They want 800.000 into a Thai bank so that if you die intestate they will keep it or else pick up the interest as a "fee" for holding it. Your lawyers in the UK or US will take about two years to get it back for a nice fee, and the bank also gets a nice fee for the transfer.

Well the rule states that the 800k must be in the bank 3 months before application, my advice is to whip it out after the renewal is done.

Just a quick question to people replying to this OP...

Why is everyone presuming this guy is coming here for sex?

To be honest with you...

You should consider N. Korea, I understand they might open the border soon, or some under developed country in Africa perhaps.

Thailand is not cheap and is not really a 3rd world backpacker paradise anymore, (perhaps 40 years ago).

Your budget is about 25% minimum of what you will need here, also you need quite a lot of money if you are getting a retirement visa, you can't just come here as a tourist and decide to stay. only rich people can do that.
