Very informative and most grateful to know.   Would appreciate thoughts on my situation.

 

I obtained my Retirement extension for this year and it runs from 1 February 2019 to 31 January 2020.

Following obtaining the extension I returned to UK on 10thJanuary 2019 for medical treatment and came back to Thailand on 21st March 2019.

I did NOT have a Thai bank account prior to going to the UK as I was unable to get any bank to open one for me- they all wanted a work permit and at 80 plus I was NOT in a position to show one.  For interest I transferred money as required to my Thai wife's account.

 

On returning to Thailand went to a branch of  Bangkok Bank and to my total surprise they opened a savings account there and then, no questions asked whereas before I was met by complete refusal.

 

I will go the 65k route for my extension in 2020 and the first deposit shown in the new account is the 25th March 2019- shown as a FTT deposit.

 

My question is:  When I go to Immigration in late January 2020 the account will show deposits monthly around the 25th each months  for 11 months and not 12.  Note I was not in Thailand for the complete month of  February 2019.

 

Any thoughts whether this will be accepted?

 

If there is something I have not included please say.

 

Many thanks

Having 11 months of transfers when you apply in January should be accepted since the new rules were not formally announced until January of this year.

Thank you Ubonjoe

Mis spelling

I am sure UJ is right but some IOs might expect 12 deposits from February 2019 to January 2020.

I transferred the month I was granted the extension in January. February I transfered again into BB. IRS direct deposit in BB NYC effective in March. I did this because I was told the quarterly transfers were no no longer acceptable. Personally I think you should have an additional transfer for the missing month and believe that is more acceptable.
