Not sure how you got a VOA. I am sure it was a 30 day visa exempt entry.

How many years ago did you do the visa application?

Last month.

As said proof of foreign transfer will be required if change of entry status required (as it seems is your plan).  For a large transfer see no reason to try and avoid the small cost of normal SWIFT bank to bank transfer fee as that will be a set amount so not a large percentage of 800k.  The money should be sent as USD  (very poor exchange rate if done outside Thailand) and the conversion to baht will take place at the receiving Thai bank (max cost 500 baht).

 

You are aware the financial requirements in Thailand do not apply if you obtain a non-immigrant O-A visa from Thailand Consulate prior to travel here?  Money can stay in US for one (or almost 2 years) before there would be a requirement to show funds here.  Yes there is a police report and medical certificate required but for most people these are minor if they have time for advance planning and there would not be any need for change of status once here as at entry you would get a 1 year stay.

Changed from VOA to non-imm. Did not have to show funds came from abroad.

The letter from the bank,for immigration only shows the amount and how long it's been on deposit.

I applied for a re entry permit last week using the download from MFA website (Pinned on TV). Other than insisting upon having my phone no on the back there was no difference to my last one some years ago.

HTH

I also did one last week and easy peasy.

Might be easier to just get tourist visa in Canada,covert to non-o in Thailand and apply for 1yr. ext,have 400k in Thai bank for 3 mos.

Have been playing golf in Thailand since 2005, and I've never heard of this, or come across it. Have played in Pattaya, Phuket, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and this is a newbie for me.

You need to get out more with the "boys"

Costs roughly 500 baht for every 100k decalared as purchase price.

I'm with Thai Ins. You must join before 59 but can stay in after that. Pay 14,000 yr. Age is not calculated. Have had 2 major hospital stays and they payed for nearly all.Recognized by numerous private Thai hospitals.

The big gov't hospital Phutchinarat is the best and cheapest,

Cheap prices and owner not in country are first red flags.

You only have a basic third party insurance when you get the new tax sticker.

If the car is older than 10 years it is not possible to get full comprehensive as we call it in the UK.
