But if you met the financial requirements and only used an agent because you were lazy would it still be an issue switching to DIY? I am think of doing that next extension.

Did the money in the bank come from abroad? DR Jack54 has mentioned before however, if the money has been in your account 'a while' it shouldn't matter anyway.

  • That's correct.  Be aware that the Non O retirement application inside Thailand he would need to show the 800k has come from abroad... Unless it has been in Thailand for several months already. 

  • He has couple of options. 1. Buy a throw away ticket to cheapest destination. 2. Buy a rent a ticket from company eg "onwardticket.com" ...$16usd.    Explained fully in this blog:

  • Up to the friend however can't be about money as the opportunity cost of having funds locked in Thai bank account at very low interest doesn't stack up vs modest (by comparison) to agent fees.

The money only needs to be shown to have come from abroad if applying for Non O based on retirement in Thailand at local immigration office.

For 12 months extensions the money (money in bank method) does not need to be shown came from abroad.

Of course if someone is using income method then the monthly transfers of 65k need to be from abroad.

Yes, but what if he used an agent a few years back to get the original 3 months without having the money from abroad?
