YES

This isn’t about a strict 50k a day limit but rather to encourage banks to profile customers on their past history to help prevent fraud. So customers with a history of larger transfers can still have a higher limit.

Bangkok Bank allow me to set my own limits within the App up to 1 million baht. I recently changed my limit to the max for a very large purchase. No poblem whatsoever.

Unless you’ve left the country or moved address you don’t need a new TM30. I’m still using the one I was given last November.

this notice is from Chiang Mai. The Pattaya Beach Rd branch told a customer the same thing this week.

You will need to have 800k baht in a Thai bank account for your first extension but can use the income for subsequent ones as long as you transfer at least 65k baht to a Thai account every single month without fail and it shows as an international transfer. The address shouldn’t be a problem.

If you are applying for the ‘Retirement’ option then you need 800k. You can send as much as you like by bank transfer but your Australian bank might ask for reasons and flag for confirmation.

You need to give more information. If you don’t already have a Non O visa, if you don’t already have a bank account, if you don’t have 800k to put in a bank account then 55k isn’t unheard of now due to the crackdown on bank accounts. Otherwise, it’s far too much.

Have you always been a twat?

Yes. Next time you come brung your home country photo licence and also an IDP. You can then get a Thai licence without a driving test. Initially for 2 years then 5 years each time.

It makes no difference when entering the country. Don’t worry. It only matters if you go to immigration for an extension or 90-day report. Get the landlord to submit a TM30 when you arrive this time and you’re ok.
