"will need to do 2

X 0 Baht for bank accounts" that is actually not correct. this is where an agent might help you to understand the actual process, however if you do yourself, doubtful that an immigration agent will point this out to you. only ONE person is required to apply for a retirement visa, and the spouse can do a "follow along" visa, based my their spouses valid Retirement Visa, saving you 800K and I believe most agents won't charge you as much as a retirement visa for the "follow along", as there is a lot less involved. also keep in mind whoever does the 800k, this can not be a joint account!!

actually only 1st person needs the 800k. 2nd one can do a "follow along visa" or some similar name, based on the spouses retirement visa. catch is have to wait 12 months. AFIK can't use joint account, just create 1 for you, and 2nd joint account.

you say they asked for "different docs" but not specified which ones, or if you sent them. if they want a document, no amount of "explanations" will resolve it, only the requested documents... no exceptions. if you can't supply the docs, you can play resubmit 1000's of times, and never get past that point.

not sure what/where you looked, but most condo's I've seen and also rented a few, had both.

In usa it happens all the time

@Robert ********

completely incorrect. Homeland secretary has many times been on the boarding ramp asking this exact question

There's a tv series of real immigration agents from several different countries that is rather helpful to watch and clear up a lpt of completely incorrect information about this topic

@Stuart ********

that is incorrect

@Keith *******

no its per family

@Tom ********

yes i think that's what we were discussing however someone else can bring 100k and declare it and see what happens 😉 😄

Rule is less than 10k for a group and not per person. There's a tv series " something smugglers" can't recall exact name but this comes up a fair bit and you break that rule they seize it all and you won't ever get it back. That's any country not just USA
