@Stevie *******

yes, i do think so. But let's go with your explanation. Which agent are you using and i can reach out to them and get a quote. 7k is a great deal with them looking after everything. That would be awesome. Thanks

@Lion ****************************

you don't understand?? How is that possible? Does leaving 800k baht in a thai bank account at zero or ultra low interest make any financial sense at all? The answer is no. Leave the 800k invested elsewhere. At merely 5% it generate 40k baht annually, which pays the 15 k renewal fee and puts another 25k in your pocket while you let the agent do the work for you. Just as it has been done for many years

@Christian *******

you are deeply confused

@Michael *****

They don't do that at all. They obtain a 90 day Non-O and then a one year extension for purpose of retirement

@Charles *********

you aren't actually keeping 800k doing nothing in a thai bank account are you?

@Stevie *******

then they aren’t placing the 800k. Which is why people use agents

@Jeff *********

the cost for the 3 month O Visa and 12 month retirement extension would be about 35,000 baht. Or $1050 USD. Good deal really

@Gamalier *******

yes

@THAI *****************************

runs this page. They can assist

@Gene ********

it NEVER costs 15,000 baht for a 3 month O visa and 12 month extension. A one year renewal via agent costs 13-18k baht.

@Martin ********

that was a lot of typing for someone without a clue what they are talking about.
