Can I transfer 65,000 baht via multiple international transactions for my Non-O visa extension in Thailand?
Hi,
My 12 month Non-O Immigrant (retirement) visa extension commences next week and obviously expires early July 2025 - based on the 800,000 baht international bank-to-bank transfer eligibility requirement.
Towards the end of the 12 month period I plan to convert to the 65,000 minimum baht method. I am currently transferring 65,000+ baht bank-to-bank from my Australian bank account into my K-bank account here in Chiang Mai.
The 65,000+ baht being transferred currently stands at 2 transactions each month and has been for sometime. Would this be acceptable to Immigration here in Chiang Mai, or does the international transfer have to be the 1 transaction each and every month for that minimum amount of 65,000 baht?
TIA
Regards!
Graham

Answer summary
The regulation stipulates a minimum transfer of 65,000 baht per month for the Non-O visa extension, and multiple transfers aggregating to this amount should be acceptable. It's crucial to ensure that the funds are traceable as international transfers, and checking with the local immigration office regarding their specific requirements is advisable.

It can be more than one transfer, just make sure you have the magic EFT on your transfers. A pain in the what if you don't.

I used to get 2 monthly payments from Australia in CM. Not a problem (proving it came from overseas via Wise was, however)

The regulation is "no less than 65,000 baht per month". So basically you should be fine if you get total 65K baht transferred internationally every month. But best is check how your local immigration office treats those.
Be sure you keep current banked funds following requirements until you get next extension approved.
