Visa extension based on income

[kensisaket]

Based on a discussion after a round of golf today I realized that I will have to make a border run to extend my visa.  I did an extension based on income last year.  I have 2 direct deposits from the U.S. govt going directly into my account here.  My military retirement (paid on the 1st of each month); and, my social security (paid on the 3rd).  In the U.S. if the 1st day of the month falls on a weekend they pay on the Friday preceding that weekend.  That means that there may be one or 2 times a year where 3 deposits are made in one month with the following month only having a single deposit.  That wasn't a problem last year.  My social security payment exceeded the 65k requirement. Nothing has changed as far as the amount being transferred into my Bkk bank account.  What I did not realize (not too smart on my part) is with the nearly 5 baht drop in the exchange rate, that social security income has dropped just below the 65k required. The reason I am posting this is that it's pretty much a sure thing that immigration will not accept the fact that one of the 3 deposits made the previous month was actually deposited early; because, of the 1st day of the week/weekend pre-payment.  I'm making a 90 day visit to immigration next week; and, will run it by them. Not holding my breathe.

I think if you have several transfers that show the 1st of the month the majority of times they will accept it.

Perhaps get a bank statement from the bank to make it easier for immigration to see rather than you bank book.

When I applied for my extension based upon marriage in August I had 2 payments in the August of 2018 due to September 3rd being labor day and they did not even mention it.

I did have a bank statement last year.  The lady at Sisaket Immigration went thru that report line by line. That level of scrutinization makes me think it's going to be an issue come June when I try to renew my visa.  I plan to ask the question before then. Hopefully, I will have the same outcome you did.

Just get your bank to list all the international deposits in their letter. Don't rely on a bank statement as this will show all transactions. Worked with Jomtien!
