TLDR : Answer Summary
A user successfully extended their visa by one year based on raising a Thai child in Ubon Ratchathani, without any complications during the application process. They mentioned that the immigration office only inquired about their foreign income and interviewed their wife regarding the usage of funds. It was noted that while this method worked for them, not all immigration offices may accept income verification through transfers from abroad. Additionally, they were advised to update their bankbook monthly and properly document their financial transfers for future applications.

My wife just reminded me something I forgot to mention. Immigration said I must update my bankbook every month after I make the qualifying transfer to do this method again. Plus when getting bank statements must highlight the transfers and add them all together.
ATTN MEMBERS this post is about an extension based on raising a thai child from the Ubon Ratchathani immigration office. Keep in mind not all offices allow marriage or raising thai child extensions using monthly income by transfer from overseas method.. SOME just won't do it
