alexlm Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) How to prove I got 40k transferred monthly into a Thai bank account while my Thai Wife and I were living abroad for more than a year? I don't have 400k and I will arrive in Pattaya with a non-mmigrant visa based on marriage. I didn't send 40k every month for the last year obviously.

Pattaya46 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Why would you want to prove it ? If abroad for more than 1 year, you have no more valid extension. So when you will ask for one you will be in the "first extension" case, with no need of proof on 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say the op had renewed his extension, then he and wife go is for say nine months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 If it is your first extension application you only need to show one or two 40k baht transfers into the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlm Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I left Thailand with my Thai Wife on 2018 February 24 and will be back on September 2019 or February 2020 in the worst case. Edited February 2, 2019 by alexlm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for first extension, you don't need 400,000 in the bank, seasoned for 2 months. Can just transfer 40,000 for a couple of months, then get extension? And then forget about transfers for 9 months, then deposit 400,000? Edited February 2, 2019 by Samuel Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perhaps almost 2 years. Get a new non o when you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only replying to a question about using the income option to apply for the first extension of stay. I assume somebody could do what you wrote but thy might have a problem when they apply for the 2nd extension and immigration noticed that had you applied using the income option but did not continue to do the deposits.

You can always get a Non-O from any place on earth and come to Thailand for at least three months, and then extended to another two months. So, you're good for five months. Can't you show five months of transfer. Assuming you're returning in 2020 when the immigration does not allow leniency. You can still get a ME visa good for one year to establish your one year worth of transfers. The new rule is a bonanza for married people. But people on retirement visa has hurdles to cross. For them, may an O-A visa is better option. Two years of hassle free stay in Thailand, requires only one out/in and no visit to immigration, your choice of bringing as little or as much as you want into Thailand.
