Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find the document in THAI that shows the combination method (pension + banked money) I've looked, but don't read Thai, so im not much use. 

Tried to renew my extension of stay, over 50, using this method today. Immigration asked if I had another bank account, no, told me I don't have enough money in bank, looked at pension, said not enough. 

Considering that the total pension for last 12 months, plus money in bank today (and many months) equates to 1.45m bt.

They just looked at both, said both don't match, and didn't add together even though the document they hand out, says it's acceptable albeit in poor translation form. 

Sorry to ask as I thought it was sorted. 

All the best,

Terry.

bht transferred into it each month. This should suffice. Your bank will give you a statement. Then any extra in the bank already is also a bonus
