Not easy. I'm not going to sidetrack this thread, except to say I bing in aud cash in one or two hits every year. I'm aware of various ways to transfer money. The best is to bring in cash and exchange here. Only suited to those that have reason to visit home country.

But if you don't have the income? Because you know you can live on less than 65K a month in Thailand, but not in US or Germany. Thats why you want to move to Thailand. That don't make any sense for me now :O(

Its confusing though, as this letter shows 2.18 and 2.22 (changes), and gives reasons/documents/procedures. Is there a 2.XX that states the 400K/800K that would not be affected by this notice? Because if the 400K/800K is part of 2.18 or 2.22, then this letter/memo looks a little scary.

Do I understand it right? We have the choice of leaving the 800/400 on the Thai account or need to proof retirement for 65K. Because I do not have much retirement and will not have ever, but will have no problems to leave the 800 on the account and bring extra money in every year. I am lost now. I can't proof 65k retirement. If so, I could still staying in the US or go back to Germany. Thats why I want move to live on $1000 a month, not $2000 here in Florida. Any advice?

the heading is misleading as it is not exactly what is needed for these 'visas', it is only exactly what is needed if you are using the income method. We are still presuming that the money in a bank account method remains the same.

So the existing "money in Thai bank" 800/400, still continues and the changes only concern expats using "income, combo"?

BTW...personally I use money in the bank. I would not be happy now showing monthly income. Like many others, I have income from rentals, super/shares etc. Do not qualify for pension, because of super fund/assets. Would certainly not like the changes to replace embassy SD.
