matcha Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Is there anyone who use 2 more bank to get retiment visa ? Ex. (400K in BKKBank)+ (400K in HSCB) = 800K in Thai bank. Of course you need 2 Bank certification. I 'm keeping money in BKK Bank for 3 years.Now the interest rate is 0. Why not move money to the Bank which give better interest rate?

PeaceBlondie Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Likewise, for the pension method of qualifying for the retirement visa, you can combine pensions. I have 3, none of which satisfies the 65K amount in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Actually there is no Thai tax due for most people as it is refunded unless you hold a lot more in a passbook account than most people. Of course there is always the US IRS for some of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) I extended my visa recently with 2 bank accounts, and Bangkok Bank issued just the one certification letter that covered both accounts. As one account was a joint account with my wife, I had to produce the marriage certificate and her ID for Immigration, but there were no problems with the application.
