Seems the best idea, yes

But this would mean you can never change your bank account for your next extension? Even if you never used an agent.

Hi, Two things about the rent-the-money way ("agent meets financial requirements") which I don't understand: 1.) The agent deposits the money into your bank account for one day, how can he be sure to receive he money back? Does he have any hold on your bank account? Or do you need a joint account? 2.) I read many times that you are tied to this agent forever, except you start the non-o from the scratch. Why this? You just have to deposit money for one year (or 15 months to be sure) in another Thai bank account while the agent makes the extensions for you, and later you can show the financial requirements by yourself for an extension in future?

OK I see it's the stock symbol for Bangkok Bank.

What is BBL? I don't know this bank.

At which bank can you operate a US-Dollar account for foreigners via online banking? (Transfers, including transfers out of Thailand)

This is new information for me. They clearly explain that is must be "unearned income such as pension, rental, capital gain, dividend, etc.". "SUCH AS" this sounds like there is no difference which of these you get. I am above 50, don't have an "official" pension yet, but dividends above 80,000.- from a company where I own shares. Looks like I meet the requirements but still don't qualify?

Can someone help me with these questions regarding the "Wealthy Pensioner" USD 80,000.- per year income LTR? - What timeframe is considered? I know that in the two years before the year of the application the pension income must be 80,000.- per year. But are there no more checks later on? - 80,000.- before or after tax? - The 80,000.- must be sent to Thailand? Or is it ok if received outside of Thailand? - Yearly means it does not have to be distributed to 12 month of the year. One time payment of 80,000.- per year is ok?

I think it is quite standard internationally that you bring a form to the electricity company, both the owner and the tenant sign on the form, and from the starting date entered the tenant is responsible to pay the bill, with the tenant's name on the bill.

I never rented a condo in Thailand, but if someone owns a condo and has a longterm tenant, the owner is always responsible for the tenants utility bills to be paid? This is quite unusual compared to other countries.

Hi, I will live in my GF's house, but will pay the electricity bill (and other utilities). Is it possible to get the electricity bill in my name? Should we setup a faked rental contract to get this? Reason, I need the utility bill as proof of residence for various purposes. (Certificate of residence from immi is not enough.)
