Hi Robert, I already have an active (not dormant) bank account in Thailand. I am not applying for the retirement visa in 2023 but later. Is it possible for me to transfer money from overseas bit by bit over 2 years to make up that THB800K?
May I ask you, is it possible to gather that THB800k by Instalments? (For example remitting THB40k per month over 20 months from overseas)? Must it be one lump sum of THB800k?
Hello Rick, some hotels in Bangkok charge both daily and monthly rates. That means the border line between a hotel and a serviced apartment is not very clear-cut in this case.
All the banks didn't allow me to do that with the exception of ICBC Thai in Bangkok. ICBC Thai allowed me to open a bank account with online banking which I can use while being in overseas. I didn't fill in the TM30 form. Sounds like this could be the reason.
