Do you also need copies of all the pages in your bank book too? Or bank issued statements that show this?

Given that this is a fairly new change, (January 2019), for meeting the requirements of getting a non immigrant O visa based on being over 50, and extensions of same, I think it is important to share this information, especially as no-one has yet tried to get such a visa or an extension, using the 65K baht per month transfered from outside Thailand into a Thai Bank account. It is extremely important for those using this method to get up to date information and to be aware of the pitfalls. If you have chosen to use the 800K banked in a Thai bank, option or you have a non immigrant OA, just scroll past, as I do when I see posts concerning work visas, marriage visas, volunteer visas or visas for those visiting Thai children. Please don't deny others who need this information

@Kun *******

my SWIFT transfer from my Australian bank showed up as a domestic transfer as it had gone via Citibank in Bangkok first. I trued to do everything right, as suggested by others and moderators in this group; I opened a Bangkok Bank account, I spurned transferwise as an option and I used an international transfer with a SWIFT code from my oversesa bank to my Bangkok Bank account, but still it ended up appearing in my Bangkok Bank account as a domestic transfer

Using a SWIFT transfer isn't a sure thing either. My Australian bank chose to send my monthly equivalent of 65K baht to Citibank in Bangkok before it landed in my Bangkok Bank account, and thus it ended up recorded as a domestic transfer. The Bangkok Bank manager advised me to use transferwise in future as he was adamant that the SWIFT transfer from my overseas bank would not meet the requirements for my next visa extension

Tod Daniels Often have officials boarding the buses heading to and from Mae Sai checking documents. Admittedly they are looking for people from Myanmar without the correct paperwork mostly but it could be riskier for her than an airport departure

After you've done the first one you can do subsequent 90 day reports by post or online. I use the postal method 81 baht for stamps, EMS tracking and two envelopes. It's very efficient, my last one took 4 days to come back to me after lodging it at the post office

Valentina O'Gara I'm sorry you had such a hard time of it, I had read your comments in previous posts and was honestly expecting the same. This is why I posted because it was such a surprise and hopefully a change

Ha ha, No, It was Friday sorry

You do not need to take the tenant's passport, a copy of their ID page should be enough to register them as staying at your place, at least that's all my landlord needed when he did my TM30. I guess you could take along a copy of their visa and entry stamp just to be sure

I guess you could come on a single entry tourist visa from your own country as you did last time, enter for 60 days and extend for 30. Then you could do a border run to Mae Sai / Tachileik get another 30 days entry which you can extend at immigration for a further 30 days giving you five months in total, and then if you required one or two months more you could do the border run via Mae Sai again. You are permitted two such land border crossings per calendar year
