Source of funds for marriage extension - Money in the bank method?

[Crossy]

Pretty dumb question.

 

I'm having to change my funding for my marriage extension due to a change in my work arrangements (I've been using local salary).

 

So, does to 400k have to be tagged as "overseas", I have the $$$ but it was earned locally.

No. Just in for 2 months previous.

No. 

However you have been using income method? 

Continue with the monthly deposits till you switch to money in bank.

... and make sure there is a stamp on the bank letter. The plonkers forgot to stamp it when I did it the last time so I had to run back to the bank

Certainly at Jomtien immigration they don't care where the money was sourced from.

A slightly different opinion than Jack.

Switching from the income method to 400K funds in the bank is no problem. Just 2 months seasoning required.
You will not be asked to provide proof of income, as that income can be spent immediately it's received.
On behalf of a disabled expat that switched from monthly deposits to 800K in a Thai bank account last year, Immigration were only interested that the funds had been in the account for 2 months.

 

If switching from funds in the bank to monthly income deposits, it's different, because the Immigration require funds to remain in the bank after an extension is approved.

All good stuff thanks everyone.

 

My main worry was that they would want to see an international deposit which would mean exporting and re-importing the $$$ from which the Thai government have already had their pound (and a half) of flesh, and them asking for more tax on the imported funds!
