My guess would be that is a small office and the OP has been using it for many years so maybe the IMM folks don't know him by name but certainly would know him by sight. Makes a big difference.

No begrudging here then.

You are describing the deposit method which I and many others use. This method requires no documentation apart from the Thai bank book showing the deposit and a covering letter confirming it from your Thai bank (usually 100B). It does not have to come from abroad, but it can if you like.

 

Also any such money only has to be on deposit for the three months immediately preceding the application, and so it can be used for other things if needed for the rest of the year. This method offers many advantages for those who have the 800kB available.

Thanks but maybe I didnt convey what I intended.

I meant leaving it there and never touching it again.

Thus whenever I go to renew the govt will see the same amount from a foreign bank albeit it has remained there eg for 5 years

The new requirement is to show at least 65k baht transferred into the country from abroad.

That has been discussed in other topics already. This one has the new requirements shown in it.

Just a 'for instance'

If I put 800000 in the account ( from an overseas bank) but never spent it, just left it would that cover me henceforth?
