Nope! You've been given BAD information. All you have to do is submit an electronic entry card before crossing back into Thailand

How do agents manipulate the retirement visa process with the 800k bank requirement in Thailand?
Roberto *********
@Uwe ***
 The retirement visa hasn't changed in years. Personally I prefer to pay 1900 baht each year rather than pay an agent up to 25,000 baht, but I use the

@Alan ******
 You don't apply to use that method. When you next extend you just show the 12 x 65k transfers. Make sure there is one for each calendar month, and make sure they are denoted as international transfer in your bank book/bank statement
