Do I need a bank certificate when applying for a retirement visa extension using international transfers in Thailand?

Martin **********

Thank you, I kept the 800.000 until I renew this month and change to monthly transfer method. I went to immigration, when applied for re entry permit 2 months ago, and they said, that bankstatement is fine and not need from embassy. In my case impossible, my income is payback from a loan, and it not taxable.

What are the current requirements for first-time 90-day notifications at Thai immigration as of May 2024?

More and more ridiculous. So every time we come back to the country, we have to go the immigration madhouse, and spend half a day.

@Jan *****************

I went to immigration in Jomtien. They accept a proof of monthly transfer, of minimum 65.000 bht. If stated by bank, over the last 12.000 bht. Then no month can be missing though. I asked, because I am tired to hold 800.000 in bank.

Martin **********

I am not surprised by anything. But maybe because also the tax is more aimed at Thais that import non taxed money to Thailand
