You can't show your 800k online, what are you talking about?

He's blathering on about online reporting, not the money issue if you follow the link. I blame phuketrichard for not putting PHUKET in the title so now we get the riff raff from elsewhere descending on us- I did warn him. ????

 

Technically one could show the money online- just log onto the Internet when at Immigration and show the IO the current balance in your account. he could then just tick a box on a form to say he had seen it.

    OK, I can see why they want to extend the period you have 800k in the bank, but, why can we only spend 400k? Why do we have to always have a minimum of 400k in the account. Immigration keep bangi

  • I am out of the country and I have decided, even though I have months left on my last retirement extension, I will get a new multi entry OA visa in the US. Thai Immigration just keeps making up rules

I'm thinking they would not entertain that and I certainly would not want to do it, I have no problem going back 3 months after a granted temporary extension(should that happen) to prove my 800 has not been touched.

Wasn't there posts saying that Phuket immigration will check the 800k after the three months at the next extension?

Just because Pattaya does it, doesn't necessarily apply to Phuket.

You guys misunderstood what I said.

 

What I meant was the 90 days reporting online and not show 800k online.

 

If we have to go to immigration after 90 days to show our 800k, then it defeats the purpose of saving a trip to immigration for our 90 days report.

Why confuse with 90 day reporting.

Why did immigration need us to report 800k after 90 days?

 

It is because everyone of us have to do 90 days report anyway, so it is doing two things at the same time. That must be their thinking.

Easier just to take the bank book and copies. So long as recent transaction. Doubt screen shot balance acceptable. But who knows.

Please don't confuse the issue.

This extra report after 90 days is pure speculation at the moment. Merijn has stated that it might be a random selection and he knows better than most. Let's wait for someone actually to renew an extension and report back on here to find out the reality.

The  Phuket volunteer website says random so it’s ,as usual, up to each officer to decide. Best to be friends I suspect

New information form Phuket Immigration Volunteer.

My retirement 1 year is THB 800,000 in Thai bank method.

It seems that we do not have to report our bank amount at TM-47 90 days.

But,

Oh no !

I wonder if that random check will be at the 90 day reporting.

anyone here in Phuket been to immigration and can confirm its  2 months for the 800,000 BEFORE as the PIV link states> NOT first time getting a extension.
Minimum of 800.000 Baht in Thai bank account (in your own name) for at least 2 months before the application date.

 

OR is it 3 months

 

Have heard in Pattaya, they are making everyone go in 3 months AFTER they receive their extension to check they still have 800,000 in.

It is changed to 2 months before the application date for all extensions. (first time and consecutive extensions)

Just because Pattaya does it, doesn't necessarily apply to Phuket.

That 3 months balance after the application date (and the balance for the whole year) will be checked at your next years extension. 

Unless you are one of the lucky ones who is getting a under consideration stamp, but until now this has not happened yet

Remarkable if this more or less weekly "modified" regulations are to believe in! They who still can get income verification from their embassy can get away with transfer whatever amount to Thailand monthly/yearly but they who use the 800k in bank have to keep 400K in the bank all the year....????
