Can I switch from a monthly income option to an 800,000 Baht deposit for my retirement visa in Thailand?

@Michael ******
 I totally agree... but a minority doing it correctly will not change things. and as Lee Johnson stated he is not happy transferring his money..

I'm just informing there is a loophole, if he wishes to go down that path it is there...

 there is a loophole on every corner in Thailand you just got to know how to jump thu them..

if you not want put 800.000bt in an account for what ever reason then you use agent... if your happy to do so then no problem..you will get your visa & your extension...there is just a price to pay as with everything in this corrupt country....
