thaisabai Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 see my earlier comment regarding this subject: you didn't mention if this is after having used a visa agent for several years, I thought that I now qualified for the "normal way" of getting a retirement extension. I was wrong. Went to Jomtien today with all paperwork necessary (Bank statements (up to date copies), residence statement, updated bank book with copies, bank letter (signed) passport copies (signed), both official TM forms (signed) service was friendly and the problem was explained in detail. Whilst I was under the expression that the 800.000 + have to be in the bank for 3 months prior to the application, I was wrong. they explained to me that this amount had to be in the bank for 1 year (since the date of the last year extension) but can temporarily go down to 400.000, then up again to 800.000, 3 months before the application. I then went to my former visa agent (the one I paid all these years) who was able to fix the problem for a very reasonable amount. I was also told that next year I wouldn't have a problem if the bank account remains at 800.000 (temporarily 400.000) something learned again thaisabai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your embassy will issue a proof of income documents that can be used to prove it. If not you would need 12 months of transfers equal to or greater than 40k baht from abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as usual an office to office thing and as usual officers also vary. Several reports of it having been an issue however can't recall it ever being a deal breaker. More of a warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglekott Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 A question out of curiosity, Must the amount 400,000 or 800,000 be in the same bank account or can you combine several accounts to reach the target? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand hi i think its 1 bank account , sorry i hardly check in here much It can be in couple of accounts. In a situation where someone makes a mistake an accidentally tips below required funds then another account could be used in addition to the one for immigration purposes.
