OK, some interesting responses to my dilemma --- thank you.
I'm very interested in the option of entrusting my girlfriend by depositing a substantial sum into her a/c, and changing my extension method to monthly income as Dr Jack and I think one other person suggested.
Dr Jack, or anyone else who has done the following, please guide me through the following:
For the first time, last March, I did the extension all by myself --- not entirely straightforward, but also not insurmountable.
Now, I currently have c1,200,000 baht in my a/c. My renewal is due on 14th April. Please advise on satisfying the monthly income criteria in time for April 2026 if possible, or 2027 if not. Obviously, I want to run down the 1,200,000 baht, or the exercise would be pointless.
Thanks again.
David.
