I am new to this and only been here 5weeks I got my bank account opened that my wife has an account at but a week after opening it they rang to say new requirements for visa application, freezing.The 400 thousand for 6 months? Not that I was going to touch it but if that's the new protocol just be prepared for next time.If you need the money i am leaving it in, so I will always be the right amount

For the next visa application

same here, I started with a quote of 54 pound a month.

By time I told them, I have plates and screws in the shoulder damage knee, and had a heart attack last year. It went up to over 250 pound a month.

And my pre conditions are not included which makes no sense if I had a heart attack.I am not covered but am paying a premium because they know i'm liable to have one so I too, do the pay as you go option

I am a bit of a novice myself at this but October I came out to live in Thailand after getting my non. O, visa due to being married to a Thai lady.

When the first week I went to her bank and successfully after showing passport my 90 day visa and my wife sort of documentation of marriage so-and-so on. I opened a bank account. They knew it was to get a one year visa, but the bank has to mature for 2 months before I can apply and some say it's right. Some say it's wrong, but they have actually frozen the four hundred thousand thai backs or the ten k that I transferred with yes to that bank.for 6 months but my situation was to always have the money I pull it in to forget about it, because some people open up two bank accounts at the moment.It is perfect because they freeze the four hundred thousand but you can put more money in and pay with the q.R like most thai people do hope that I was giving you some idea.The bank obviously says it was requirement for me to get the paperwork.I'm assuming that's the statements and the certificate to get the visa

i personally would have done, but my wife holds two bank accounts and her business accounts.So I thought she's friendly with the manager as one of her customers having how hard it is to get a bank account.It could be easier to open which I had no problem it until yesterday but as I said, I had planned to leave it in so on the ways have the money for the visa.Each year

yes, Colin didn't speak great English. But what she did say was basic understanding of my extension to hold it, as I said, it's not a frozen account, it's just a frozen four hundred k. My plan was always to leave it in, as I told my wife when I die, she can use it to build me a nice big shrine on the farm lol

i am not sure why they would suspect fraud. It was all done above board My wife gave evidence of being a guaranteed and on the government. Website, it shows as a new enforced tightening regulation maybe them that have got something to hide, would be the ones concerned. And condemning it

i came here on a 90 day visa. Standard O visa due to having the thai wife she took me to her branch i was a bit puzzled because they had her signing more forms than me saying she was being guaranteed so I've been in Thailand for 17 days and got the bank account. I had that a week when my wife got a call they said they did try to ring my number? But no missed call? so called her they know what the money was for.

What the purpose of having it for the intention in january two months matured to apply for the year visa. The 400k it's showing it as a ledger, but I only have the extra available?
