frodo77 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Or get a proof of income letter from your embassy and not worry about money in a thai bank That's what I have been doing. However the Canadian dollar is heading down at the moment, so I am being pro-active just in case it drops below my income requirement method. Its at 24.75 today, but when it reaches 22 I will have to do the combo method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Since is not your first extension some offices will want it to be in the bank for 3 months. Others that go by the written rules will not require any seasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vague memory of someone saying that the deposit for the combo method doesn't need to be matured, but please check carefully. Maybe ubonjoe will know Good grief -- he's psychic!

The Officer said money in bank for 2 months first time and 3 months thereafter. I did make the point that it was for combination. It seems that more offices are going down this route than before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be best to check with them to see what their current policy is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodo77 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I will visit Immigration on Friday 22nd, and ask the big boss Captain for clarification. Hopefully he/she will speak to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others that go by the written rules will not require any seasoning. My office is Jomtien. Here is a report from last October confirming that Jomtien wanted the funds seasoned when using the combination method. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/862696-chonburi-immigration-extension/ The orders/rules have been changed across the country. Although there still seems to be inconsistency more often than not the bank deposit needs to be seasoned for the 2/3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same requirements have been in the last 2 police orders. It is only local policy at some offices. Also that post is not a good example to use in relation to what the OP will have. That person only had 300k baht of income and 500k baht in the bank. The OP will only need a small amount in the bank tor reach the 800k baht total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
