I thought my question was clear. 90 days rapport. Thanks for the answer.

I think you mix up a lot of things.

If you come with a 90 day non 0 retirement visa. Why the hurry to put that money in a Thai bank?

And its not 800.000 and 65.000.

it is 800.000 in the bank.

Or... 65.000 a month income.

Or a combination of both. Calculate as this... For every 1000 bath income you are short. You need
*****
bath in a Thai bank account. That money must be there untouched in the last 2 months.

To get a retirement visa or his extension. For immigration, you will need...

* TM30 from the landlord where you rent

* Long term (mostly they ask for a year contract) renting contract.

* They will ask you probably to draw a map of the neighbourhood you live in.

* As you don't have a Thai bank account yet. An embassy AFFIDAVIT. To prove your foreign assets or income.

* Visa application.

* copy of passport and entry stamp or visa stamp.

* Picture without glasses.

* If your landlord isn't know by immigration, you need to apply for the landlord's information by the "DBD" in the basement of the immigration office.

* As much as possible documents to prove your assets or income.

I guess that's all.

I live on the outskirts of BKK. You can rent in this neighborhood easily a condo or apartment for less than 10.000 a month. I pay 8000.

Opening a bank account you need a document of immigration + retirement visa + year contract Renting + ( for some banks even a contract with a telecom company.) easiest is "K-bank"

If you want a rental car or scooter. Bring an international driving licence. A simple British is not sufficient.

I hope this info is useful. If you have more questions. Feel free to pm me.

One advice. It looks complicated. But it is easy. So don't use an agent. They are expensive and not worth the money you spend.

it's ALWAYS .. 65.000 a month, or 800.000 on a Thai bank, or a combination of both.
