I am currently on a non-O retirement visa. I started with the 800,000 in my Thai bank but have been making deposits of 65,000 or more every month without missing any month for a year now. My visa will need to be renewed in 90 days as I just did my 90 day reporting yesterday. Can I use the money in the bank and go below the 400,000 and switch to the required monthly deposits from my US bank when I apply for another year extension without an affidavit of proof of income? Hopefully I used the correct terminology.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is on a Non-O retirement visa and is inquiring whether they can switch from the bank deposit method (initially maintaining 800,000 THB) to using monthly income deposits (65,000 THB) for their upcoming visa extension, without needing an affidavit of proof of income. Responses clarify that while they need to keep the 800,000 THB until after the next extension, they are allowed to switch to the monthly income method for the renewal. However, they must ensure the necessary deposits are made for twelve months and that they meet the specific requirements set by the immigration office.
