@Peter ********

transfers appear to have been rerouted by Wise through Kbank. Caused by Wise not Bangkok Bank.

I posted regarding this subject a week ago. Wise responded we will need to go to Kbank for proof of foreign transfer

Sean **********

my most recent understanding is you can do 90 day reporting seven days before and the day after you are considered late.

Make sure you have a TM 30 filed within 24 hours of your last entry. And go to immigration first time to file the TM 47 after that file correctly you will be able to online..

What are the rules for switching from monthly income to the banked money method for a Non-O retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Sean **********

I understand your point. I do not know what Thai Immigration would require when switching back to the ‘proof of funds’ method. Where you about to find the guidance in Thai Immigration documentation somewhere?

@Robert ********

probably because the rules regarding the 800k method are

1. to maintain the 800k in the bank for 3 months following the effective date of the extension.

2. Maintain a minimum balance of 400k months 4 thru 10

3. Bring the balance back up to 800k for months 11 & 12

Thai ID? Does that mean you are a resident of Thailand. I am in Thailand on a retirement visa, wondering if that is enough
