Answer summary
The requirements for proving monthly income when applying for Thai O, OA, or OX visas can vary depending on the type of visa and the applicant's country of origin. Generally, applicants may need to show proof of income from their home bank when applying outside Thailand but must provide evidence of funds in a Thai bank account when extending the visa in Thailand. Specific requirements can differ by consulate, and for Canadians, income verification can sometimes be obtained through their bank or by providing bank statements. For Australian applicants, it's noted that the OX visa can be issued without needing to transfer funds to Thailand, although this may not apply universally.

If you're Australian, the OX is the best visa. Stamped in for five years and don't have to transfer any money to Thailand.

Yep, but this is not specific to Australia. I emphasised Australians can get the 5 year entry stamp without transferring any money to ThailandBobby ********
@Iris **********
Perhaps. That's not what the embassy website states, but you might have inside information that I'm not aware of, so I won't dispute it

@Andre ********
I only mentioned it for the benefit of Australians, as the Sydney consulate is the only place where you can get the OX without transferring money to Thailand. If you're not Australian, don't even bother about itBobby ********

If you're Canadian, don't worry about it. It's only Australians can do thisAndre *********
@Bobby *******
I think it’s not true what you are talking about. The rules about financial requirements just like this:(a) Applicants must have money deposited in Thai bank located in Thailand with the amount of not less than 3 million Baht; or
(b) Applicants must have money deposited in Thai bank located in Thailand with the amount of not less than 1.8 million Baht and have income with the amount of not less than 1.2 million Baht per year. Once the applicants enter Thailand, they must have accumulated money deposited in Thai bank located in Thailand not less than 3 million Baht within 1 year.
The money in (a) and (b) must be kept in bank account at least 1 year before withdrawing and, within another next year, the money must be left in the account with the amount of not less than 1.5 million Baht and can only be spent in Thailand.

OP@Bobby *******
we are Canadian...and according to the Thai consulate here you need either the bank deposit OR proof of your monthly income meets their requirements

For the Non O application, some CAD banks will issue an income or balance verification letter. Ours didn't, so we just provided copies of our bank statements for the prior 3 months with the required balance. When going for the extension in Thailand, for Canadians, take your proof of income statement to the embassy or consulate and they will provide you with an affidavit letter that you take to immigration. You get print your proof of income from the CRA website.

Depends which country you are from…

It depends on which visa. You just listed 3 visas that all have different requirements.
Also each consulate has different requirements.
Generally if you are applying outside of Thailand, you can show the money in your home account.
But when you go for the extension in Thailand, you'd need to show the money in a Thai bank account. If the extension allows monthly income then your embassy has to be one that will certify your income, if they don't then you'll need to show previous 12 months of transfer into Thai bank account from abroad every month.
