Guys,
Retirement extension. Is there a consensus regarding the origin of the monthly income. Does it have to be "obvious" that the source is "foreign". It's not transparent to me in that the 800k cash in the bank method just needs to be in a Thai bank, why would the monthly income be different?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on the requirements for demonstrating foreign income when applying for a retirement extension in Thailand. There is a consensus that for the monthly income method, the income must be clearly shown to come from abroad, especially if the applicant is from a country whose consulate has ceased issuing income affidavits. Specifically, incoming overseas transfers of at least 65,000 THB per month must be deposited into a Thai bank account in the applicant's name for the preceding 12 months. The transfers must be coded by the Thai bank as foreign, not domestic.
