Hi everyone, looking for some advice regarding the Non-O extension based on marriage to a Thai wife in Bangkok.

I’m looking to use the 40,000 baht/month income route rather than the 400,000 baht bank balance.

My income comes from my UK limited company, mainly through dividends, which I transfer into my Thai bank account.

Has anyone successfully used UK dividend/company income to meet the 40k/month requirement in Bangkok Immigration?

If so, what documents did you provide, and did you need an income confirmation/letter from the British Embassy?

I read the Embassy doesn’t give confirmations anymore?

Thanks in advance for any advice or recent experiences.
Answer summary
The user seeks advice on extending a Non-O visa in Bangkok based on marriage to a Thai spouse, specifically using the income verification route of 40,000 baht/month from UK dividends. The comments suggest that the first year's extension cannot be solely based on monthly transfers and that funds must be deposited in the Thai bank account. It is recommended to provide proof of the funds being transferred monthly from a UK bank to a Thai bank without needing income verification from the UK embassy, as they no longer provide such confirmations.

First off, you're not going to get the initial yearly extension based on marriage to a thai national by using monthly income my transfer method.. You will have to bank the money the first year..

For the second year you transfer in a minimum of 40k baht per month, each month, every month, for the previous 12 months before you apply for the next extension. All the transfers have to code in your bank as international origin.

I don't believe the immigration office will care where the funds come from as long as they're from your bank in the UK to your bank in thailand for the minimum amount every month for a year

There is no income confirmation letter you can get from the UK embassy as they stopped verifying income from abroad with notary affidavits back on Jan 1, 2019.
