That’s for a retirement extension.

7 days after due if you go in person to your local immigration office.

Tao does indeed have its own immigration office. I have no idea what their policy on the number of days prior is.

@Deniz ********

I understand the complexity of getting the 800k in to your Thai bank so you have it there for 2 months prior to your application for a year extension but I am not familiar with German banking laws regarding “large” transfers. Others have suggested it’s not a problem and it will be reported automatically by your bank.

@Stephan **********

And is it any different if you do 10x 2k transfers?

@Deniz ********

Ok. I’ve no idea on German regulations regarding money transfers via bank to bank, but for most people you just set up a bank transfer from your overseas bank to your Thai bank and that’s it.

The OP could do two or three transfers to keep them under the 12.5k euro limit if they like. It doesn’t have to be done in one transaction. It just has to be a balance of 800k Thai baht on application.

Not really quite sure what you’re asking.

If you send your bank to bank transfer from your German bank to your Thai bank then it will show as a foreign transfer (FET). If you use a third party transfer service like Wise it may not show as that and you would need to request from your Thai bank evidence that it was an FET.

The authorities in Germany or Thailand have nothing to do with it.

@Robert ********

sorry but I don’t understand the date you mentioned, nor bounced your limit. I suspect the latter is referring to you’ve done two land border crossings this year using exempt entries.

@Robert ********

Ah ok. That explains it. For future reference they only require a filed TM30. If you stay a night in a hotel and get a print of their filing then you’re good to go. Regardless that you actually arrived in Thailand 29 days ago and didn’t actually have one from any previous stays.

@Robert ********

Wow. What office was this? Any fine in theory should be paid for by your house owner/ landlord/ hotel, etc who didn’t file. Except that they generally aren’t and you have to stump up the fine if you want service.
