Anonymous participant 246 why are you anonymous 🤔 I don't normally reply to anonymous

Anonymous participant 246 I've been to immigration and they want to see the funds available. We know things are tightening so they could start to ask at point of entry.

@Luit ****************

so you apply showing 500k you arrive and stay 180 days, decide to extend, requirements are to prove you have 500k. Now that continues for 5 years. So how can you not need 500k available for the duration of the visa!

Spend it all in the first 180 days and then what's your game plan?

You seem to be taking issue at what I'm saying. Think it through its basic logic, don't fill people with false hopes, they need to totally be aware, you can't live on nothing and you need to prove it, the process is for a reason, not for people to bend it to fit. But, you could stay in Thailand for the 5 years couldn't you. Have you not been keeping upto speed, leave for a day, extend, time it right and get 5.5 years.

It's the main document I've found.

Thats it good to go

Print a few copies for backup.

It's like the class clown laughing at no relative point! I never understood and still don't.

Anonymous participant and don't be shy, don't be anonymous your around friends

You don't need to spend more on agency services, save your funds, but remember the 500k is your support fund, your supposed to be able to support yourself for 5 years, thus, why they ask for proof again at each extension, yes you can leave and return, that will cost even more. Think it through, 5 years of money, how much do you need! Everyone is different.
