Can I apply for my extension using an affidavit from the Irish embassy for my pension?
I have an Irish passport and my embassy still supplies affidavit for certifying pensions, my pensions are well over 65,000 baht per month, how does this affect me in the immigration process ,can I apply for my extension as soon as I get the affidavit from the Irish embassy?
I am here on a non O and managed to open a bank account yesterday with Kasikorn just for ease of finances in Thailand ,scan for payment is one reason,so easy to pay with a Thai account

Answer summary
The user, holding an Irish passport, inquires about the implications of having an affidavit from the Irish embassy that certifies their pension, which exceeds 65,000 baht monthly, on their immigration process in Thailand. They wonder if they can apply for their extension as soon as they receive the affidavit. Comments from other users confirm that using the affidavit should suffice for the extension but advise that some immigration offices may request additional documents, such as proof of bank statements or paperwork submitted for the affidavit. It is recommended to apply for the extension about one month before the current visa expires.

some ( not all of them) Immigrations have started to want to see that you transfer yourself some living expenses every month, so don't be surprised if you are asked to show your bankbook along with the legalized by your embassy pension affidavit. In this case it is however not needed that you send yourself the minimum of 65,000 THB every month - it can be less than that

You should be fine using the affidavit from your embassy but some immigration offices also want to see the paperwork you supplied to your embassy to obtain the affidavit so hang onto it

I use a Affidavit as well, go for your exstenion 1 month before it runs out.
