Hi I have a non o visa for 90 days, based on retirement. I am going to do an extension soon. I have transferred the 800000 BAHT,from the UK, two months ago. I tried to get a Credit advice statement from Kasikorn bank. They gave me one but some of the transfers I did with Remitly  were not included. Anyone any ideas what I can do. Is it possible to take transfer receipts from the UK to prove they are foreign payments

Answer summary

The user has a Non-O visa based on retirement and is seeking to extend it. They transferred 800,000 Baht from the UK but some transfers were not included in the bank's credit advice statement. Other users clarified that for the extension, proof of the funds being from abroad is not necessary if the 800,000 Baht is already in the Thai bank account. They also mentioned alternative methods to ensure transactions appear as local payments.

When you pay in put the reason is for buying a property 😏

Why?

if you transfer your money with Wise they send the transfer to a Thai bank then the Thai bank transfers the money to your account, so it comes up as a local payment. But if you say it’s for buying a property it comes up as a foreign transaction.

if you entered Thailand on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, you don't have to prove that the 800,000 THB deposit came from abroad, for the application to the 12-months Extension of the Stay Permit. This proof is only needed when you apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa on Immigration inside Thailand, after you entered visa-exempt or on a tourist visa. This process would be called "change of visa type". You probably mixed up these two different approaches to the Extension

I’m completely new here, but don’t you just need to show your bank statement giving the amount required ?

not quite. You need a letter from the bank confirming it's your account with enough money in it, bank statements and an updated copy of your bank book

You don't need to prove foreign payments if you are applying for an extension using the 800k baht method
