What do I need to do to switch from the 65k/month retirement method to the 800,000 Baht deposit method for my visa in Thailand?

Nope, not for the 4 countries (US, UK, Australia and Denmark) where the Embassy stopped giving an Affidavit.

I use the 65k method because I didn`t want to change 800k at about 40 baht to £ and have it sitting doing nothing. I put a post up earlier that explained in Jomtien that the proof of income letter is worthless anyway, they still want to see all the proofs that you were required to produce to get the letter. Admin shut it down so I deleted it, my experience this week could have saved some people a lot of hassle.

Well, Bobby Howard,

I agree that the money, 400k฿ is stuck for the rest of the active year extension. So seven months. But when that's finished you CAN switch back to that 12x 65k฿-plus income for your next year extension. So then it may not go below that 400k for nine months. Ofcourse you have to begin that monthly 65k transfer imediately when you have your active extension on that 800k. This because you have to show 12 months. I still can go on an Affidavit from my Dutch Embassy. Even combination method is still possible for us. No, I will also not use the 800k method, only if it should become mandatory. We Dutch can't even use the 12x 65k or 12x 40k if married income method. Only Affidavit and/or 800k or 400k(if married)

@Bobby *******

it easily saves funds in monthly transfer fees is a great reason.

Well, not FOREVER !! After you used this bankmethod for the whole year, you always can change back to the 12x international transfer of 65k฿-plus method.
