@Donald *******
transfer the 800,000 back to your home bank account! Then apply for the visa, again, through the E-Visa online system in the USA. Because the three months bank statements maybe get accepted if the updated account net is more than 800,000 THB equivalent at the date of application, and the 3-mon ths statements are proof enough that you held that required sum over a long time

You are adressing the wrong person. Myself it never took me more than 10 minutes to get a certificate of residency. Nowadays I have a yellow housebook, I don't need the COR any more

@Michael *******
sure, yes, even the ones done at the Amphur first need a verification by court before the beneficiary can access the funds

@Yo***
it depends what you are asking from Immigration. If you have entered on a 90-days Non-O visa, for an application to the 1-year extension based on retirement, Immigratin won't ask for the source. For the application to the "change of visa type" on Immigratin inside Thailand, Immigration wants a proof that the 800,000 came from abroad

@Graham *****
not even then it gives immediate access to the funds. A Thai Last Will first goes to the court to be approved, this process can take up to 6 months

@David *******
this probably means that your U.S. Bank used a subsidiary (Bangkok Bank?) in Thailand for an in-between step. Actualy the same WISE is doing - they have a Kasikorn account in Thailand

just get a single re-entry permit for 1000 THB either at Immigration, or for 1200 THB at the BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport in "Departure 2" right before the exit Immigration desks, to keep the 90 days stay permit alive when you exit Thailand. The re-entry permit will be valid until December 23rd. . . . . . only when you get issued the 12-months extension, it might be worth considering if a 3800 THB multi entry permit fits the purpose. Because if you don't plan to exit and re-enter Thailand during these 12 months more often than 3 times, it saves money buying single re-entry permits prior to each exit

@Jim ******
if they are legally married, they don't need a Thai Last Will for his bank account deposits

@Jim ******
I don't think you have a multi entry Non-O visa, because they were discontinued to be issued by October 2023. You rather are on a "1-year Extension of the Stay Permit" and bought a 3800 THB multi re-entry permit for it
