Can I use monthly transfers from my US$ account in Thailand to meet the foreign income requirement for my visa?

Marty *********

You should talk to your bank about how to identify the money as coming from a foreign source. I talked to Kasikorn and they said they could provide a document. And of course talk to your immigration office.

Can I use monthly transfers from my US$ account in Thailand to meet the foreign income requirement for my visa?

Marty *********

Why 2 accounts? I have one account. I keep a minimum balance of 800,000 baht. I transfer my monthly expenses into the same account.

Can I apply for a Type O-A visa by mail from Thailand to a Thai embassy in the US?

Marty *********

My US address is my sister’s house. She has forwarded documents sent to me at that address. If you have a similar arrangement in the US then you could try mailing “from within the US” that way. It will cost a bit more and everything will take longer in the mail.

What are the important steps to take when arriving in Thailand with an OA retirement visa?

Marty *********

Open your passport to the visa page and tell them you have an O-A visa. I think there is a place on the arrival card to put the visa number as well. And check before you leave.

What are the best ways to transfer money to Thailand to fulfill visa income requirements?

Marty *********

Wannikea Wanblee That sounds plausible. However, it does mean that you need to be proactive to get records indicating that the money is of foreign origin. Ideally the bank should provide a letter just stating you meet the monthly income requirements. That is what I get for my banked 800,000 baht when I used that for my 1 year extension.

Marty *********

My US wire transfers to Kasikorn are labeled Domestic Transfers when viewing the online statement on the Kasikorn website. So yes, going to bank to see if the transfer is recorded differently is something I would advise people to do.
