Can I open a K bank account in Pattaya on a non-O retirement visa?

Max *************

@Tony ****

The reason you're in Pattaya is irrelevant. My point is having a bank account in one province while officially staying in another might be a bit problematic in the long run. Get it?

@Marianne *******

Because of for example bank letters or bank statements needed at immigration in the province where you're staying. It's not very practical to have your money in another province.It might be quite hard to open a bank account in one province with an official address in another one.You must imo be lucky to pull it off.

What is the best bank in Thailand for expats from the USA to transfer funds?

@Mma ******

Yes,and the reason he mentioned 50k was the fact he didn't know about the increase to 500k. 😎

Do you still need to deposit 65,000 baht a month for a retirement visa in Thailand?

@Marty ********

You don't need to file anything when it comes to income from pensions. The Revenue Department is not going after retirees living on income from pension and imo they never will. Don't listen to scaremongers. Just relax.😎

Meaning Belgium is all of Europe? There are 27 countries in the EU and (officially) 44 countries in Europe. Just saying.

@Andy *********

The problem is where he's officially staying. Having an account in Pattaya Chonburi while staying in another province is not very smart. There might be problems when applying for the 1 year extension.

Can I extend my 90-Day Non-O Visa in Thailand or must I exit and re-enter on a 30-day exemption?

@Jack *******

If his 90 days Non-O is based on marriage, he must extend the stay based on marriage. Next year he can change to based on retirement if he want.

@Jim *******

The fee at KBank when receiving money from abroad via swift is maxed out at 500 baht. The minimum is 200-250 baht, I honestly don't remember the exact amount. There's no receiving fee for transfers via Wise.

There are 61 countries with DTA's with Thailand. My country is of course one of those. 👍
