I read a previous post about the 800,000 Baht applying for a yearly extension of stay based on being over 50 (retirement) using banked money but the commenting was turned off.
Do you need to prove that the 800,000 Baht was sent to Thailand from a foreign country in the original currency as is the case for purchasing condos in foreign name? I don’t see anything about this on the Thai immigration site. If this is a requirement can someone show me where this requirement is documented.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The question pertains to the requirement of proving the origin of the 800,000 Baht when applying for a yearly extension of stay in Thailand based on retirement (over 50 years old). Comments indicate that there is typically no proof of origin needed for this extension, but there may be requirements if applying for a yearly extension from a 90-day Non-O visa.
