Will Hua Hin immigration accept my early pension payment for visa extension?

Thai Visa Visa Extension Monthly Income Method Hua Hin Immigration Pension Transfer Visa Regulations Financial Evidence for Visa

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello Thai Visa gurus and thanks in advance for your replies.

 I  use the monthly 65,000 baht method for my annual extensions of stay. 

The money is transferred directly from my pension provider to my Thai bank account, usually on the 4th or 5th of each month.  

This month it arrived early (today 30th). As a result,  I am likely to have 2 payments made in January (5th and 30th) and potentially none in February. 

 Do you think Hua Hin immigration will accept the 12 transfers over the 12 month period, or will one being a few days early mean I  have a problem?

I realise I  can ask at immigration, but thought someone might have knowledge/experience of this situation. 

Thanks again.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about the acceptance of their visa extension application, as they typically rely on a monthly pension deposit method of 65,000 baht. This month, their transfer arrived early, leading to a potential issue with having two payments within January and none scheduled for February. Several comments suggest that immigration may not accept averaging and strongly recommend ensuring consistent monthly deposits to avoid issues with visa extensions.

Just depends on immigration, the rule is payments every month.

I'd be very surprised if they did. Find another 65k baht from somewhere and transfer it in yourself next week. Might be an idea to change your transfers to mid month going forward if you can

You must have a transfer every month without fail.

Best advice transfer yourself in Feb.

Averaging doesn't count.

Good luck. And this is the reason I have it deposited to my American bank so I can ensure I have a deposit each and every month so I can control when it goes to my Thai bank. I hope Immigration will help you out.

Can I use multiple transfers to meet the 65k per month income requirement for my Non-O retirement visa renewal?
