my experience with 4 retirement visas and many others. Ramble on baby!

They want to see 800,000 in the bank and will say to show monthly income is a lot of paperwork and they don't like. And remember...copies, copies copies!

I did wire transfer using swift code and cost was $25. usd

Got my 90 day non-o today and in less than 60 days will apply for one year retirement non-o visa. And yes...no insurance required.

Been there done that. Non-o does not need insurance and non-o-a does require insurance.

going through it all now. I have already had 4 retirement visas. Why on earth would I make this up? Been doing this for many years. Thirteen to be exact. I can provide you with picture of first entry you believe I am making this up too

mine was for extension of retirement visa non-o-a which I secured onlime using monthly income. I did not need to show them monthly deposit. At that time immigration said if I deposit 800k in bank I can change to non-o and is more easy and not so much busy paperwork with proof of income and medical insurance would not be required. I, incidentally am going to Nonthaburi office today if I am approved to apply for retirement visa non-o. I know many offices can be a little different and the rules always changing. Copies, copies, copies!!!

Lots more paperwork my immigration office told me plus may need to have proof of medical insurance

it has been my experience to be at least an hour at the office I frequent and some headache medicine would be advised. And yes, remember, copies, copies, copies!
