How do agents manipulate the retirement visa process with the 800k bank requirement in Thailand?

Gerg **********

I’d be afraid there would be a crackdown and my agent would get caught up in the scandal and me along with it, possibly getting me deported and blacklisted.

What is the easiest way to transfer funds from an Australian bank account to a K bank account in Thailand?

Gerg **********

If your bank does wire transfers using SWIFT codes, that’s a safe and easy way to transfer large sums. Ask your bank about it. If small sums, Wise, Remitly, etc works fine.

What are the rules for using a bank account for retirement visa extensions in Thailand?

Gerg **********

I don’t know, but I don’t see why it would have to be. As long as you can show 12 deposits from abroad you should be good, no matter what bank it comes into. I could be wrong.

What could be causing the pressure switch on my water pump to turn on and off in the Jontien area?

Gerg **********

Probably not the switch, probably a leak in the bladder of the holding tank or leak in the down pipe to the well, depending on what kind of system you have.

What is the safest way to transfer a large sum of money to a friend in Thailand for a house purchase?

Gerg **********

I’d try the wire transfer to your friend’s Thai bank with a SWIFT code. I’ve only sent money to myself that way, but it works well, is fast, and secure. Ask your EU bank about it.
