I had to go temporarily from a retirement to a marriage status this year because I messed up on my 800k.
I actually kept that money in a Thai higher return account of 4% per annum, then I put back in a normal bank 3 months before retirement renewal. Been doing that every year,
Firstly it was only a few days late depositing, then my Immigration told me that I can’t take the money out anymore as head office tightened up on withdrawing the funds.
What a ball ache this Marriage visa thing is, lots of paperwork, trips to the local government office, & two home visits, we could not get any neighbor willing to confirm my residence, are they all hiding something?
Got the village leader to do it in the end, & we don’t even know him.
In a phone call the Immigration police boss said to the wife “look after my guys will you” ฿1,000 between the three of em, that’s enough!
