I got my extension of stay on Monday, Oct 7 at CW. I got my bank letter the Saturday before going. I updated my passbook, after withdrawing 1000 baht, at CW before the doors opened.

I guess the question for you is whether they will accept the 800,000k as being in two bank accounts. Good luck.

I spoke to my Pacific Cross agent today. He assured me that my current Maxima Plus plan qualifies with Thai Immigration. That would mean you can purchase a more sensible plan not directly off the website.

Citibank Thailand?

If you are planning to be here more than a couple of months during the year then you should look into getting a proper visa.

What secondary demands? Either you meet the well known requirements or not. I got my year extension 10 days ago. They examined my bank passbook and checked whether I met the requirements. It’s your responsibility that your balance is not so close to the line that a small error is going to bring you below the line. Keep a buffer amount in your account. Of course you can always discuss your problems with your Immigration office and maybe they will use their discretion to help you out. Good luck. 🍀

Travel insurance? How long are you planning to travel here for?

Daniel Wolfe I believe you can buy better policies than what you see on the link. The policies on the link just meet the minimum requirements. You can exceed the minimum. Talk to the company of course.

Information on the minimum policies are here

Pacific cross has policies up to 75 years of age but any policy for you will be expensive.

Alex J Murphy Can't say I would recommend offering a "donation" but I don't have experience with that.
