Gary. Yes. Write the number of the re-entry stamp on the TM6 card. If you don't do it, the immigration officer will do it for you or tell you to do it.

Robert. Can you just repeat that every two years?

Robert, There's a requirement to keep money in the bank in Thailand.

I thought, from reading posts here, that they checked that 400k was kept in for the whole year.

How does that work?

Thanks Al

They are both based on being over 50, yes?

Good questions, Lesley.

How do Thai immigration check your funds in a Thai bank account to make sure you have the minimum funds throughout the year?

Why do they not check funds in a foreign account but they do check funds kept in a Thai account?

Same visa. Strange difference.

Anybody know the answer?

Thanks Stuart. I was under the impression that they wanted to see your pension documentation or proof that you have 65k+ of income in your home country as well as 65k moving into your Thai account.

So if you have savings in your home country you can just transfer from that into your Thai account.

Yes, you're spot on about fluctuations in the strength of currencies. It's for this reason that I was wondering if Gordon could use house rental income plus savings (if the currency is not in your favour) to provide 65k for the Thai authorities.

Gordon wants to rent his house to acquire the monthly income. Is proof needed of the monthly rental of his house, ie a rental contract or do the Thai authorities only want to see 65k going into a Thai bank account?

If he had 40k from his house rental and 25k from his savings, would the Thai authorities reject this or do they only look at the Thai bank account for 65k?

Thanks. Is there a difference between an overstay stamp for two days and an overstay stamp for two months?

Would a two day overstay cause a ban on entering Thailand?

Tod Daniels If he goes a day or two late, they will give him his 30 day extension. What would happen if he left the country a day or two late?

Would they just give a fine and no overstay stamp? My friend is in the same position as Salvatore but unable to get to CW.

Jasmine Kunhawong.

Yes, I know.

I said you don't have to leave.

I didn't say you can't leave.
