I understand it look a little bit much strange on first look , but i avoid the Tax hassle doc. from Th. and i can keep my Belgium banks with no problem by keeping official address in Belgium , needed to keep being intitled to the free Hospitalization & included repatriation if needed ,dead or alive for 90 days from my Belgian Gov. on condition each holiday is no longer than 3 months (90 day) Living in 2 worlds short explained , the costs on 75+ insurance in Thailand is worth the flying 2 times Swimming in the ever changing rules from TH & Belgium 😁

Questions re retirement visa Pattaya
david555 replied to Happy happy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I can confirm that I have always followed that Jomtien immigration guideline, but during the covid period I still had to queue outside in a crowd for 45 minutes, unlike normal, just walk in, hand in the doc. and go back outside without waiting, regardless of whether others were being treated! That is why I literally asked the I.O. ( that friendly Indian Thai I.O) what the punishment / consequence / fine would be if I had not done that ...... Clearly surprised and bored he admitted that there was no fine or punishment or consequence regarding this, but that it is meant to help us that we would not act unwisely or forget to keep the obligation to keep the 400,000 in full ..... friendly explanation but a bit of a weak defense, because of course 3 months you have to have 800,000 Baht back in full on the account for the new extension later So DR jack54 is right .... no forced to do in real The final controle is by your new extention later if the 800 000 rule was followed in full -

On condition you are under a I.O. office that accept the combo method. I just gave it as a extra possibility solution for those on narrow limit , or does not like to keep full 800K on a Thai bank as if not really needing it can be anyway under yor own control I myself kept the complete 800K in full on bank all time as i considered it as a eventuality reserve fund ...

you could live for 7 month's on half (400 000) of that money ,.... on condition to fill up by the dates for renewing your extension , meaning that you need to transfer or deposit the missing 400000 Thb in time . I guess (hope for them ...) that a person living in Thailand as a expat has at least some money by month coming in on his account in home country

"Hydrogen won't be a source of energy, only a means of storage." same for electric cars , why else they need a battery to store their electric energy ☺️ -

of course ...., i only mentioned that it need to come from abroad . Only sometimes example Wise use wrong label and you need to ask your bank for a credit advise doc., as else your I.O. could refuse the transfer as non foreign transfer -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
david555 replied to fulhamster's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Example why taking the cash to Thailand yourself : A) get a Non o in home country following the requirements proof of value on Home country bank of 800K B) as you do not have a Thai bank yet , you can not transfer by bank C) you need Non O visa for opening Bank in Thailand , so you take it cash to Th. following customs procedures D) Once in Thailand with the Non O open Th bank account and deposit the 800 K E) after 2 months money on bank you can start the extension that is why it is possible to make a foreign Cash transfer by flight , unless you like flying 2 times up and down to make first flight for opening Th. bank account and so transferring by bank to Thai account -
