Does the bank need to certify that the funds for an extension in Thailand came from outside the country?

@Roger *******

, this is like throwing a spanner in works BUT

To be completely honest, I think you should take

@Rob***

's EXCELLENT advice and go to the thai consulate in Savannakhet Lao and get a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type O visa based on marriage for 5000baht.

You can do that without the need to show ANY proof of funds (because that consulate doesn't require it).

On that visa you will get stamped in for 90 days, then when that runs down you go to a border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country and stamp right back into thailand for a new 90 day stamp.

On that one year visa you can get 15 months of stay in country (in 90 day increments).

Now the BIG question, how many days do you have left on your current stamp?

You said you already have the 90 day Non-O visa.

What was the reason you used to get that Non-O visa

Where did you get it?

AND

most importantly is there anything written on it in Thai?

IF you are using banked money for a marriage extension you need to have 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months BEFORE you apply for your yearly extension. For banked money method there is no proof that the funds came from overseas.

IF you are using monthly income you need to transfer IN to the country from overseas into a thai bank account a minimum of 40K baht per month EACH month for the preceding 12 months BEFORE you apply for your extension of stay. Because you come from a country whose consulate no longer issues income affidavits your only option if you want to use the monthly income method is overseas transfers and EVERY transfer has to come from abroad.

Are you wanting to get a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai or based on being over 50 ? Answer that first.

At the moment you can not meet the financial requirements for the 1 year Extension of Stay, alternative is a visit to Savannakhet where you can get the 1 year Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on marriage without financial requirements, cost of visa 5.000 Thb

Now for the yearly extension of stay (AFTER you have a Non-O visa that starts the process) you do NOT need to show the money originated from overseas, ONLY that it was put in your account for the requisite seasoning period before you apply for your extension

Okay, let's sort this out right now, IF you are applying for the 90 day Non-O VISA inside the country at Bangkok Immigration office you need to show the 800K baht for a Non-O based on retirement or the 400K baht for a Non-O based on marriage came in from overseas.

You MUST show it came from overseas there is no lee-way on that at all. It CANNOT come from inside the country

Not, regardless of marriage or retired. You can deposit to account using any method. I know someone, who bring cash in backpack, declared at customs then deposit. And someone, who withdraw from his international ATM card then deposit right away in bank office

Which lump sum for which visa or for which Extension of Stay?

You mean the 800,000 baht? No.
