Can I use cash forex for my first extension of the ME OA (R) Visa despite having only 11 months of bank statements?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I am 71 years old and on ME OA (R) Visa issued in South Africa. Valid until 27 Feb 2025. I need to do first one year extension in Feb 2025. I want to use the Income method but my problem is that I only managed to open Bank Account in April.

(We arrived in March) I do have proof of arriving with Forex in excess of Baht 100 k cash for March but will only have bank statements for 11 months to prove 65k income. Will immigration accept the cash forex as income for March to meet the 12 month requirement?

If it is an option could I use a combination Income plus 400k bank

balance ?

We are in Lamai Koh Samui

Thanks folks.
