combination method o-a extension

[rodknock]

you have spoke a lot about 800,000.00 deposit and 400,000.00 for marriage extension of stay.

how and what do you need to use the combination method of savings and income equaling 800,000.00 per year?

example, if i have 200,000.00 seasoned in a savings account would i only need to show income per month of 50,000.00?

that would equal 800,000.00 per year.

That is how the current rules work. However, it is still not clear how the new rules work as there are different interpretations coming from immigration.

 

It is possible that the minimum cash required in the bank is 400K, and unlike the current rules a minimum bank balance might need to be maintained during the whole year of the permission to stay.

 

If you’re planning to apply anytime soon it would be best to ask at your local immigration office.

To start with no 1................ What nationality are you.. Different countries different rules so far. USA/UK/Australia and Denmark have one set opf rules and the majority have another rules when it comes to prove income and therefore the combo-method...

I recently picked up a copy of requirements for retirement and marriage extensions from Phetchabun Immigration. For the combo method retirement they are saying a minimum of 400K Baht to be kept in your Thai bank account all year round. They use an example of 12 x 40K pension = 480K Baht, and though you would only have 320K Baht balance, you must have minimum of 400K Baht in your Thai bank account. 

What is more worrying they also mention no monthly income method into a Thai bank account for marriage or retirement extensions. It's 400K or 800K funds, or embassy letters saying you earn 65/40K per month. 

I will refrain from saying what I think about the way they are interpretating the new requirements.

You need to ask your local immigration office about the combination method.  Some offices will make it near impossible to do or refuse the combo method altogether.   Some offices will only offer the combo method to those with an Embassy income verification letter or a government pension letter.  

 

Some offices will have one rule in 2019 and a different rule in 2020.
