@Simon ********

the money needs to be documented as international transfers into a Thai bank. this last extension, in cm, they also wanted documentation that the funds transferred came from a pension source.

if ur not in Thailand u would apply for an OA, if u had an O, and left thailand, deapite the red flag warnings, and had transferred money monthly to an acct of yours here, that money is still yours in ur acct.

I have used the monthly deposits for many annual extensions and never had a problem-- yes, there are documents to gather, but I'd rather have my 800,000 available for use, or invested at more than 1%.
