Found it. Clear as day in point 4, 65K per month OR 800K, when applying for OA Retirement from within UK

44. something last time, Stuart. I'm sure any difference would add up over my remaining lifetime, but I'm enjoying my retirement too much to worry about a few baht here and there.

sorry John it wasn't this group I posted it to

@John *********

I understand that. It was clear in an email they sent me while I was applying from within the UK, as this poster is. I have posted that email here previously, but as I sit having a quiet coffee in my new home Bangsaray, my picture filing is crap and I can't find it again 🤣🤣🤣

I opened a current account with HSBC. You can also open a Global Account. The global account allows you to use the card and/or send money abroad with NO fees whatsoever from HSBC. It arrives in Thailand in Baht. Sadly, Bangkok Bank still deducts a fee before the money goes in, even though they do nothing but watch it all happen electronically. I will be taking this up with them.

That's not so according the the London Embassy, John. They say the financial requirements are 800K OR 65k/month

@Deanna ******

The app limits are adjustable within the app. the default is 50,000 but they can go up to at least 1 million and I don't know how much more

@Deanna ******

Now I'm confused because the 'Pay In Cheque' option is no longer on my app 🤪

bizarre rule. With Bangkok Bank you can deposit cheques via their app

Thai banks are regulated by the government. You would have statements, so you can see when your money went out and where it went.
