Can I apply for a DTV visa in Thailand with only half of the required 500,000 baht?

Bill *********

Andy Wonder Right. If you don't have as little as 500k for relocation and following the requirements, then I think it's logical to say keep your day job.

Why is the process for foreigners to move to Thailand so cumbersome?

Bill *********

@David ****

Absolutely right! In fact there's some tweaking that I'd implement to crank it up a notch on the requirements to curb abuse.

Are they back? I know they tried to curtail that problem a couple times.

Do I need a Thai bank account for the Retirement Visa in Thailand if I have a Citibank account?

@John ********

Absolutely use an agent. Saves a lot of stress and time. I can make money but I cannot make time so anything to help make things easier is definitely worth it to me. I got the whole Visa thing worked out in under a day.

Can I use my bank statement for the 650,000 THB per month visa requirement if I send large amounts yearly?

@Bridget ***********

You are correct. With the lump sum option you do not have to transfer any specific amount on any particular schedule, just whenever you feel you need to bring the balance up. This assumes you use said account for expenses such as rent, which I do. So it does need to be replenished occasionally. Hope this makes sense.

Bill *********

The monthly income route seems way too complicated and the rules very strict, thus I'm glad they offer the 800k lump sum option. But to avoid dipping below that amount around visa renewal time, I use 900k with no worries of meeting day-to-day expenses. Just my method for ease and peace of mind.
