What are the current requirements for the retirement visa renewal at Bangkok Bank?

@Mikkel ******

You'll probably find it's in the terms and conditions, and you'll probably have to sign an authority to freeze the money anyway. Banks love another piece of paper 😆

What is the new policy from Bangkok Bank regarding long-term visa holders and bank account balance certificates?

Andy ************

@Det ******

The bank has no interest in customers who keep very little in their account, and then once a year 800,000 is deposited and withdrawn in the space of a day. Hardly good business strategy is it?

@Det ******

They shouldn't, but they're probably aware that they're being used by visa agents in order to obtain dodgy visas. There's no benefit to any bank to hold 800,000 baht for less than a day

What are the latest tax residency rules for Retirement O visa holders in Thailand regarding monthly remittances?

Andy ************

@Todd ********

Exactly! And it's also possible to be a dual tax resident, and thanks to the specific DTA, it's possible for your home tax residency to boot the Thai tax residency out of the equation! And you've diluted your last comment. You actually said "they absolutely will be taxing foreign income" - that's way off the mark
