In addition to a posting earlier today, about switching from the 800K method to the 65K method, I wonder how this switch works for citizens of countries that still work with the affidavits.

My embassy still legalizes affidavits as proof of income. So I do not need to have monthly 65K transfers to Thailand. I only have to proof 65K income in my country.

So, I suppose that an affidavit, would be sufficient to switch from the 800K to the 65K method? Although I still would have to prove that I didn’t go under the 800K/400K limit during the past 12 months.

Or do I need 2 affidavits, one from a year earlier, and one from the moment that I want to switch? It was never clear to me if those affidavits are statements about past income (last year I earned …) or future income (to declare that your income during the next 12 months will be enough to pay for your stay in Thailand) .

Hello all!

If you've previously renewed your retirement visa based on the 800,000 method, how do you transition to renewing using the 65,000 income method?

Is there a period when it's necessary to have both the 800,000 and the ongoing 65,000 in your Thai bank account?

Thank you!
