Will Immigration accept my retirement visa extension with one month showing a local transfer instead of foreign?
Hi is anyone getting a retirement visa extension using transfer from abroad of over ฿ 65,000 per month. I transfer over ฿80,000 every month and last November Transfer Wise had an issue and it showed ฿ 95,000 as a Local Transfer instead of Foreign Transfer. Will Immigration accept if I show them twelve months statements of over ฿ 80,000 if one month is showing the wrong category?
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the acceptance of a retirement visa extension by Thai immigration, despite having one month where their foreign transfer was incorrectly labeled as a local transfer. They transfer more than the required amount monthly and want to know if providing twelve months of bank statements showing consistent deposits would suffice.

If the transfer in November was an overseas transfer but is simply designated wrongly in your bank account you should be able to get an FET form from your bank showing it was in fact an overseas transfer. Wise has a section on FET forms in their FAQs

Or you can try to contact Wise to see if they can correct your record. BUT how to deal with Wise is out of this group's scope.

I contacted Wise in November along with many others which is why the problem was resolved. They either could not or would not retrospectively change anything.Robert *******
The rule is crystal clear. a minimum of 12 months foreign deposits into a Thai Bank account on your name of minimum 65.000 Thb.
That you have more than the minimum is good, but does not get you of the hook for having 11 months. BUT you can go to your local Immigration office and ask the officer if he accept this one time mistake.
