As for Chonburi (Pattaya) Immigration Office, they only want to see the deposit is from a foreign transfer, e.g. per bank code on the statement or from Credit Advice if the bank statement does not show it is a foreign source. The actual source of the funds per Immigration rules can be other than from a pension. However, as DrJack54 mentions, each Immigration Office have their own rules. The Pattaya City Expats Club checklist for Pattaya shows the following re using the 65k income method (https://pcec.club/CHECKLISTS-Extensions-of-Stay): Original - Embassy Certification Letter attesting to 65,000 baht in monthly income is required if your Embassy issues such letters. If your Embassy does not certify monthly income (UK, USA, Australia), you will need the following: o Original Bank Passbook showing transactions for 12 months preceding the date of application (on the day of application make a deposit to the account and update the bank passbook) o Photo Copy of Bank Passbook(s) pages showing all the above transactions - the transaction on the date of application can be omitted from the photocopies (*) o Original - Bank Letter - verifying the account in your name only and balance. The letter verifying the account must be dated on the date of application or the day before if your visit is to Immigration before the banks open. o Copy of document showing source of income may be requested by the Immigration Officer (e g., Statement of Pension amount from source (not over 6 months old) The last item in the above list shows they do want to see a document showing the source of funds. In my case, I use a letter I download from the US Office of Personnel Management which shows my current monthly pension amount. I do not know what documents they would require for other sources of income, e.g., investments, rents, etc.
