Are you asking about embassy income letter from UK .. Ended years ago along with USA, AU. In addition to recently other countries.

Investing 800k in Thailand would be foolish if the intention is to use an agent. You would obtain a Non O outside of Thailand as the funds do not need to be in a Thai bank account. The agent then does the 12 month and ongoing extensions. Invest the 800k outside of Thailand. That's obvious.

In others words you have nothing to contribute that is useful to others. Just fanciful claims

Immigration want to see a 12 month Bank statement at time of extension showing 12 months of international transfers of 65k+ What happens after deposited immigration is and could not be interested in. In my case approx 120k hits my Thai Bank on 14th of every month. Same day those funds go into my Thai partners account. Those funds we live off. Wash and repeat. Again recycling in a nonsense.

Please post facts. Using an agent to avoid the financial requirements previously would start at ~13k That has recently increased due to banking issues. Where do you obtain this service for 2k.

Many threads on this. Mostly pre 2020. Immigration would not "spot it" Fact is it's a plain stupid idea.

Does not have much to do with the thread which is related to financial compliance for extensions retirement. If you opt to leave your funds in a Thai Bank then fine. Out of interest without an extension how are you living in Thailand?

And and what do they live off. Oh missed that bit. You are aiming this at folk working illegally in Thailand and hence can send the funds back and forth. The ramblings are becoming more ridiculous.

For who. The concept of sending funds back and forth is frankly stupid. As already mentioned the VAST majority of expats here on extensions retirement use the income transferred to live off.

Your options are limited. Given extensive history and ED visa the safe entry (at airport) won't be super cheap. Contact them urgently for a price. Are you visa exempt to Vietnam? Your other option would be to stick with the Nong Khai idea and stay few days in Vientiane. Obviously under 50 so Non O not an option?

Yes yes. There are eg roster workers eg month on/off rotation. In years gone by they got away with visa exempt entries. Not so simple now and if a Non O is an option then that's possible. Not interested in meaningless chit chat. The vast majority of expats living in Thailand with extensions retirement have option of money in Bank or income method or agent.

I'm not aware of agents that do bounces from UT to Hong Khai border. You could fly to UT and make your way to border. Be prepared to spend few days in Vientiane. You state few days left. Most likely you don't have time to do a flight and return with "safe entry service" at Bangkok airports

Where are you located

That's an old suggestion that while possible is on the silly side. People on extensions need money to live. 65k is hardly excessive. Personally transfer 120k per month. There is no excess. Yes and recently some more stopping that. Don't need the embassy letter just need to show 12 transfers of minimum 65k/transfer

It is located Zone 2 after security and prior to passport control. It's adjacent left side. At airport they offer an optional "service fee" 200b and provide tm8 + photo etc so you just hand over pp.

OP, have a read of this thread... https://aseannow.com/topic/1296230-child-going-overseas-without-mother/ It refers to "consent letter" from mother. Has a link to it early in the thread. Probably not necessary however there for consideration.

Ongoing posts regarding OP removed along with replies. @TroubleandGrumpy enough.

Off topic post removed.

When did you open your Bank account

Where?

The OP location would be useful. Also did not mention banks asking for COR. Yellow book? Doubt that.

Discussed in this thread however did not note specific reference to "yellow book". That would be completely unreasonable. https://aseannow.com/topic/1351977-foreigners-face-new-hurdles-in-opening-thai-bank-accounts/

With a Non O you should be able to open a Thai Bank account. What is your location, meaning where are you being refused by banks you mention. A Bank may also request a certificate of residence. That is obtained at immigration. Which immigration office. BTW: To buy time you can obtain 60 day extension "to visit wife"

Similar to all your posts. Heavy handed using terms like "dunderhead" to describe those that do not use agents.. The amounts and easy access to agents you are posting seems to suggest Jomtien. Some immigration offices simply do not deal with agents. In some instances the stamps are obtained elsewhere. As, I pointed out in another post... the paperwork for extension retirement is not extensive. I often suggest folk use agents for various reasons, not the least being mobility, insufficient funds etc. Bit rich to refer to those opting to not use an agent as dunderheads.
