How much does she charge, asking for a friend

I have a Krungsri Mai Thai Dee account, it pays 0.9% and that's taxed at 0.15%. I know it states 1.5% if you open the Mai Tahi Dee online , but a foreigner cant open one on line , i have tried. The SCB however do have an EZ account that I use and that does pay 1.5% , much better than the Mai Thai Dee account as that's subject to 3 withdrawals per month , after that a penalty applies , where the SCB EZ account is instant unlimited withdrawals without any penalty's, Only one thing to consider, is the EZ account is 1.5% up to 1 Million and the Krungsri MTD is 0.9% up to 2 Million

Yes , correct i have used the income method for the past 3 years including the recent one done on 16 January and for all of those 3 extensions , I had never revealed that I had well over 800,000 in another Thai bank account with a different bank. So I just cant understand why if I did want to go back to the 800,000 deposit method, why I can just make sure I have at least 800,000 in a Thai bank at the very least 2 or even 3 months before I applied for the extension next year.

Yes , thats exactly how I see it , the 800,000 would only have to be in.the account 2 moths prior to the new extension in 2027. The thing is , there was absolutely no way the young Immagration officer was confused. He was highly intelligent and spoke fluent English and he clearly understood everything that was being discussed. I only went in there to just check and clarify the situation on Friday 30th January, but he was addiment about it. He clearly knew that my last 3 extensions were obtained using the 65,000 income way. I just dont understand, why he looked through all my banking apps and pointed out that I had gone below the 800,000 after my extension on 16 January and therefore couldn't use that way for next year. I think i will continue with sending in 65,000 per month and obtain the 2027 extension that way , but I still think he is incorrect and the 800,000 need only be in the account 2 months before.

Sorry , just reread my original post and its a bit misleading. I have actually 4 bank accounts, SCB , Krungsri, Kasikorn and Bangkok bank. I use my Bangkok Bank for tge monthly international transfers , I have two accounts with Krungsri, one for day to day spending and one were I have always held a minimum of 800,000 , this account was never shown to immigration when I did my extension on 16 January, I only showed them my Bangkok Bank account, so they would have no idea I had over a 800,000 in a Krungsri account. I keep just over 1 million in an SCB EZ account for emergencies as it pays 1.5% interest. The whole idea of doing my last 3 extensions using income method was to be in a position to transfer all these funds i have sitting in these Thai bank accounts and invest them into Wise Stocks , I have just been waiting for the THB to get stronger and planned to transfer the funds out once I got my new extension.

The funds were in separate accounts , I used the Bangkok bank for the incoming funds of 65,000 , i have never shown them my balance of over 800,000 in my Krungsri account until yesterday, I obtained the extension using my Bangkok Bank income on 2 weeks before on 16 January.

No , totally incorrect, I obtained the extension on 16 January using the pension method with the international transfers coming into my Bangkok bank , I did not show them or mention i had 800,000 in my other Krungsri account. It was only yesterday the 30 January I went to pick up a COR and it was then I made the inquiry and showed the officer the Krungsri account with the funds .

For the past 15 extensions based on retirement, i always used the 800,000 in my Thai bank up 3 years ago. Then for the past 3 years, I have used the 65,000 monthly international transfer way , but I have always still kept a minimum of 800,000 in my Thai bank as a safety measure just in case something like one of my monthly transfers that I send via Wise from the UK and in August last year , something did in fact go wrong , my 65,000 international transfer sent to my Bangkok Bank, somehow ended up going to Kasikorn bank first and Kasikon sent it domesticly to my Bangkok Bank.. I did my latest extension on 16 January this year and my new extension is valid until March 1st 2027. Once I got the extension with no issues, they seemed to overlook the August transfer recorded as domestic on my 12 month statement, but I had obtained a credit advice from Kasikorn which showed the funds originated from Wise UK. Anyway as I had now got a new extension, I withdrew about 150,000 from the 800,000 thinking this would not be a problem if I wanted to go back on the 800,000 way next year. I normally do my extension in January about 40 days before its due on March 1st. So I thought if I decided to end the 65,000 way , I could just make sure I had 800,000 in my Thai bank account say as from November this year. Today, I asked at Immigration if that would be OK , but to my amazement, I was told No , it would not be possible as the young guy who checks the paperwork at Phuket immigration said , i had gone below 800,000 , and as my extension was done on 16 January, I would have to provide a 12 month bank statement next year as from 16 January and it should not have gone below 800,000 for the first 3 month. I then tried to explain that I had just done my new extension using the pension way so why would I need to have kept the minimum 800,000 in my bank as I had not done my new extension based on the bank deposit method. He was very polite and helpful but he said I shouldn't have gone below 800,000 and advised me to now carry on making monthly international transfers if 65,000 and then in 2027 on the day I do my extension, make sure I had a minimum of 800,000. Then I could go back on the 800,000 way in 2028 , it seems very incorrect to me .

Throw the book at the drunken idiot

We already have Disney Land for men in Soi 6

I have used in several times, once to transfer out 13 Million Thb to my UK bank in 2018 , it was very easy and no questions asked. Last week , I wanted to transfer out 1 million Thb , tried DMONEY which I use sometimes, they had a limit of 500,000 Thb. So I just simply opened my SCB app , pressed International Transfer, filled in a few details and sent . No questions were asked, I didn't even have to do facial ID , only a OTP. To my amazement , the funds hit my UK bank in a few minutes .

Well , I definitely went upstairs to the same area they use to do the extensions for Non O based on retirement, in that area there was a small room on rear left hand side , last time I used that room for a COR was in 2004 , 2005 and 2007 , then after that i had to the big room on the ground floor directly underneath. I myself have never once paid for a COR , the guy in charge in the big room who sits at the back use to do the 90 day reports upstairs and I got to know him very well , so I always ask for him and he then informs the girls in front not to charge me.

Great news , when I first came to live here in 2001 , the certificate of residence was always free with no questions asked , back then you went upstairs to a rear room off to left , were two very pleasant Muslim girls would issue the COR on the spot , back then though the immigration office was always more or less empty with no queuing.

He is quite a nice guy , I met him a few times in Soi 6 spending his charity funds

Does the laughing emoji indicate your a complete F×××ing idiot who's knows absolutely nothing about Wise Stocks and Wise interest which is classed as Bonds to save CGT , i expect your probably a potless Pattaya piss head !
