Can I use the 400,000 baht required for a 12-month visa extension while it's under consideration?

Ken, it's SO much easier to get an affidavit from the British Consulate stating that you have an annual income of ฿400,000. You only need to include some kind of evidence with your request, such as copies of your last year's bank statements or a pension letter or audited accounts or tax returns. It costs £54 and is done by post. it takes about 2 weeks to get the letter back, which you then present to the immigration authorities as part of your application for extension. Start the process about a month before your visa extension is due and it's usually fairly straight-forward.

By mistaken account my wife took 3000

i put it back 2 hours later but as 3000 was missing for 2 hours we had to restart all process ....

OKay, hang about,

@K**

, clearly stated the officer said "it would not be advisable to use" :/

That is NOT them comin' out and stating you can't use it.

I still say the real rule is that the money must be seasoned the 2 months on the day you submit your application ONLY.

As it always do Ken

Yes keep the money in the bank until you get your 12 month extension I always done that . I have never had an issue .I have done it 4 times this August will be 5

So immigration has access to everyone's Thai bank accounts 😉

Thanks for reporting back Ken. At least now you have proper advice rather than all of us speculating and arguing lol

Thanks Ken

You heard it here first
