From what I have read and heard, this is becoming more common. People need to follow the Thai laws if they wish to be a guest in this beautiful country.

My experience. 800k in bank for first o visa. Immigration confirmed I could start to spend the cash, providing I paid 12 x 65k for the yearly extension. I spent some of the cash but account was still above 400k after 3 months. Renewed visa the following year with no problem.

Interesting, but from recent experience …. Prior to leaving in February, i did my 90 day report and on the piece of paper inside it said when I had to do my next 90 day check in which was May. When I returned to Thailand in March, nothing changed. So I went to immigration in May and everything was done as normal. So did they allow me to do my 90 report a month early? 🤔

I was in HCM city and also Vung Tau and never seen anything 😂

I was in Vietnam at Songkran and there was no water drenching

Better to get it sent to Wise or Revolut, then he can decide when he changes to THB at a better exchange.

ok. But I know Hua Hin accepts as I used my prints last month. It has Bangkok Bank headers on every page of the statement.

@Tod ********

easier and cheaper to print yourself.

In Hua Hin I printed my own statement for the year. 21 pages and updated my bank book the day before visiting immigration.

One week before you go speak to your bank. Request the following the day before you go to immigration …

1. Credit advice for the 800k

2. Letter from bank.

Afterwards, show an international payment of 65k going into your bank every month and start spending the 800k.

yes that sounds correct 👍🏻
