Would all banks ask now that certificate of residence? As a long-term visa in your passport not tells it all, always go for everything to madhouse in Jomtien. Or issue a card, everyone can read, that you are resident, or accept drivers license

How can I ensure my money transfers to Krungsri meet Immigration requirements for the 65k per month visa option?

Well, hope this not changed in Jomtien either. But again this is abusing, and make it difficult for everybody. But this is Thailand.

That is annoying. In Chonburi - Pattaya, no need of certificate. Is also ridiculous, as long you ve the transfers every month. I did provide them with a contract, but they never ask for it.

Chonburi - Pattaya, but this should be the same requirement everywhere. International transfer is a must

Should be on your statement. Normal international funds transfer is enough, but should be there. And verify this every month. I did same as you want to do.

Can I use a foreign bank account for the Thai retirement visa income requirement and apply for it while in Thailand?

Martin **********

I had the 800.000 method first, then changed to monthly income. Jomtien immigration was fine with years statement, where monthly transfer was visible. No affidavit needed, I gave proof, where it came from. But not one transfer in that year can be skipped, or done after the month, it is supposed to be in your account. Not used agency.

What is the TDAC and what do you need to know about it before arriving in Thailand?

Martin **********

It only not make sense as expat, living here, paying taxes, getting the re entry permit, to need this.

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?

Martin **********

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.
