I believe many answers have diverted from the initial subject matter of the question. Or perhaps the question has not been formulated well, but I'm currently experiencing a similiar situation. I've stopped employment and thus contributing under section 33 from SSO and have applied within 1 month after stopping with working at SSO to apply under section 39 to continue paying on inidvidual basis. The answer was I need to produce/ show a Tabian Baan, which I do not have. certificate of residence is not sufficient enough. Has anyone heard of this and whether there's a solution to this?

Thanks for the additional info. What kind of proof is generally accepted by Immigration to show the funds are coming from overseas?

Leaves the question unanswered. Does the actual conversion of incoming foreign funds need to be done by the receiving bank or can the money coming from abroad also be in THB

But that's for the actual extension (proof of sufficient funds in account should be enough). But for the first time application of Non-Immigrant O, i believe there's the requirement to show it comes from abroad, right?

Dear Thaivisa members, I’ve a question in regards of the Non-Immigrant O (Retirement Visa), which I’m assisting my dad with. One thing that confuses me and where I read (and hear) many different stories is regarding the actual seasoning money (800 K THB) coming from abroad. Can someone please let me know if the actual incoming foreign fund transfer has to be in foreign currency and if the receiving bank in Thailand has to do the actual exchange from foreign currency into THB? Problem is the following… I’ve instructed the bank in my dad’s home country to make a SWIFT transaction into his Thai Baht Account. However, the sending bank in Europe has already converted the EURO into Thai Baht when transferring the money into the Thai Baht account from Siam Commercial Bank. The receiving bank has issued a Credit Advise Report, mentioning all details from the transaction, such as bank account and name details from the account holder in Europe. So in principle I can proof the funds were coming from abroad with SWIFT, but the only thing is that there’s no conversion done from EUR into THB by the receiving bank in Thailand. So the amount shown in the credit advise report is already in THB (not EURO) and no currency exchange rate has been mentioned in this report either. Not sure if that’s an issue and if the credit advice report is sufficient enough to proof to immigration that the funds came from abroad? Or is the actual conversion from foreign currency into THB by the receiving bank in Thailand the most essential to proof the money came from abroad? Again thanks in advance for serious responses related to the initial topic. Best regards, J.Dee

Dear ThaiVisa members & community, Not sure if this topic is in the right group here, but was hoping to receive some info and advise on the following case; I have signed an employment agreement with my employer for a definite term of 12 months (the term). There's a provision allowing me to resign before the end of the term with a 30 days written notice. I would like to know if there's any provision in Thai labor law that in case the employee decides to resign before the contract expiration date that the employee needs to pay a compensation to the employer for breaking the employment contract with definite term? So in my particular case what would happen when I decide to resign after 4 months of employment? Do I need to pay my employer the remainder of the 8 months salary until my the contract expires? Or do I just give a 30 days written notice and no compensation to be paid to employer for 'breaking the contract'? Thanks and best regards, Ook
