Maybe a stupid remark, but if you have a new passport, the stamps will still be damaged. Okay, when also showing a brandnew passport, the chances at imm. will be better I think. Also a question pops up; Is it possible to have stamps in a Thai Embassy or some kind of letter ??

@Bob ******

Maybe a bit late but today I transfered some money to my kasikorn bank, and the option "funds for long stay etc..." was there. In 4 days I transfer to my Bangkok bank and will look if it is registered 'international' as before. I did not see some post that it's back 🤷‍♂️ Just to let you know.

Do you need to have 800,000 baht in a Thai bank for a retirement visa application in Thailand?

Peter ****************

@Kevin *****

By the way, IF you have Thai baht already, the max is 500,000฿. But that's only posible when you bought so much Baht in another country ofcourse, which doesn't seem smart to me.

@Kevin *****

Indeed, but that also has a max. I'm Dutch and then it is 10.000€. For USD I thought it's 20.000 dollar. Many times these are also the limits (without reporting before, because then there in no limit) from the country you come from. And yes, they almost never check but...........

When can I apply for a 30-day extension after arriving in Thailand on a non-immigrant family visa?

Sorry, but Embassy is wrong and Brandon is right. How weird it may seem to you.

Can I convert my retirement visa funds into a fixed deposit account in Thailand?

Peter ****************

Think checking with BKK imm. Office is the best advice. Maybe also ask Tod Daniels from the group Thai Visa Advice. He is very connected to imm. BKK. I have a fixed deposit account at Kasikorn only to get a real mastercard. When I asked "can I put the money back to my savings account?" they told me, "no problem, but you lose the intrest".

What is the procedure for leasing a house in Thailand and how does it affect immigration registration?

Peter ****************

@Kim ********

When immigration is very far away, you (sometimes) also can register at police and/or tourist police.

What is Thailand's perspective on foreigners (farang) retiring and receiving care in the country?

@Stephen *******

Oh, nice indeed. That should be possible for everyone I think. Especially if you already don't have to buy food.
