I would contact Thailand immigration or embassy to see what they require. If your wife has a DTV then if I am not wrong it covers you for work also. But as I said best check.

@Brian ********

may be able to offer some advice.

@Phil ******

that is 5% interest rate, so doable in a term deposit. But it's still tied up, you can have the 800k in the new BKB term deposit which earns about 6% and you get your 40k in the pocket or leave it in there. Then you can do it yourself. I flew to Thailand 3 months before I was going to move here, started a BKB account and deposited the 800k in a term deposit and 200k in a debit card account also, went back to OZ got all the i's dotted and came back and applied for my O retirement got it and haven't looked back. Built our home and moved in, and I now have it in the new term deposit which is a better interest rate and not variable until the next anniversary.

@Andy ********

I saw your post yesterday and am waiting until 2pm to see it it shows as FTT.

you only need to keep the 800k in the account if you intend to use that process. If you intend to do the 65k/month then you can remove it immediately. At least that is what I was told and did after it was issued and nothing was said. Mind you I moved about 3 million through my account that year with building, a car and bike etc.

but it is totally incorrect.🧐🧐😆😆😆

non of them match his age, after 65 it gets more expensive, then 70 then 75. After that many won't cover you.

@Philip *******

never been asked by Quanta’s or Jetstar and been flying in and out regularly over the last 30 years.

@John ***********

wow, it can be that cheap, but I expect you need to cancel or you will pay the full price.

@Brandon ***********

you can change from single entry to multi entry just go to immi and pay 4000bht and done.
