For a 1 year extension of stay using the income method, then this financial evidence has to be from a Thai bank account by way of 12 x 40K monthly overseas transfers Incorrect

My reply was to a member enquiring about using the income method. He isn't employed or working, so his only option would be to use the 40K monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank account, OR, an Embassy Income letter (subject to his nationality) for the 1-year extension.
You mentioned income from within Thailand was an alternative method, which I acknowledged, adding it was by means of a tax receipt and payslips, however in this instance it wasn't applicable.

I think you can use local income to satisfy the 40k per month too, it does not have to come from overseas, (same as if you get an in-country Non-O based on marriage, that money does not have to have come from overseas). Correct

Already acknowledged, you can use income from within Thailand for the 1 year extension of stay.

However, for the in Country Non O application, you are totally incorrect regarding the income method.

Only an Embassy Income letter is acceptable in this instance. Immigration do not accept either income from within Thailand, or 40K monthly overseas transfers.

Att @bigt3116

 

Financial requirements acceptable to Immigration for an in Country application for the Non O based on Thai spouse.

Note 7.1 - Income method.
Note 7.2 - Funds in the bank method.

This info is for changing type of visa inside Thailand. Has nothing to do with any e-visa applied for outside Thailand.

You can use income over 40K / mo from a job in Thailand with work-permit, but you will need to provide a stack of Thai company documents - basically, the same as would be needed for a Non-B Visa - a big PITA.  Then, if you go for the 1-year extension - do it all over again. 

 

"Self employment" would need to be a Thai company - otherwise back to the 12-months of transfers to prove the income (edit: IF your imm-office will accept them).

The OP asked a simple question.

All posts regarding extensions from non O are off topic. 

 

As are posts about getting a Non-O in country, maybe they should be deleted too?

does anyone have an actual example of  an airline refusing to board someone going visa exempt but with no onward flight within 60 days?

 

or is it a hypothetical situation, unlikely to occur(?) especially if the return flight is within 90 days?

Plenty of reports of it

I have seen few reports of folk being issued boarding pass with return flight past the (previously) 30 day visa exempt entry. 

A signing of a waiver sometimes asked for by supervisor.

In any event from the OP......

 

"think maybe best if I go for the Non O. The thought of being knocked back (however  unlikely) at Heathrow, wife in tears etc., is too much of a worry."  

 

Seems that the OP is not interested in possibility of drama.

Perhaps for that reason he is leaning to Non O eVisa over visa exempt (that also requires extension at immigration)
