Meh!

@Ellie ******

Thank you for your generous and detailed reply to my hypothetical and gaming it out. This is not a strategy I will pursue, but if you don't ask you don't know and it looks in any case like there would be little gain in it, and good chances to get on the wrong foot with Immigration. Thanks again for laying out the details and information.

Thank you Ellie Takei and James Miller the good advices!

@John *********

Okay, I'll leave you with 'the answers' such as they are. 555

@John *********

imho it bears a lot of repeating. It's not clear and the default always circles back to 800K for lack of creative thinking I guess

@Nick ***********

Thanks your advice and John Stanners of going in to the local office, I'm in Bangkok, for a chat. Will do. But you lost me with the rest...the previous convers was regards the 65K method, not 800K. ?? can you address that? I have less than zero interest in 800K and looking to build a functional method combining monthly 65K deposits over a year plus methods of being visa-ed and living in Thailand as much of that time period as possible. Thoughts?

@Nick ***********

Any offices in particular you might know of? Or how you might figure that out? Can you discuss this kind of thing in an interview at immigrations?

@Dianne ****

Yes, a Moderator here had said this also, thanks. Do you know if there is any requirement to use particular banks or is it any bank in Thailand? My account is with Citibank Thailand.

@Nick ***********

Very interesting this line of calculations. Can you expand on it? What if you had a higher monthly balance, could your monthly transfer in be less? If you had a standing balance of 65K, then how much transferred in monthly? Is there some minimum monthly transfer activity necessary?

@John *********

Yes, I remember some kerfuffle between the embassies and Immigration that got the embassy to withdraw it. I'll find a work around and keep it posted here. If all you need to show is a 1 year history of 65K monthly deposits from outside Thailand, then apply, the work around is how you remain in or near Thailand for a year.
