Can I switch from 800k banked money to monthly transfers for my Non-O extension in Thailand?

@Brett ******

changing from banked money to monthly income is the trickiest one because you have to meet the seasoning requirement the whole year for the previous years banked money extension AND you have to put in the required 12 months of international transfers to qualify for the monthly income method the next year.

So that means you need to keep the 800K baht in the account 3 months after you get your extension AND deposit 65K baht a month in each of those months to begin the 12 months of international deposits for the next extension, and after the 3 months you still need the balance of the banked money to stay above 400K the whole rest of the year until you FINALLY go apply for a new yearly extension using the 12 months of deposits 😕

@Brett ******

, OP doesn't have a 65K thb monthly transfer. He says 40K per month. Basically, yes you can, but you need to talk with your immigration office.

Of course I will definately check beforehand now, after hearing about this possibility. I just don't understand what is there to interpret when there are options A, B and C given. Unless the interpretation is that etc. option C does not exist.

your trying to use a logical approach with immigration however each office has the discretion to interpret the laws ... Which is why some people get frustrated because they go by the book only to be told a different set of requirements at some immigration offices .. and good luck telling the immigration staff that they have it wrong... Better to check beforehand and get the requirements at the local office, in a list from an officer that you can return it to....

, Unfortunately, that is what you need to ask your local immigration office or Thai government, not here.

@Ellie ******

I hear you, but isn't something that is stated in every official document as clearly as this, about the combination method, something that individual immigration office could not walk over with? Good to hear about this now, since I am in progress of moving in and was going to use combination. Wow...

, That is what you need to ask your immigration office, and why we all say you need to get the handout of your local immigration office's specific requirements.
