Combination method: money on the bank combined with pensions to reach to 800000 per year retirementvisum

[lenyronjohan]

Is it still possible in Pattaya Immigration Office to apply for "retirementvisum"  for the first time with showing a combination of money on the bank and pension?

What are the terms and conditions connected to do that?

This is one where you need to discuss with immigration office.

Some offices do not even accept combo method.

Also various offices have their own interpretations as mentioned in this attached thread.

Any combination which totals up to 800,000 THB is, in theory acceptable. But as @DrJack54 points out above, some offices are more accommodating than others.

Jomtien Immigration said I couldn't do it for the non imm O but they were trying to push me to pay for a fix, but is possible for the yearly extensions see image

When applying for the initial Non O visa, there is zero chance of using the combination method unless you can get an income letter from your embassy. If you can get an income letter, check with your local immigration office to see if they will accept the combination for the Non O visa application. Most often, they will not, but some will.

Yes. I made a point of asking at one renewal if my bank book and letter would suffice to do the income method ( as the US embassy et al won’t do an affidavit) and was assured it should be fine.

One year later and the SP office has moved and income method will NOT be accepted without embassy approval. 
The only consistency sometimes seems to be inconsistency.

To my knowledge, you bank deposit cannot be below 400.000 baht.

However, as already said, some immigration offices might not accept the combination method, and you shall not expect to be able to use it at the first extension of stay, as you need to show one year of combined transfers and bank deposit.

G'day 

If you carry a german or Austrian passport joimtien accept the combo-method for the local german consulate would issue income affadavit for your Pension receipt.
