Robert It s from the Department of Health Service Support ...

@Ricky *******

I am applying my extension of stay (retirement) with time deposit (1.5% p.a.) since I turned 50 ... now I am 64 years old. Never ever Immigration at CW caused trouble ... even when I applied with another currency than THB (has to be equal to 800 TTHB or more)

Same purpose Gregor, but time deposit since > 15 years. Never caused trouble at CW or before at Suan Plu

Okay. Thank you Tod and Robert.

YES ... the difference RTP ./. MFA is ?

Robert, yes, right. But the requirement for 800 TTHB (or *equal to*) is the same for RTPI & MoFA, isn t it ? Are they different indeed ?

-Non-Immigrant-Visa-%22O-A%22-(Long-Stay).html A copy of bank statement showing a deposit of the amount *equal to* and not less than 800,000 Baht or an income certificate (an original copy) with a monthly income of not less than 65,000 Baht, or a deposit account plus a monthly income totalling not less than 800,000 Baht.

One should always have a plan B in mind when dealing with Thai immigration !
