........as I don't have my own residential address back in Australia I was unsure what address details to put in the form..........and so I went to my branch this morning and they were happy to put the address on my Australian driver's licence - my daughter's address........and so all done!

Cheers!

I received the same email yesterday. I don't have an issue filling out the forms, but wondering what to put in the space where it asks for addresses/jurisdictions on the FATCA - CRS form for individual certification?

Do I need to maintain an 800,000 baht balance before applying for a subsequent Non-O retirement visa extension?

@Tod ********

Good point Tod - I wondered how they would discern the difference - maybe a new motorbike (scooter) will do the trick. Anyway, that is down the track a bit.

Cheers!

it's okay - I realise that the minimum of 65,000 baht can be spent (living expenses etc) once transferred.

The 800,000 baht is the initial eligibility amount which needs to stay in the bank account for the first extension application, and then can be accessed after 3 months, and brought back up to the same amount if the subsequent application is again using the 800,000 baht method.

Hope this clarifies your query!

Regards!

@David ***********

obviously a misunderstanding - I was referring to a potential ""drop" to below 800,000 and NOT the 400,000 threshold. I plan to leave the 800,000 in the Thai bank account and not touch it unless of an emergency.

If the situation was to bring it back up to the 800,000 just prior to the monthly income extension application I would transfer monies from my Australian bank account. Sorry for any confusion!

Thanks Tod - as I thought, but I was not 100% certain. It would only drop during an unexpected or emergency situation.
