@Mike ******

got it. Thanks !

@Mike ******

thanks for the detailed explanation ! Should I have the entire 800 k in the bank account when applying for the 90-day immig-0 visa, or is that when you apply for the extension ?

Applying for a retirement Visa

Many comments are advising about getting bank accounts, and then other comments say they are no longer opening new bank accounts.. I understand the part about they are harder to get these days, but I haven't read any info that they stopped opening them ... How is anyone going to get a Visa to move, if they don't ? Sounds like they no longer want visitors ??(

Any additional information as to where this is stated, and why only a agent can open it would be helpful . Thanks

@Simon ******

so, how are people moving there then, if they are not opening bank accounts ?? Am I missing something here?

I don't think Thai accepts monthly income towards the $800, 000 baht requirement anyway..(Example: 1 year ext retirement Visa.)

@Henrik ****

I'm a bit confused... I will be moving to Thai on a 3 month retirement Visa with plans to do a one-year extension. So, how would I get my 1-year Extension Visa, if I have to stay there 3 months before I can get a bank account. My 3 months Visa would have ran out by then.

I'm beginning to think my brain would be better off, not listening to all the misinformation I get off this week. 🤪😭😂🤣

@Nongnuch *******

they definitely need clearer and more elaborate explanations, such as what you are giving !
