What is the best practice for managing my Thai savings account while on a 90-day retirement non-O visa?

Tony **********

Yes, start transferring now monthly. It's 12 months prior to application of your extension.

How can I legally transfer 800k baht to a Thai bank account for my Non-O visa?

Tony **********

You can prove your income from your bank statements for getting your non-o visa from your home country. However, you have to have the 800k in a Thai bank account 2 months prior to your 1yr extension. The only way around this is to pay an agent to bribe an immigration officer. Works until it doesn't.

What type of insurance should a 70-year-old consider when visiting Thailand for three months?

@Sylvia *******

I guess in all fairness (since the OP is from the UK) that Any healthcare that's not free probably seems expensive.

@Sylvia *******

health care here is not expensive at all. Private hospitals like Bangkok Hospital are 25% the cost in USA and IMHO, the care is better.

What is the best destination for a visa run from Thailand: Da Nang, Singapore, or Manila/Cebu?

Tony **********

if you apply abroad, you only need the money in Thai bank 2 months before extension application. Dollar has gone up some in the past few days. Note that on 800k, the 2฿ exchange rate difference amounts to $50.

What are the requirements for obtaining a bank letter for retirement or marriage visa applications in Prachuap Khiri Khan?

Tony **********

I don't think money has to be seasoned for application. It does for the 1yr extension. And I don't believe that money needs to show as international transfer, just that it's there. I can't answer about the bank branch because so many times here, when I try to use logic, I'm wrong! 😁
