Is it necessary to have a Thai bank account for a retirement visa in Thailand, or can I keep my funds offshore?

@Sam ****

It’s common knowledge. Showing funds in your bank in your home country is only for your initial visa. To extend the next year you’ll have to move that money to a Thai bank, unless you do it like John laid out.

@John *********

That’s true, but for me, too much of a hassle. And I have no problem keeping 800,000 in my thai bank account indefinitely, so it’s easier for me to just go down to immigration and extend, than do a border bounce. But I know we’re not all in that situation.

For the OA he’ll still have to show 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account for the following extension, so within a year he’ll have to transfer the money anyway. I’m doing my first OA extension today.

But if you get divorced, you’ll have to figure out a different visa.

@Ian **********

My wife’s U.S. Passport has my surname and her Thai passport has her Thai maiden name. She just books her ticket in her married name and takes a copy of her U.S. marriage license with her if there is any question on the different last names.

What are the current limits and new rules for transferring money from abroad to Thai banks?

Gerg **********

If I was sending 2 million, I’d do a wire transfer with a SWIFT code.

How long do I need to maintain the 800k deposit after my retirement visa approval if I'm switching to the 65k monthly method?

Gerg **********

The way I understand it is you have to maintain it the same way you would if you were using the 800,000 method again. Once you get your extension using the 65,000/month method, you’re free to use the 800,000. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
