EbhB Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Is any documentation needed for the 800.000 or 400.000 baht when applying for retirement or marriage visa? In my case I have drawn my own salary for a year here, and has some cash I plan on getting into the account ASAP. Some will also come from abroad, but if I run it through Transferwise and ATMs here I won't have to wait for the transfer... I hope the need for documentation is for the monthly income on retirement only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 If applying for a extension of stay based upon marriage or retirement there is no requirement to prove where the funds came from. If applying for a a 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) entry at immigration to qualify for an extension based upon retirement you must prove the 800k baht came from abroad. For one to apply for a extension based upon marriage there is no requirement to prove where the 400k came from. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megascott Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 One immigration lady asked me about this, I promptly showed her the transactions on the Transferwise app. She said "Okay ka!" I think She just wanted to know how I did it. No docs. No requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbhB Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks everyone! I've kept my ATM slips for ages, although they fade I'll do copies of those just to make 100% sure - also it will be logged at the other end of course. When will all the paperwork end? Perhaps that is what is really scary, IF it ends it also means they've got AND use all your data actively... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbhB Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Another thing... If I keep 200k on each of two accounts, update the passbooks all the time & bring them when applying for marriage visa, would that be OK? Or would I have to get letters from both banks the same day I go to Nonthaburi immigration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bank letter for each account and updated bank book to show the 200k baht has been in the bank for months. Bank letter from the day before should be allowed and updated bank books the same day.

EbhB Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Ah, great - that tiny details about getting the letter the day before could easily save my day! I do NOT feel very well putting all the fiat currency I will have to put into these banks in ONE bank only... Wish I could have put up gold as collateral for getting married instead! ????
