good questions. I asked her to call for me because I have a bad hearing loss and speaking on the phone is really hard for me. I think the immigration office I go to is doing what you said (road blocks, etc,). I will drive to the office myself and speak with them in person and see if I can resolve this. I do know I am NOT putting in $800k again. Thank you 🙏

@Tod ********

that is what I thought. They are telling my thai gf on the phone that I need a letter from US Embassy or put $800k again for 2 months before I apply for my renewal. How can I convince them about doing it the way you're describing???

@Tod ********

will an immigration office accept a letter from Bangkok Bank showing monthly deposits of at least $65k and a balance of at least $400k from months 7-12??? This is for renewing my one year visa. They're telling me I need to get a letter from the US Embassy in Bangkok but I know the embassy will not generate any statement about my monthly pension, etc. Any suggestions??? Thank you.

@Tod ********

got it. Thanks

@Tod ********

what if it's $385k for a week then went back to more than $400k???

was never asked those questions and can't imagine they would be asked

what a hassle really

Excellent information

I am on a 90 day until November. I need to go back to immigration first week in October to finish everything up and get my retirement visa. This process started in July after I arrived. I made my first $65k deposit this month. I have had $800k in a thai bank account since July.
