If you have failed the financials per the above posts you could use an agent this time and top up 800k before 2 months before extension date and should be ok for following year

Is that actually legal?

No idea why he bothered with border out/in.

2k max fine. Also why didn't agent deal with the 90 reporting. 

He rang the lawyer several times, before the lawyer blocked his number.
When he rang the office number, he was met with promises of someone calling him back, but they never did.

 

I think he preferred the border run option to bring duty-free booze and cigs back.

Incorrect.

If you used an agent this year, the financials for the next extension would not meet the criteria of keeping 800K for 3 months and subsequently 400K in the account since the last extension.

Understood now.

You didn't have the 800K seasoned for two months prior so used an agent, but for the following extension you were able to provide a 12-month statement showing the 800K in the account for the 3 months after, then > 400K remainder.

I have discussed this with the main lady at CW.

They can look back to the two months prior to last extension.

Not always but can

The immigration officer looks back to the date it was last checked/signed off, that's what they said to me, so could be 12-13 months, i usually go 3 weeks early

A supervisor doesn't even have the authority to approve an extension application based on Thai family that fully meets the criteria, yet you believe they can approve an extension based on retirement that doesn't meet the criteria.   

They changed "policy" to require sending Thai-Family extensions to the district office.  Agent and non-Agent signatures were the same "authority," when I compared with an agent-user's extension-stamp.

Just google 'Thai Immigration officers dismissed for corruption'.

I'm sure they were only using their discretionary powers.   

 

It's OK, until it's not OK.

It's not "ok" if they aren't putting the "correct" % of the agent-envelope money into the pyramid-scheme pipeline.
