I turn 50 in January and plan to get Retirement status here . I have the funds required (800,000 baht) sitting in an Australian bank ready to be transferred to a Thai bank . My question is as follows: When I visit the Thai consul in Perth at the end of this month to get a non imm O, what sort of paperwork will he want to see? ........or will I only need this proof later in Thailand when I change my non imm visa into a Retirement Visa?

Cheers

You only need the money in a Bank in Thailand at the time you apply for the extension. Perth is good to deal with. No need to call them.
