This is quite complicated until one actually takes on board what the rules are.
Many people fuk it up including myself until Todd clarified it. Its not fuking hard, just read the friggin rules.
If one obtains the, " single entry, Non " O " type Visa biased on retirement within Thailand one must show 800 K in a Thai bank or 65000 per month in a pension fund in their bank book.
If one obtains the Single entry Non O type visa based on retirement in their home country one does not need to have the 800 K in a Thai bank.
If a person is an Australia or an American citizen they can then go to their embassy and sign a Stat Dec stating they have the required amount in their bank account.
If you are not an Australian or a yank and will be applying for a Retirement visa you must show the money in a Thai bank account.
Its not that fooking hard, just read the posts EH.
In plain English, if you are not an Australian or a Yank you must have the 800K in a Thai bank to get the retirement Visa.
