John Molloy I have been through the process today. I am an Irish citizen and the embassy in Bangkok has done me an affidavit I’ve been in today to the immigration Centre to get all my paperwork filled in with the help of the lovely girls, I inquired about my affidavit and opening a bank account and the 800 K she assured me officially if you’ve got an affidavit certifying your pension above 65,000 bat per month you do not even have to open a bank account in Thailand it completely negate having any money in a Thai bank account, the affidavit overrides everything, I’ve been through the process

Greg Alexander ok good info

After the first years extension then you can take out the 800 k as long as your Thai bank account shows 12 monthly transactions from your pension or foreign sources then you can take out your 800 k after you get stamped for your second extension? Yes or no?

If your embassy provides affidavit for your pension/income then no need for money in Thai bank other then living expenses I am led to believe

I am waiting for my letter from the Irish embassy in Bangkok to take to korat immigration

Shane Kinneally on arrival your 1st day of 90 is activated and the IO will stamp you in and out with corresponding dates in your passport

That’s my experience last week when I came in on a Non O
