@Todd ********
oh dear Todd you are confused. Why would I need a few bahts from you when I’ve banked 1.6 million baht and don’t need the little bit of interest it would make if invested at 7%.

Regarding the stamp being legal you may be correct but the terms of keeping it will have failed without funds , I know it’s difficult to understand but keep your head in the sand

A typical expat response when they are bending the rules to suit their inability to meet the requirements of resorting to insults and assumptions people have less funds than themselves. Have a great day

have a day off mate , if you need to make 40,000 bath that much so be it I feel for you.

Can you explain to me if immigration wants to see your bank accounts between renewals and no funds exist what the outcome would be. I’m just interested

My wife have retired here this year from the uk . No agent needed and all straight forward if you can fill a few forms in. The problem comes if the immigration want to see you anytime in between your renewals and the money isn’t in the bank.

Your visa is cancelled. Is a little bit of extra interest worth being here illegally?

Immigration can do a home visit anytime and my friend had one last week.

It’s your decision legal or illegal

We came through in March with 8 large bags and a bike box without any problems. You will probably need a larger than normal taxi👍

I did a bank transfer from U.K. 800,000 x 2 for two people . 24 hours max

I did it this year very simple at Hua Hin immigration in blue port. Signs up outside what you will need and a lady to ask questions. Very easy don’t worry

or just leave the 800,000 alone and forget about it if you are here long term. It’s small money if you have reached retirement age
