Realistically, how would a foreigner surviving in Thailand without that requirement amount? Sadly; the funds can withdraw thereafter. I am a Thai person, I will not and unwilling to live there with that amount, even though I have my houses fully paid for.
Thai government need to do better on weeding out disqualified foreigners/applicants .
This comment will not sits well with many, I’ll wait and see the deteriorating comments directed at me . Here we go 3 2 1…..
Thai passport holders having difficulties getting visa to many countries including the UK and The USA.
Work history and income verification , travel history and the tide to Thailand are the crucial factors.
In my younger years, I am among not many Thais that granted visas to every country I wanted to visit. I’ve got my own real estates and assets, single mom in my late twenties which seem to be a big red flag but it’s not an issue for me.
I travel all over long before Ive got the employment base visa and granted Citizenship thereafter.
SCB new product. Got mine upon the recent trip about 3 weeks ago. Finally, I’ve been asking for it. Every thing is on-line with monthly sms messages for bank statements. Coming from The USA where we do not know of the passbook this feel at home. 🥰
Ive just paid $130 plus posted service for passport renewal here in Thailand. Whilst it’s $88 if I’d have it done in The USA. Trying to understand why cost more here, logically!?
From Dallas TX . My rent alone there can covered all my expenses here in Phureau/Loie and Udonthani. $1,200-1,500 per month allows comfortable living conditions for me.
House/car paid for , non smoker/drink occasionally. My most expensive is vet’s bills; I’m caring for two sick pets whose health requires multiple vets visit per week for the rest of their lives.
