Even then... I had my money here in my bank years before I started with retirement visa. So... never had any "transaction from outside" in the bank statement when I applied. Don't kill me for that... I don't know why they never questioned it... :-)
You are right... but... the PRD announced it and then they changed it quickly... that's how it works here. And if it really should start now at 1st of August, then you can call yourself lucky if it's published in the Royal Gazette 2 days before... 😁
