I shall be relocating to Thailand sometime early next year. I will be entering on an O visa and will then need an extension before the 3 months are up. I still have bank accounts with SCB and Krung Thai from 10 years ago when I was on a work visa.
If I understand correctly, I have to be able to demonstrate that funds for an extension based on retirement (800,000) or marriage (400,000) have come into my Thai bank from overseas. Is this correct?
Is there any way to guarantee that these transfers will show on my bank book or statements as international transfers? I looked at my Siam Commercial bank book and statements and the transfers I have previously made from HSBC in the UK don't indicate that the money has come in from overseas.
Is this just a Siam Commercial Bank issue or am I likely to have the same problems with other Thai banks and is there any foolproof way around it?
