Proof of Transfer to Thai Bank Account. Is it required

[taken]

Hi

 

My Non(O) 1 Year visa extension is due based on Thai Marriage in Bangkok.

 

I have already credited funds in my account for more than 3 Months from local sources due to my investments in local stock market. 

 

Is there any new requirement that funds are to be remitted from another country and proof required as well like Remittance receipts etc,.

 

Thanks

Did you show proof that the funds came from investments in the country. That will be needed for them to accept it. Just showing deposits to your account is not enough. They may also want proof that the income was reported to the revenue department.

If showing income from abroad you have to provide proof that they were transferred into the country.

A Thai bashing inflammatory post and a off topic nonsensical post have been removed.

Yep, that right. Belt and braces approach when seeking an extension of stay. If in doubt, go through a visa agent. The cost of peace of mind is invaluable when dealing with any Imm Officer.

My visa agent tells me the funds have to come from my country.

It’s not new. Income has always been required to come from abroad, and you’re required to show proof with bank statements showing the foreign transfers.

You make at least 40,000 baht per month from investments in the Thailand stock market?

Not correct for an extension based upon marriage.

Income earned within the country with proof it was earned legally and the income reported to the revenue department and taxes were paid if required.

I used to have a marriage extension based on my earnings in Thailand.

Actually, I still have 3 old passports, could I be grandfathered paying less or just having 200k in the bank?

There has never been grandfathering for extensions based upon marriage. It is only for continuous extensions of stay based upon retirement applied for in or before October of 1998.

And I wonder why that is? Why do you have to show the money? To prove you can support yourself, okay. But why does it have to be sourced from outside the country as that would appear to be irrelevant? Perhaps those wiser than me can explain.
 

Of course, only aliens have to prove they have that amount.

If you read a few of the posts above, you'd see, for a marriage extension, it doesn't have to be sourced from outside the country.

It is because a non O does not normally allow you to work. I am not sure when it is based on marriage. I believe you can work on a marriage non O? If you earn money in Thailand working, can you use it for visa extension??? As above, if legally with proof, yes!

I would predict most visa agents would tell your the opposite of what you actually have just to get the business ! 

[Lucky dog]

If local money would work you could withdraw and deposit same money back. Less likely if it comes from your home country.

You'd think there would be some sort of "Grandfathering" for those of us married to same woman and living in the same house for 15+ years. We've attended the same temple, buried 5 relatives, attended 12 marriages (for family members) and even witnessed the removal and replacement of the temple alligator because the 1st 1 got too old or something. We've frocked a donen monks and matched 200km in presession along the same road for various ceremonies and 98% of the villagers call me "Uncle", "Grandpa" or by my real name and not "The Farang".

I don’t see the point in making a comment to a month old thread.
