First dumb comment of the day!

@Greg **********

I don't know what will happen in the future. I always take my annual pension statement to immigration at each annual extension, but it's never been requested. With the shonky bank business going on in Thailand at this time, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if source of funds is required in the future. That'd be great, as I'd be watching those with agency accounts squirming as they try to explain the sudden appearance of 800k in their accounts!

@David *********

No requirement to be retired. It's not in the visa criteria

@Daniel *****

I'm retiree so rest of my life tax exempt! Nice!

@Mark ********

And then have your account frozen like thousands of other "agency accounts"

@Pete ******

Exactly. So the agent was wrong (as usual)

@Robert ****

Thad's correct. It's getting more difficult to convert in-country from visa exempt to non-O. I fully expect this avenue will be stopped in the next year or so

@Garrett **********

The monthly 65k transfer doesn't apply to US citizens. Absolute nonsense

@Robert ****

Yes you can. You can obtain a non-O 90-day visa from an immigration office, which then cancels your 60-day visa exempt entry. There is no requirement to leave the country

@Graham *****

It sounds like he's bought the in-country 90-day visa from an immigration office, so he's not yet on the extension
