Totally agree, I think she is just making this c#$p up as she goes along.

Well might as well really muddy this discussion up. When the IO told me that I had to have proof of funds she also told me (i am not making this up believe me) that 65,000 was not enough each month as I might just be recirculating old money. So I asked her how much is enough money each month. Her reply was what ever your stated amount of your pension is that is what you need to send. So according to her if my pension is 150,000/month that is what I must send. It must match the proof of income statement. My wife was standing right there and asked her again in Thai so there was no misinterpretation. I am fine as I have 2 accounts so can go either way.

Pension letters are all well and good, but what does someone do that is just sending themselves money out of a savings account in their home country each month to live on? Sounds like you are back to bank statements.

Its pension money

Yes they were international deposits via Wise transfers. Was told I had to prove where the money came from ie: pension or whatever the source of income was.

I just returned form my local immigration office in Phetchaburi. I tried to use the monthly income method to satisfy the income requirement. I had a 12 month stamped and signed statement from Bangkok Bank showing regular deposits of well over bt 65,000 every month (12months). Was told by immigration that I need a certified statement to verify the source of the funds that were deposited. The funds are from a pension. This is an immigration issue not a bank issue This is the first time I have used the monthly method as I used the 800,000 lump sum method in years past. Is this the standard requirement for monthly income? Thanks

Thanks for the replies and info

You are correct. I have a reentry stamp that is good until March. I will be reentering the country in October. So just trying to figure out if I need to purchase a Thai based insurance to reenter. Thanks for all the help.

Sorry for not completely understanding, let me re ask my questions. Previously I was on a Non -O ( marriage) visa Earlier this year I converted to Non-OA (retired) still valid until March. When I changed visas never I was never asked about insurance. I happen to have health insurance (foreign company) completely unrelated to any visas, just something I carry. I am currently out of the country and returning in October what will I be required to provide to immigration to enter on my current visa. Thanks for the help

Greetings Have a similar situation and hoping for some insight. Currently out of the country and returning 1st of October. Am on a OA visa with expire date March 5 2025. My current health insurance has an automatic renewal of 12-31-2024 (have had the policy for 4 years always renews last day of the year) Question: When I re-enter in October is my allowed to stay going to be limited to 12-31-2024? If this is the case do I then return to immigration with my new policy and have my stay extended? Thanks for any assistance.
