Im on a retirement visa here and had the 800,000 baht in my Thai bank. Recently read that 400,000 baht must be the lowest amount maintained in the bank account.

Is this correct as I am unable to see any detail of this for this visa?

What is the impact if the amount is below 400,000 baht?

Thanks.

So it seems some TTB branches in Bangkok can open accounts for DTV holders, particularly DTV holders who work remotely! I can't confirm for the other category of DTV. They showed me a list of 4 items required, of which I was missing just one, which I've attached here. The other items are

1. Passport + DTV stamp inside

2. other ID from your country (license or ID card)

3. DTV proof like letter from employer/ employment contract/

4. The attached image - that's what I didn't have. What is that? It's related to residence though. They didn't care about my TM30.

When applying for a marriage visa do my pensions have to be deposited directly into a Thai bank account or can I just transfer the money from my British bank account into my Thai bank account? Many thanks.

Isn't it more beneficial to just take Euros with you and to exchange? Pay now each atm withdrawal is 220 baht plus cost from my bank in the Netherlands? Mvg deep down

Is het niet voordeliger om gewoon euro, s mee te nemen en om te wisselen? Betaal nu ben elke atm opname 220 baht plus kosten van mijn bank in Nederland? Mvg jeroen

If you go to a thai bank with euros,then change to baht in the bank and credit it to your account would that be recognised as money coming from overseas?

Hello Swiss expatriates!

I am thinking of transferring part of my THB from my Bangkok Bank account to my cantonal bank (Neuchâtel) in Switzerland in CHF. Are the exchange rate and fees on both sides correct? THANKS !

Do Tax Free Savings Account (Canada) work to show as proof of funds? In my bank statements it is under "investments", but in fact I can withdraw money from it.
