good look with the transfer method. I can tell you not all immigration accept it. Nakhon phanom immigration will not accept it.

@Kim ********

good look finding an immigration that will accept it without the embassy affidavit

I used A&S. And it wasn't cheap but I paid for one day service for both non o 90 days stamp and retirement visa which was a total of 15 months. Took 4 hours after from the next day after I flew in. But I already had a bank acct. My interest on my savings acct easily pays for this each year. That extra in my American acct is a win for me at 5 percent interest.

@Kim ********

good look with monthly option. Most embassy no longer do to he affidavit and I can guarantee you on year one ALMOST no immigration will accept that method. Good luck trying. And some want proof of transfer to Thai bank on monthly method. But feel free to prove me wrong.

@John *******

because they paperclip a lot of money to the application. Accepted practice. When I did this route, the immigration had a special deal and officer that a ton of application with money paper clip. It's a win win situation for everyone. No need to tie up funds that your not making interest off. They want to play games so play the game back to your advantage

@Michael *******

I have yet never seen anyone ever show proof of money. I have never flown in with cash on me. I think a bunch of want to be expat read what they see and quote as they had experience. In 5 years I have never heard of one person to show proof.

@Michael *******

never has an airline asked me. I just flew in Dec 29. No issue
