The equivalent of THB 20,000 in any currency in any country should suffice. It did so with my e-visa application.

It looks to me like this stamp was put into your old passport.

OP, I suggest you ask to speak to the chief of your immigration office and seek his advice about your plan to see and experience a lot of Thailand by staying less than a full year in a place at a time.

Does the nationality of the person wishing you open a bank account make a difference? Over the past two years I have seen several posts indicating that US Americans face greater difficulty than other foreigners, because of bureaucratic requirements imposed by the US government that go far beyond the know-your-client rule. Apparently, the Thai government wants these US requirements complied with, eager to get a better ranking in the money laundering index.

Does that letter talk about bank accounts in general or make a distinction between current account and savings account?

It depends on what the Immigration official with whom you are dealing wants when you see him. There is no written rule about it.

I'd appreciate it if you could post a link to these rules. It would be useful when answering future inquiries on this subject.

Moved to Family and Children forum.

Does your "retirement visa" look something like this, of course with different dates?

Are you saying that you are in Thailand at the moment?

The OP mentioned a "90 day note". When another member asked "What note?", the OP posted an abusive reply and thus far has given no explanation. This topic is now closed.

You have done nothing that would result in a fine. Your departure from Thailand without a re-entry permit automatically and formally terminated the permission to stay which you had. The departure stamp in your passport is the formal confirmation of this termination. No other stamp is needed or would have been available to document this.

My advice is, do not tell (threaten) the boss that you are going to seek abvise from the labour department. Just do it.

It is not true that Thai people with dual nationality in general and — in the the context of this topic — in particular female Thai nationals who acquire another nationality by marriage under the laws of the country of which the husband is a national are legally required to claim only one nationality. Aside from that, the excerpt of the post I am quoting is off topic but I am not removing the post because the rest of it is acceptable. Anyone wishing to discuss an alleged legal requirement of the type mentioned above should feel free to start a new topic on this subject, citing the relative legal clause and giving a link to the text of the apposite law.

With all this bickering, this topic is going nowhere.
