For the past two years, I've kept 800,000 baht in a Thai Bank to meet the visa financial requirement. If I decide to use my US social security income to fullfill the requirement instead of the bank account, what documentation is needed for Immigration?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To use your US Social Security income for financial proof for your Thai visa extension, you need to transfer at least 65,000 baht monthly to your Thai bank account for 12 consecutive months. Documentation from the US embassy is no longer available for affidavits of income, necessitating the direct transfer method. You must maintain your current Thai bank balance (800,000 or 400,000 baht) while switching to this new proof method.
