sumrit Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 A friend of mine is coming to Thailand in about two months to retire. He's coming here on an O visa and will apply for an extention based on retirement when he gets here. Income wise he will use his UK pension but will have to top up a shortfall by transfering about 150,000 baht into his Thai bank account. Does the 150,00 baht have to be in his bank account for three months before he can apply for the extention or can he apply immediately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 months rule seems to be enforced only if you apply with the full 800k and no income statement. The rule is not clear and it will depend on your local immigration office/officer. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 That said immigration normally wants application to occur during the last 30 days of your permitted to stay stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
