ORIGINAL POSTERI was told that immigration in jomtien is not accepting the 65000 baht a month. Is this true?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires whether Jomtien immigration is currently not accepting the requirement of having 65,000 baht per month for visa purposes. Commenters provided mixed opinions: some have not heard of this issue, while others mentioned acceptance of the amount previously. There was also a discussion regarding an individual’s reliance on information from a friend and a request for confirmation from others in the community.

I hope you do not ask if they accept a donation of 65.000 Thb a month. If your Embassy does not provide you with the income affidavit you can apply for an Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age using the financial requirement of minimum 65.000 Thb of monthly foreign deposits into your Thai bank account for the last 12 months.

@Robert ******
he just used the wrong word.Robert *******
17 years and never noticed that you applied every year for a new (not renew, use tippex and fill in new dates) 1 year Extension of Stay and each year you got a new stamp with in the second line Extension of Stay is permitted up to ../../... There is no mention of visa in that stamp.

i have a retirement visa. Been here for 9 years.Robert *******
There is a memo to have leniency for those people who can not get the income affidavit. But leniency is given by the Immigration Officer, some are more lenient than others, like all people in the world. The only way to find out is to go in time and ask if your banking system is according their rules.

@Garry *******
They are going to ask where you are now. What kind of visa do you have?Garry ********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Robert ******
i was on understanding that if i put *****

a month.Reply to

Not heard that. The only thing they appear to be not accepting is the combination method.
