Immigration will not accept statements downloaded and printed from an APP. They must be issued by the bank, stamped and signed. The bank will not stamp or sign copies you print off.

I would also request a copy of the chanote from the owners. Scan or take photocopies of these document for future use.

I don't think you do. Jack's last sentence referred to the extension, not the Non O visa. Are you stating you think, or I think, that applying for the Non O within Thailand isn't possible. What is it you think you extend for 12 months?

Using 800K funds in a Thai bank for the Non O application at Immigration. Whether your IO will accept 12 x 65K overseas transfers for the 1 year extension where the source is not from a pension can only be answered by your Immigration office.

Where have I mentioned the word 'income' in that quote. I clearly stated the 65K overseas income transfer method 'was not' accepted for the Non O at Immigration. The only evidence of income acceptable for the Non O at Immigration is the Embassy Income letter.

Appointments only 2 weeks in advance at Savannahket. I assume, then, you don't apply for the 60 day extensions you're entitled to. If as the MFA have announced all Thai Embassies will switch to the e-visa applications by the end of this year, then there is a possibility the Non Imm O ME visa will no longer be available. What is it you find so daunting about applying for the 1 year extension at Immigration based on Thai spouse?

Which Thai Embassy, and which visa type? Appointments are available from 1st Oct at Savannahket.

When 3 Embassies stopped issuing Income letters, Immigration issued a new order in regard to 1 year extension of stay permitting as an alternative, proof of income via monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank. This alternative of proof of income was never added to the requirements for a Non O visa at Immigration.

Item 6 is in reference to the Embassy Income letter supplied by your Embassy as proof of income. The OP is a US citizen and therefore cannot obtain such a letter.

Your previous post acknowledging you are aware that using the income method, it should be from a pension. It sounds as though your 'boss lady' may overlook the fact your source of income is not from a pension, with perhaps a 10K donation to the Xmas party fund.

Only if your IO do not insist that income must be from a pension, otherwise you'll have to use the 800K in the bank method.

You're failing to understand the differences in requirements. To apply for a 1-year extension of stay, you first must have obtained a Non Imm O visa. You can apply for that visa type at a Thai Embassy before entering Thailand, subject to the requirements of that Thai Embassy. You can apply for the Non O at Immigration, after entering VE or TV, subject to Immigrations requirements. (Only 800K in a Thai bank, or an Embassy Income letter acceptable.) Having obtained the Non O, you can then later applying for the 1 year extension, (a permit, not a visa) subject to Immigrations requirements. The financial requirement for applying for the Non O at Immigration does not accept 65K overseas transfers as evidence. The financial requirements for a 1 year extension at Immigration, permits 12 x 65K monthly overseas transfers as evidence, but that proof of income is supposed to come from either a pension, investments or dividends. (Something you're aware of after speaking to your local IO and posting) For the 1 year extension, proof of acceptable finances are: 800K in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to the date of application. An Embassy Income letter. Evidence of 12 monthly overseas transfer of 65K+ (proof of pension may be requested) A combination of funds in a Thai bank + 12 monthly overseas transfers, totalling a min of 800K for the year.

Alternatively, you could apply for that in your home Country before entering Thailand, or as @DrJack54 proposed, apply for the Non O from Immigration once you arrive in Thailand. Insurance is not a requirement for the Non Imm O visa, or 1 year extensions. Subject to being accepted by your IO from a source other than a pension.

The caveat to that was of course if your IO would accept the 65K transfers from a source other than a pension. You previously expressed the view that may not be acceptable by your IO. In that case, you would need to use the 800K funds in the bank method for the 1-year extension.

https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/visa-extension/#1610937479150-0456cfd8-f864 22 on the list. Scroll down to List of documents > 3. Evidence of income such as a retirement pension or interest or dividend and/or What you call a 'retirement visa' is actually the Non Imm O visa. With 800K in a Thai bank, you can apply for the Non O at Immigration.

The above info graph is the procedure to apply for the Non Imm O at Immigration based on retirement after entering Visa exempt, or on a Tourist visa. The 65K monthly overseas transfers are not permitted for this type of application. If you enter on a Non Imm O visa, then apply to extend the 90-day permission of stay for 1 year, then the 12 x 65K transfers are accepted.

Op intends entering VE then applying Non O. The 65K monthly overseas transfer method is not accepted for the Non O at Immigration.

No problem depositing 800K, but proof of the funds being transferred from overseas may be requested.

In disagreement with @DrJack54 The 65K monthly overseas transfers are not accepted for the Non O application at Thai Immigration. Only 800K in a Thai bank on the day of application, acceptable. As a US citizen, the Embassy Income letters are not available. 12 x 65K monthly overseas transfers are acceptable for the 1 year extension application, though proof of from a pension may be requested. I recommend you obtain the Non O from a Thai Embassy/Consulate to enter Thailand.

Watch some English language movies, with Thai subtitles to practice.

You'd have to enquire at your local Amphoe what their requirements were.

Yes, the statement must be produced and stamped by the bank to be acceptable. CM appears to be one of the odd rogue IO's requesting these itemised monthly transfer letters.

When asked about such letters at my BKK branch, the manager went nuts. Phoned Immigration and told them his staff were far to busy to do their job for them. If they didn't/couldn't understand the credit, debit and balance columns on a statement, he suggested they send a member of staff down to the bank for some training. 🤣 I've previously posted my experience doing an extension on behalf of a disabled expat using the monthly overseas transfers. The IO kept going backwards and forwards through the 3 pages of a 12-month statement and repeatedly stated 'not enough money'. I'd highlighted all the monthly overseas transfers. After 90 minutes of arguing I demanded to see the senior supervisor, but now being nearly lunchtime, I had to return later. The senior IO couldn't see what the issue was, so called the IO into his office. Turned out he'd been using the 'balance' column to make his assessment. He couldn't read English and didn't understand the difference between credit/debit and balance. They've never requested such a letter since. I suspect this is not an isolated case, hence the request for the stand-alone monthly itemised transfer letter.

A letter from the dealership with the motorcycle particulars would suffice. Usually available on the day for a fee. Dealerships need the COR to register your name, address etc, in the logbook. You could probably purchase a motorcycle off marketplace, but you'd then need the COR to register it in your name. Long term, maybe aim at obtaining a Yellow Tabien Baan + ID card.
