@John *******

I do not think anything will change as you can read all the comments above, it's earned income that is to be taxed not mandated saving for visa usually made up of foreign pension or savings that has already been taxed. Do you really think that the Thai tax office is going to employ thousands more employees to go through bank accounts and enquire about specific deposits and when it was earned? It would be a shit storm of the highest magnitude. They don't even check on the majority of the population now.

@Craig *******

stop with the fear mongering.

Have a look on Checkdi (Was Mr Prakan)for all your Thailand insurance requirements

You can compare policies and prices in it from the leading providers

If you have enough time apply for a Non O visa before you fly out and then you won't have much problems here opening a bank account etc, all you will then need is to season your 800k for 2 months before you apply for your yearly extension,

I wish I had gone that route.

For the Non O extension you have to transfer the funds from abroad and the bank statement shows international transfer

@Jeff *****

yeah that's true lol

@Jeff *****

let us know what happens, my second extension is due in a few months, so I'm interested.

Thanks

Clearly says 1 year, so to be sure, just go to the bank 7 working days before and request a year statement

@Kjetil ******

I used them to get my Pacific cross policy, easy to deal with and then I renewed for a second year.
