Problems certifying money came from overseas.

Today applied for 12 month extension of stay based on marriage. Now on 90 day visa to visit Thai family, got back from UK September, quarantine etc. Many years have used embassy letter to show UK income enough, last year used SCB 12 month statement and letter, backed up by my UK bank account statement and 12 months of Transferwise statements. Well over 40 K every month,

Problem this year is officer will only look at SCB official statement, want statement from SCB for 12 months certifying that at least 40K came from overseas bank to SCB account. I have used Transferwise for many years. My money goes to Transferwise UK account and Transferwise is sending to Kasikorn bank who forward to my SCB account, so SCB cannot see money from abroad and so will not certify. Went from immigration to SCB direct. So now stuck. Immigration officer said busy this week, come early on Monday for queue and bring SCB certification which I cannot get. So what do I do.

Thinking of writing it all down, from my pension income to my UK bank, Uk bank to Transferwise, Transferwise to SCB via Kasikorn, each transaction with monthly and year totals. maybe translate to Thai??

Also they insisted on all 12 months, which is not a problem for me, but coming in on new 90 day, I thought 2 months would be enough
Summary so far
The user is facing difficulties with Thai immigration regarding the certification of overseas income for a marriage visa extension. Previously, they provided detailed financial documentation including a bank statement from SCB and Transferwise statements, but now immigration requires a specific 12-month certification directly from SCB showing funds transferred from overseas. Unable to obtain this certification as SCB does not recognize the Transferwise transfer trail, they are seeking advice on how to present their income verification to the immigration office.
