Need to confirm process for getting my FIRST one year extension after entering on a 

non-o 90 day e-visa obtained in my country. I have a Thai bank account and will have 12 months of 65,000 THB entered monthly into the account from outside Thailand. 

Hear that this will not be accepted for the first year extension but must have the 800,000 THB for the required 2mo-3mo deposit. 

Please advise. Thanks

Answer summary

To obtain your first one-year extension on a Non-O visa after entering Thailand, you'll need to meet specific financial requirements. You can either provide certified proof of monthly income from your embassy or maintain a minimum of 800,000 THB in your Thai bank account for at least two months prior to your application. It's advised to confirm details with your local immigration office, as requirements may vary. Additionally, to meet the 800,000 THB requirement, consider depositing additional funds into your account if needed.

Just put extra THB into your account to get over 800K for 2months as 12 x 65K is short 20K

No,not plenty. Australia stopped issue income letters 2019 January 1. But my comment was about Europe which I guess you don't know much about when it comes to embassies and consulates.

Correct, there are only 2 financial proofs you can use for the FIRST 1-year extension.

1) embassy certified proof of monthly income

2) proof of 800,000 baht in your Thai bank account

In order to use #2, the money must be in your account for 2 full months already at the time you apply for the extension.

For full details, you need to go to your immigration office, and ask them for their handout for a retirement extension. That will have the specific requirements for your immigration office as they vary from office to office.

It doesn't hurt to ask if you can use monthly transfers, but I've yet to see someone able to do that.

thanks Brandon. My embassy is same as yours from your info. I am with Bangkok Bank for about a year and of course it is frozen without notice (no agent, signed for my tax # and my name on phone). I have their new requirement from my lady who met with them.

Still putting in 65,000 in case rules change on an odd month during a full moon.

Plan: 90 day non-o here.

Open different bank - they still will not open to use until I have one year retirement visa. Transfer 800k to new bank and season two months.

Get one year extension with all required docs.

I Think this will work.
