Hi, my wife is getting a dissability pension from Norway, but thanks to the Euro, the Norwegian krown also dropped.

Now she has to renew her retirement visa for the third time, and the letter from the embassy shows that she gets more krowns per year than last year, but due to the exchange rate she only gets 756.360 THB.

What to do now?

Thanks

Are you on a retirement extension of stay? She would need no income to be your dependent for one year extensions in that case.

The alternative is a 50k account in a local bank in her name alone to put with the income letter to be 800k or more.

No, She is on a retirement extension of stay, we are not legally married and her income letter says that she gets approximately THB 756.360. like 151.272 NOK

Last year it was NOK 143.568 app. THB 832.694

So she's getting more in order to recieve less.

Does immigration understand that?

Immigration does not have to understand that. She has the option to combine income and bank account as I stated if she wants to continue using retirement extensions of stay. The requirement will be 800k total.

And this 50 k baht must be transferred from abroad ? I think so.

You just need to show the money in the bank, not that it was transferred from abroad. That is not a requirement.

(1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM);

(2) The applicant is 50 years of age or over;

(3) Proof of income of not less than Baht 65,000 per month; or

(4) Account deposit with a bank in Thailand of not less than

800,000 Baht as shown in the bank account for the past 3 months at the filing date of the application. For the first year, the applicant should have that amount in his bank account for not less than 60 days or

(5) Annual income plus bank account deposit totaling not less

than Baht 800,000 as of the filing date of application

The top up in the bank will do.

How are you getting on Raybona? Prefer Thailand to Goa?
