Will soon submit my request for extension of stay with one year this week, based on the appointment with the IO in Koh Samui (Non-O Retirement). With regards the usual bank paperwork for the thb 800k (held over past 12 months) , has anything changed this year?
I ask so because I just saw a YouTube video stating several retired people were rejected in their extension request by their IO because they reportedly could not prove the 800k originated from sources abroad, whilst this same money was already in their bank for last few years, and during last year extension this was not an issue.
Note 1: the example stated the person had taken some funds over past year and replenished this later to the required 800k, from local sources he held in Thailand.
Note 2: the checklist I received from IO last week does not indicate any different requirements, except I had to agree that they have the right to investigate my data and documents provided.
--> Please your advice on this matter of the 800k (which I have held in my SCB account for 2+ years, and have never taken any of it.
Much thanks.
