@Stuart ********

i dont currently. A newbie at this. Once I open a local bank account I can easily transfer. But rules seem to say need it there for 3 mths before applying.

But more than one agent offering to fix it all even without funds. Not quite sure how and whether its legit.

Ok. Am in Pattaya. Spent morning going to numerous banks to open an account to deposit 800k for retirement visa. . They all wanted a 1 year visa.

All i have is UK passport + 30 day exemption stamp. No lease. No local girl.

Any one can recommend any specfic branch in pattaya where they have *recently* opened one? Thanks

One bank branch was prepared butbwoukd cost 5900 for an account with accident insurance + 600 for atm card.
