Sorry to hear of your plight. You will also find poor information from "experts" on this site as well. I find a lot of good information on this site but still go to the Thai Embassy site to check.

The problem with SWIFT is they charge a percentage. The more you transfer the higher the cost.

Are we discussing extensions to an existing visa or a new visa which is what I read. It's important to be clear for the benefit of first timers wanting to retire to Thailand.

If you check the Thai government website for visa's. Unless they've changed again it's 3 months before your vias application and 3 months after.

Where did that information come from!
Keith *******
It's THB800,000 OR THB65,000 per month. However, you have to show that the money goes in every month for 12 months to qualify. If you elect to put the THB800,000 into your account, it must stay there for 3 months prior to the application and 3 months after the application.

Spelling is very important in Thailand. It's the same with converting money. The notes must be clean and free from any marks or stains.

@Graham *****
as long as you have THB800,000 in the bank you don't need to transfer THB65,000 per month. One can use either of the two options.
