    as well i presented them with my print outs for 12 months for my bank in Canada.

    Maybe I am misunderstanding something but are you saying that you applied using the income method?  Then you say your bank in Canada?  The Embassy letter should have been all you needed but then if you show that the pension money went to a Canadian bank, that won't do it since it has to be in a Thai bank.

    Any one of the following would have been OK.  Monthly >65K into a Thai bank, 800K for the proper time in a Thai bank or a valid Embassy letter.

  2. What I would do is to:

    1.  Make sure all the 65K rules are followed

         Minimum of 65K every single month on roughly similar dates

         Not one month even 1฿ short

         Every deposit is coded to show foreign transfer

         Your bank is willing and able to prove the deposits

    2. Get your extension based on income and don't even mention that you have the 800K

    3. If successful, do whatever you wish with the 800K

    First released in 2015. Updated frequently since then.  When you say "its final form" is that it? No more updates?

    Tried once before but found it useless and not compatible with many sites. 

    This one is not at all like the one released in 2015.  I think they kept the name "Edge" just for familiarity.   "Final form" meant that the Chrome based version until now has been available as a beta now it is released in a full version.  I am sure it will get frequent updates.

  4. Has anyone tried the new Microsoft Edge?  It just became available for download yesterday in its final form, 16-Jan-20.  It is pretty cool and is based on Chrome and looks almost like it too.

    No idea yet if it will work with the various immigration online forms.

    Vents are pointless because hot air in the roof is the same as the hot air outside, extract one amount and another amount replaces it.Even a jet powered fan system has no effect unless you replace that air with cool air.

    Think about it.

     

    Soffit vents in the west are there for the purpose of circulating air and allowing humidity not to increase moisture levels of timber roof trusses and ceiling joists.

    Airbricks at ground level are doing exactly the same job.

     

    In Thailand steel trusses and concrete floors do not need ventilation.

    The first part is completely wrong.

    It is not so straight forward as Phuket Immigration are saying. 

     

    Yesterday I went to my Immigration Office to renew my retirement visa. Over the past year I have transferred 65,000 baht every month into my Thai account from the UK. Because the exchange rate is always better in Thailand than the UK I always transfer in sterling. In June, because of exchange rates the transfer was 63,990. I therefore increased my sterling transfer to ensure this didn't happen again. In October I transferred 65,000 from my other Thai account. All other 10 months showed payments between 78,000 and 66,000.

     

    My visa was refused, because 1 month was less than 65,000 and I hadn't realised you could not transfer from another Thai account. The fact that my total income met their annual requirement was apparently irrelevant.

     

    Having returned to the same immigration office for the past seven years with an Embassy letter confirming my salary and getting my visa renewed without any problems, I was disappointed. 

    To prevent this from happening, I use Transferwise and specify the receiving amount and Transferwise calculates how much is needed to receive that amount.

  7. I have an O-A with similar dates.  I recently left and returned to Thailand and got a new permission to stay date without issue or insurance questions.  However, when you actually apply for an "extension", when your permission to stay expires, you will most likely have to show insurance although I personally have not gotten to that point myself.  Multiple people have reported that they have been required to get insurance when applying for an extension (TM7).
