Anyone know the cheapest place i can get a retirement visa if i do not have the 800,000 baht in my account. I have heard there is firms out there who will put the money in the bank for you so your bank statement shows you have that money in it.

Be careful with this route. Sounds a bit dodgy to me!!

I renewed my retirement visa the other day and this is what they wanted. 1) Affadvit of income from embassy 2) Application for visa extension w photo and copies of passport pages. That was it, took 10 minutes (after waiting an hour to be called). I had lots of other materials in support of income and bank records etc, but they didn't want them. That was in Chiang Mai. I would not expect everyone would be so fortunate everywhere. They seem to be a bit arbitrary in their conditions. Good Luck.

additionally, I have no doubt that had I not had so much documentation they probably would have requested it.

Retired, apparently without pension or enough money in the bank to keep immigration happy?
