Good luck to

@L**

in their extension of stay endeavors (y)

he is from the UK, his embassy doesn't make up the affidavit, so he needs his Thai bank give him the letter, i.e. documents which prove 12 months of transfers from abroad into his Thai bank account over a minimum of 40,000 THB every month

Okay, lets sort this out right now

There are THREE basic ways you can meet proof of funds for a yearly extension based on marriage;

1 - you bank 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you APPLY for your new extension (not 2 months before your current stamp runs out)

2 - IF your embassy issues the affidavit of income from abroad notary letter you get that stating you get more than 40K baht a month income from abroad OR if they don't issue it you transfer IN to a thai bank account in your name only a minimum of 40K baht each month EVERY month for the previous 12 months before you apply for your extension

OR

3 - you legally work here with a work permit and show proof that your salary is at least 40K baht a month for a minimum of 3 months before you apply for the extension.

There is no combination method, and if your embassy issues the income affidavit you cannot show proof of funds by monthly transfers you have to use the embassy letter.

Ask your Thai immigration office

You may be able to obtain the one year extension by showing the income and tax payments made during past 12 months.
