Can I switch from 800K to 65K monthly deposits for my visa renewal in Thailand?

If you are going to chat to an agent or immigration, there's also the 17,000 path and keep your money in a decent bank account with interest.

Many do it.

(Just an option)

I tried to do that this year with my marriage visa to free up the 0 THB. I work here and my salary is paid directly into my Thai bank account. I gave them 12 months bank statements plus 12 months payslips they dismissed them and insisted on the 0 THB being in the account.

TIT.

You can have a combination, provided however that your embassy in Thailand provides to you with the supporting letter to verify that this is your monthly income. Please ensure the first three months after granted the latest retirement visa, the deposited amount is remained at least 800k. So, you are qualified to have an extension.

The combination method of banked funds plus international transfers is unheard of these days so if your Immigration Office will accept that you will be very, very lucky. Your only option for this year will be the 800k again or, if appropriate, switch to a marriage extension with your existing 400k.

I think its better just to keep the 800K in your Thai bank account all the time, then it stops all the hassle. I know Onestop Service at the bottom of Soi 6 can do the process for you. His name is Mark and their brilliant. This is what he's text me-

You can use your income method provided. It’s paid directly into a Thai bank account from passive income. You can not use your English. Bank Account is proof to renew the Visa if you wish to use your own ฿800,000 it must be into three months fullfor you to renew it using this method or we can simply take you to the bank and do the funding process for you on the day. Plus bht re-entry permit.

I think it works out about bht total, that's a roundabout about estimate.

Feb 25 till Oct 25 only 9 x 65,000 deposits: you will not be able to use the 65,000 route yet for 2nd extension. 3rd will be fine. You will need 800,000 2 months before October application (and prove you maintained 400,000 during the year + 800,000 for 3 months after 1st year extension)

Bring your bank balance back up to bt800,000 at least two months before October, as you can not change over until you have at least 12 continuous months of transfers. You need your bulk financial method for another year.

12 months statements needed and it's 1 page per month 500 baht total pay. I've changed this method myself this March

First year 800,000 for 12 months from the start date of your retirement permit , not your no 0

Second year 0 for 3 months.And then you can take it down to 400,000 minimum at the same time, you

Need 65,000 every month. Ideally 1 month before your renewal permit date started showing that it's an international transfer for 12 months

3rd year keep putting in 65,000 each month and you can spend everything

You need a full 12 calendar months of transfers of a minimum of 65k baht each and every month before you apply for your next extension. You must also honour the terms of your current extension, so 800k minimum for 3 months after you got the extension and never below 400k for the rest of the year. Sounds like you are going to have to bring your account back up to 800k two full calendar months before applying for your next extension (3 months in some places so check with your immigration office). Don't stop your monthly transfers and you can use them the following year

Its also office specific, best to check with your local office.

You have to do the 65k deposit for 12 months to change over from the 800k method for extension is stay based on retirement and Feb to Oct is not 12 months so the simple answer is ( probably) no
