Something doesn't seem right to me, I have no affiliation with anyone here but why would you ask 2 agents to make a submission unless there was going to be an issue. Speak up your wasting peoples time.

So all money transfer companies are in the same boat then.

The banks not listed to accept yet are just behind the 8 ball and a little slow changing to the new system.

is it, and for what currency would that be.

@Oo ****

are you sure, perhaps if you are married and we are not yet so we are using the 65k per month. A marriage visa is the way to go 400k max for 5 months. Then put any extra in her account as a gift

Legally there is an argument that the Thai government ie: immigration now require you to bring in 65k per month or 400k or 800k baht locked account that you will pay tax on in the first year and if on the 65k per month, theoretically you will pay tax on that every year fiscal year. Could be interesting in an international court, but "WHO" with a bottomless bucket of money and gold would fund it 🧐🤔😆😆😆 think not but someone should.

I requested mine through my BkB branch in Udonthani, 7days and they never call to tell you it has arrived so I just plan to pick it up in 7 days with a passbook update and letter confirming balance. Then off to immigration

When I request my statement from the bank it generally takes 7 days to get to my branch, so the account details will be approximately 7 days old, that's why they want it updated on the day.

Always had to update the savings bank book and statement on the day you apply for your extension, well here in Udon at least, and that is also aligned to immigration rules for visa extension. Don't know about fixed amounts.

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.
