agree, if she's wanting to be a tourist, Anghur Wat would be a great side trip.

@Charlie *******

unless he wants to travel to another country....

@Steve ******

sorry, I missed your "minimum". But that still leaves 30 days to get it together on a90 non-o visa.

@Steve ******

can you show me in the list of requirements where the two months of seasoning is not really 2 months?

@Steve ******

30 from arrival in order for the 800K to be seasoned 2 months before extension.

So much easier to apply/get the non-o visa while you're still in your home country. Come to Thailand, sign a conditional lease (on your getting your extension} and take that to immigration to get a letter of residency. Take all that to the bank and you should have little problem. IMHO 40k bath is really overkill for the work involved. You have a month to get it together after you arrive.

@Shane *******

maybe! Hard to tell sometimes....

My credit Union now charges $65 for a wire transfer. Not to bad for 800k, but the monthly 65k would come in at 3.6%. Not sure what multiple wise xfer per month would come out to. For Remitly, I did. $110 xfer and they charged me over $6.

@Shane *******

doesn't help if he's on a retirement visa and trying to show his 65k/month.

Make sure you understand what it takes to get a work permit even if your visa says you can work.
