    Sell Condo to then put 800,000 into bank ?????

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I paid the ultimate penalty of trying to ‘belong’ in Thailand, because I was silly enough to take my cash out of the Kasikorn bank to buy a condo (mortgage free).
    However, when my visa consultant contacted immigration to renew my retirement visa they informed her that whilst I held a B3 Million mortgage free condo, that was not enough proof of financial stability and that I also need have B800,000 cash in the bank !!

    It is difficult not to just give up and pack up to eliminate the almost daily need to confront bonehead autocratic bureaucrats possessing zero common sense ….. or am I just not seeing the logic? Do I just sell my condo and go back to renting ?? 


    Rather stupid thing to buy property here and Hoping the crazy immigration rules would accept that ! They don’t you here !

    yeah, I live next door in south Suphanburi and the heat can be miserable with little or no breeze...
     
    one thing to consider is that during the flood season the excess from the Chao Phraya river gets diverted to the local farmland in the interest of saving BKK downstream from the associated unpleasantness...even with the water diversion a lot of muang Ayudtthaya near the river is inundated, roads are impassable, etc...we get a lot of the runoff in the farmland near where we live and we're a considerable distance from the river...lots of tributaries and big canals in that area, flat as a pancake...

    Lived there year and a half 6 years ago working in the centre old city.Pretty quiet and boring other than the many stray dogs ! Knew of many who got bitten, I would not go out far at night and then only with a thick piece of wood prepared to scare off aggressive packs ! And the other negative is heat ! It’s sub central Thailand and at sea level, no breeze and stifling heat from April to June !
