigration next to your residence.

@Andy ******

Does your immigration never verify your money via statement and certification from your bank that it’s your account and money came from outside the country?

@Carsten ***********

If you know that so well then go ahead….

Why don’t you explain how you can get a statement showing that you lawfully had the amount in your account over 5 months in each of the last 3 years?

@Floyd *****

Yes. 65k per month *every* month.

I did it wrong the first time, believing that the average is counted - but no, it must be every month.

@Andy ******

They open one for you? How without you ever being there and signing?

And where are the statements that you have the money 3 months before and after the day each year in that account?

@Floyd *****

If you’re asking to get around the 800k requirement… don’t, just don’t.

If you start with bribing an officer there will be no way back as there are no records of you ever having a bank account in your name.

If you don’t have the 800k, send 65k every month and use the bank statement to get your retirement extension.

Do not try the non-OA.

All other visas do not require any check.

@Victor ******

You get the nonO visa from the Thai embassy in your country.

You enter Thailand.

You open an account and send 800k THB (must say “foreign transfer” on the statement).

You go to the immigration and get a one year retirement extension near the end of your visa.

If one branch doesn’t let you open an account, Goto the next. You might need a proof of residence from the immigration. Best chances are Bangkok bank, then Kasikorn.
