@Elías *******

When are people going to wake up to the fact that the Thai Tax Office don't give a sh*t about the few baht difference in tax rates. They're going after the billionaires, not the expat pensioners! Jesus wept!

What are the requirements for maintaining the 800K baht for a retirement visa in Thailand regarding monthly deposits?

Jim ********

I don't know about the "same day" thing. Bangkok don't worry. I've had deposits on the 1st of the month, right through to 20th. The criteria is 65k each calendar month

Sort of correct. You don't need any visa, and you get a free 60-day entry stamp when you arrive. Whatever you do when you arrive in Thailand DO NOT follow the "Visa On Arrival" signs, just follow the hoardes
