If you keep in excess of that amount but don't go back and show it. Have you broken any law ?. That is the law. Excess of 800k is OK as 800k is the minimum. If your IO did not ask for proof that you have maintained 800k in your account then you have not broken their rules but it looks like it may be better to get your bank book updated after 3 months from visa renewal to show the >800k, then 3 months after that to show >400k, until it is time to top up back to 800k in preparation for your next renewal.

LenMc Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Do I have to PROVE that the money came from abroad, or does it just have to be there and seasoned enough. E.g. if I bring in some cash, or build up the 800k from other sources, is that okay. I may build it up by using Transferwise, but that shows as an internal transfer (not international transfer).

Yes it has to be shown to have come from abroad. This will be shown as a foreign transfer in your bank book and (I think) you need a letter from the bank confirming that fact.

To apply for a one year extension of stay based upon retirement you do not have to prove the 800k baht came from abroad. To apply for a 90 day non immigrant visa (category O) entry at immigration you do have to prove the 800k baht came from abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid question I know.....but where have I got the notion it must come from abroad? God knows how I ever got a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just misinformation or confusion with applying for a visa at immigration since many people call extensions visas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneeyedJohn Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The monthly income has to come from abroad otherwise it would be too easy just to shuffle money between more than one bank account, giving the appearance of a monthly income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
