What is acceptable for evidence of the monthly 65k THB bank deposits originating from US Social Security with a Non O Retirement? I’ll have 18+ months of deposits on my next extension of stay.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To secure a Non O Retirement visa extension in Thailand using a monthly income of 65,000 THB from US Social Security, you must provide evidence of 12 consecutive months of deposits showing as international transfers. Required documentation includes: a one-year bank statement illustrating the monthly transfers (not older than 7 days at the time of application), a photocopy of your bankbook covering the previous year, and a current bank statement demonstrating your account balance. Additionally, ensure that the funds are consistently deposited in a Thai bank account, and maintain sufficient funds to adhere to the conditions of your previous visa extension.

12 consecutive months

No, do not need to substantiated present balance. 12 months of 65k ( FTT ) with bank copies, signed is all.

There is provision for a lesser amount if Savings balance is maintained at level where mo. deposits and svg's total 800k, just haven't seen it used.

Always insure your monthly is sufficient to cover exch rate variance.

Presumably your last extension was obtained using banked

0 baht. Should that be the case then

0baht should have remained in your account for three months after application and should not have dropped below

0 baht for the rest of the year. That is to satisfy the terms of last years extension before changing to the monthly income method which must show as international transfers on your statements or FTT.

The 65k thb is transferred via Direct Deposit from the US Social Security Administration into my BK Bank account. I'll have 18 consecutive months of these direct deposits for my Non O Retirement extension of stay next Feb 2025.

go to the main Bangkok Bank branch on Silom road. On the first floor go all the way to the right with your bank book and passport, and ask them for the last 12 months summary of your deposits. This takes a few days. After you get this from them then go to the second floor, and the first door on the right, and ask them for the detailed deposits every month for those 12 months. This also takes a few days. Get the letter from them stating it is your account, and you are set to go. Just remember immigration will not accept them if they are more than seven days old. That is how I've been doing it for the last six years with Bangkok Bank in Bangkok

You’ll need 12 consecutive months of deposits of 65k+ showing as a foreign transfer

To get a Non O one year extension using THB 65,000 monthly, you will need a one year nank statement showing the monthly transfers as international transfer (depending on the immigration office cannot be more than 7 days old). You will also need a photocopy of your bankbook for the previous year. Lastly, you will need a current day bank statement showing current balance. Good luck.

I can't seem to find the right section. The only one that looked like the correct one was 22 Retirement. The PDF seems to be for O-A only. What am I missing to?

@Glenn ****
ok The Non-Immigrant O Visa is a single entry visa that is valid for 90 days from the date of issue and applied outside of Thailand. As far as I know its a precussor to the OA 12 month visa. During this time
@Jeffrey ******
needs to maintain 800k in bank and also transfer 65k into his bank every month for 12 months for the 12 month extension approva by immigrationl.
