Gammy Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Nearing the end of my first week in Bangkok. Was granted a retirement visa without any real hassle, although they made me open an account with a Thai bank with a minimal deposit, despite being satisfied with my annual pension. They told me that when I apply to renew the visa next year I must show a letter from my Thai bank that I have made regular deposits from the UK. I can do this ok but it costs for transfers, whereas I can withdraw money from my UK account using my ATM card. This is free and gives a good exchange rate. Would they accept evidence from the ATM receipts? Can you claim VAT back on a retirement visa for goods purchased? Appreciate any advise on these matters. Thanks Gammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Never land Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 YES but you have to check up WHAT amonut. They maybe say 20 000 and you only put in 10 00 then you are sad person for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
