Hello, 

so far I thought of the fixed deposit method, and didn't look much for something else , but for some reason I may think of the combo 

method; do the new rules change something ? my embassy still writes a letter, it says for exemple that  I have 600000 baht a year;  and I have 500000 bahts in bank 2 months before , and more than 400000 bahts the rest of year with combo method 

but I have read that I need to have a deposit every month ; is it true ? 

thanks especially for Ubon joe who knows everything, but others can answer, too, of course

With the combo-method you are like the rest of us, besides the "the famous 4".. Same rules as before.... Luckely..

I don't believe the latest rules change anything if you still use the Embassy letter. 

There was some posting of Phuket not accepting any Embassy letters, not sure if that still stands though. Also some IOs require to see the supporting paperwork and want it to look like a pension. We have to cater to the whims of our own immigration office. 

 

The deposit every month into a Thai bank is required for non-Embassy letter proof of income for retirement and marriage extensions.
