"general monthly expenses" and "personal expenses" likely would be the same, which wouldn't be an issue for general day to day expenses. Whether "personal expenses" shows up in your Thai bank account as an 'International transfer', well maybe you can let the group know. The point of the original post, is that the option "Funds for long term stay", which shows that the transfer came from overseas once in the Thai Bank account, where the other options didn't, is necessary when applying for Visa Extensions for those living long term in Thailand.
that's no longer an option. Anyway, 'general monthly expenses' probably, or might not have shown up as an "International transfer", which is necessary for those living in Thailand on long term Visa Extensions.
are you 100% sure that you can LEGALLY do that, or are you just assuming that because you've heard reports that some do it? I think you'll find it's not legal.
ok, I wondered about the second one because of it being the day it would be required, but DTV holders would have to leave Thailand on that 180th day at the latest and Immigration would be stamping them out
