For what, a DTV from a Thai Embassy/Consulate? Totally confusing. Intending to go the DTV route, or a 'grandfathered' extension based on retirement, which you don't qualify for.

At HCMC, it's a 6 month statement showing the equivalent of 20K BHT, in any bank, in any currency. From October, HCMC are switching to the e-visa application system.

Why even live in Pitsofaya, move to a more civilised area. 🥴

No, otherwise it would display as 'edited' Per this example.

When you apply for the following year's extension, you need a 12 month backdated statement, so Immigration can then check you met the financial requirements for the previous year's extension. If you didn't, they can refuse a further extension application.

The validity of a visa is different from the period of stay. The validity of a visa is the period you can use it to enter Thailand. The period of stay is granted by an Immigration officer on arrival, subject to the type of visa. You could therefore have arrived on 14th October (visa is still valid) and been granted a stay of 90 days on entry. You can also apply for a 60 day extension to each 90 day entry. Possible to stay for almost 17 months with 3 border runs and 3 x 60 day extensions.

With a 60 day extension, it gives him up to 17 months.

That is not the wording. It is one month after retirement was started, which is not the same as one month after arrival. Again, the OP retired some time ago. He doesn't have a Thai bank account. It is impossible for him to have started transferring funds the month after retirement.

Correct.

Confirms what I have been stating - thanks.

Or the other translation is it's not a Non Immigrant type visa then.

There is nothing in the passbook or bank statements to indicate you used Wise. Provided you can provide evidence the monthly transfer came from overseas is the only requirement.

As an aside, my IO also accept printed Wise transfer receipts as evidence of overseas transfers. These detail the original currency, overseas bank, the exchange rate and amount deposit in BHT in the Thai bank.

To complete a SWIFT international transfer, you’ll need to provide the following specific information. The name and address of your recipient’s bank. Your recipient’s name, address, and the account type they have with their bank (checking, current, savings, money market, etc.). Your recipient’s account number or IBAN The recipient’s bank’s BIC/SWIFT code The BIC/SWIFT is a bit like a US routing number or a zip code. It denotes the exact bank the recipient account is in. https://wise.com/us/blog/making-an-international-wire-transfer#:~:text=To complete a SWIFT international,money market%2C etc.). Thai banks use the SWIFT codes to identify the various banks, for International transfers. The FTT request sent to Thailand has to include the SWIFT code in order to identify which Thai bank the recipient is with.

Because of your failing to understand. Using the combination method doesn't exempt you from still providing evidence of 12 monthly overseas transfers as part of the income requirement of the combo method. If that methods suits you, fine.

Online statements from your branch (only 6 months availability) can be different to those on a HQ requested (12 month) statements. As I previously stated, regardless of who and how you transfer from overseas, only the bank HQ's have the SWIFT code required to make the transfer. All transaction go through the HQ to your branch. The first 3/4 digits of your account number inform HQ of the relevant branch.

Jeez, you're still using the income method though, albeit with part funds in the bank.

It's possible that the particular transfer was through Wises Bangkok bank account, hence it's coded differently than the normal TRN code when transferred through Wises Kasikorn account. Requesting a credit advice receipt should show who it went through. HQ statement for that transaction should be logged as an International transfer.

Kasikorn credit advice receipt. Bangkok bank credit advice receipt.

Only for those using the income method.

It should certainly do so if you request a statement from their HQ, as my friend does.

Its validity can be for 5,10, or 20 years, but on entry you only receive permission of stay for 1 year. At the end of that 1 year, you can either exit, re-enter to obtain another 1 year permission of stay, or extend your permission of stay for a further year at an Immigration office. The validity of a visa is the period during which you can use it to enter Thailand. The period of stay is different from the validity of the visa.

It's coded TRN in a Kasikorn passbook as others are noting in their posts. Personally I use BKK and all overseas transfers are coded as FTT in the passbook, provided it was paid through Wises BKK account and not their Kasikorn account. A friend uses Kasikorn, he usually gets the TRN code in his passbook, but his statements requested from HQ always state 'International' transfer. Wise's object and main aim is to make transfers as speedily as possible. If you're with BKK, the transfer could go through their Kasikorn account, or vice versa. They cannot guarantee the payment will be made through their branch account corresponding to your bank.

Topic isn't about how fast the transfers arrive. For those that use the monthly overseas transfer method for income, it's providing proof it was a foreign transfer.
