Interesting indeed. Even more so because a “retirement visa” doesn’t exist.

You use some arbitrary wording for two completely different things, and then you can’t figure it out.

I’d say “Duh!”

@Max ************

The problem is in the wording and people insisting on using “retirement visa” when Thailand doesn’t have anything called “retirement visa”.

The correct wording is “non-immigrant O visa based on retirement “ and the other thing is a “one year extension of stay based on retirement”. The latter is not even a visa…

Can I transfer 400k Baht to Thailand in two transactions for my NON-O extension based on marriage?

Peter **********

It can be whatever as long as it’s 1) 400k baht or more, 2) in an account in your name, 3) immediately available.

(As per Immigration Office Sakon Nakhon. Ymmv)

That’s correct and when you convert to retirement one year after the marriage visa you still don’t need to prove international origin of the funds.

What documents are needed to open a bank account in Thailand as a foreigner?

Peter **********

@Patrick *******

SCB has those procedures and the “one week” waiting time easily becomes two weeks. Their procedures are tedious, but once you get through it an ok bank.

I opened my account exactly one year ago. Same experience, more documentation because my non-O did not state the reason for the non-O (I am married to a Thai lady).
