If I send 80k a month for 12 months from UK to k bank will a statement from k bank be accepted by immigration as the income from abroad over 65k for extension of retirement visa.
Answer summary
The question pertains to whether sending 80,000 THB per month for a year to a K Bank account will qualify as income from abroad for a retirement visa extension in Thailand. It was clarified that for the first annual extension, certified income from the embassy or a minimum balance of 800,000 THB in a Thai account is required, despite having a track record of monthly transfers. For second-year extensions, bank statements may suffice, but acceptance can vary by immigration office. It is advisable to verify requirements with the specific immigration office handling the application.

You need to check with the immigration office that you are applying for your extension some offices need affidavit from embassy to match your 12 mth statements

If you send 80k a month, then by month 10 you will have the required 800k in your Thai bank. 2 months after that you can apply for 12 month extension.

That won't work because it shows 2 months with nothing getting transferred

If its your second extension then maybe. Depends on office. My Bangkok Bank statements printed from app were accepted along with my home bank account statements. Neither were stamped by the bank.

Only for the 2nd year extension. The first annual extension must be done through embassy certified income or 800,000 in your Thai bank account. There are no other options, even if you've been sending money into your Thai account for 10 years, it won't matter. The first extension cannot use monthly transfers.
