Hello friends,

I have a question regarding the proof of funds for the Soft Power visa.

How did you provide proof of your bank balance? I have kept around USD 15,000 in my account for the past two months.

Is it okay to apply now?

I've heard that some people got approved in one month, while others say you need to show a balance for three months.

Does anyone have detailed information on this?

Thanks in advance!

I have a question

About the 800 000

Must be in a thai bank

Or it's possible to have the money in my won European bank

I'm a 77-year-old retired individual I have military retirement and social security I want to apply for retirement type Visa before I go to Thailand if possible should I go to the consulate with the paperwork and get it done there or should I wait and go to Thailand tourist visa and do it in Thailand thank you

Does anyone know if need 800k in bank two or three months before applying for my visa extension?

Happy New Year!

Have to get a new extension next month for Non-O (over 50). First time doing it in Bangkok. Does Chaengwattana require the bank issued transaction record or does the updated bank book and copy showing 12 months of transactions suffice (along with the bank letter)?

Advice for keeping enough in the bank in my case 400,000 baht . On a marrage ext does it have to be my name only and can it be in an interest account ?

I’m trying to figure out the best way to retire and live in Thailand 6 months and US 6 months. If I get a retirement visa, can I avoid the deposit 800,000 baht deposit without depositing my SSA check directly in a Thai bank? Suggestions?

Hi everyone

I’m about to renew my retirement visa.

I have the required 800,000 in a Thai bank account.

I understand that I have to keep a minimum of 400,000 in that account and ensure that there’s 800,000 3 months before my visa renewal next year.

My question is :

How fast after obtaining the visa can I withdraw 400,000?

Thank you.

I have the 800k but I don't think i want to tie it up in a Thai bank account. Is it worth getting an agent to sort things out?
