, the account must be in your name only, and they do not care what the name on the foreign account the money is coming in from each month into your account is. The most common that people use is having your pension sent directly to your Thai bank account, each month, or in some cases using a monthly SWIFT international transfer, and again directly into your Thai account. It can not be a joint account, in both you and your wife's name. Some immigration officers have allowed this, but only if double the required amount comes in each month, but not every immigration allows this. Also, it can not be bt30k one month, and bt50k the next, like it used to be. It must be bt40k+ every month.
