Hi all

I'm on a non o visa based on a Thai child and for the last few years have had over 400k in the bank. However my problem is that will change and will fall under the required limit. 

My income is 70k per month from the UK. 

My question is will this overseas income qualify as a monthly income of more than 45k but I'm sure I've read somewhere that this income must originate from Thailand. 

Advice appreciated.  

Yes, as long as you get a letter from the British embassy confirming the income, you can use it. There’s no rule that says the income must be generated in Thailand.

 

Also, if it helps, the 400K only needs to be in the account on the day you apply when applying for an extension as a parent.

Although it (inaccurately) refers to a "retirement visa" it is also applicable in your particular case.
