Greg Alexander thanks Greg .

So in effect . 3 months before we plan to move to Thailand we should both put 19k (800,000 thb) into our bank account

And submit the e visa showing this ( plus any income)

Then we travel to Thailand , open 2 separate bank accounts and transfer the money into the the Thai account .

2 months later we apply for the 12 months extension of temporary stay

If we are granted this ( is there any reason it may not be granted ?)

Then we keep the 800,000 thb in for another 3 months

Realistically we could ( probably not worth the hassle ) send 400.000 thb x 2 to one account for 6 months and transfer it back 2 months before we apply for another year ?

As long as 400,000 thb stays in the account for as long as you live on Thailand - all is good ?

Separate question

Can you open more than one account so income from uk can be paid into another account or is it just easier to have the one account

Thanks

Thank you both ! 🙏

Jim Davis lucky you

I’m not that but don’t look down on those less fortunate

Jim Davis why the need to be rude ! Nothing nice or constructive to say Jim -rule of thumb - keep quiet
