ORIGINAL POSTER
I am from US and have been on an O retirement visa with 800000 for several years, and now I want to apply for the 65000 income monthly version. What financial documentation does immigration want? Is a signed statement from Kashikorn showing the deposit for that month enough?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To switch from the O retirement visa requiring banked funds to the monthly income version, you need to maintain 800,000 THB in the bank for 3 months after your extension granted and keep the balance above 400,000 THB for the rest of the year. Additionally, you must transfer at least 65,000 THB each month into a Thai bank account from abroad for the previous 12 months before applying for your next extension. A signed statement showing monthly deposits is not sufficient; you need 12 months of transaction reports with transfers coded as international origin.

In order to switch from banked money method to monthly income method for proof of funds you need to do two things.

First is keep the seasoning terms you agreed to on the current extension you're on based on bank money method. That means you keep 800k in the bank for 3 months after your extension was granted and then never let the balance go below 400k the entire rest of the year until you apply for your following extension.

And while you're doing that.

You need to transfer in a minimum of 65k per month into a thai bank account in your name only from abroad, each month, every month, for the previous 12 months before you apply for your next extension.

You need to have 12 months of transaction detail report and all the transfers need to code as international origin.

You cannot get a yearly extension of State based on monthly income method without 12 months of transfers.
