A shock to the system combined with a degree of ignorance.
My initial 12 month Non - O extension of stay (based on being over 50) expires in the first week of July and I intended to apply for a further 12 month extension based on the monthly income method of 12 consecutive months of international transfers (minimum 65,000 baht each month).
The issue is as follows:-
My Kbank branch informed me that my monthly deposits have been transferred from my Australian Credit Union to the Bank of America in Bangkok and therefore the transfer from them to my Kasikorn Bank account is not deemed to be an international transfer. The statements refer them to be automatic transfers (I was aware of that but still thought they counted as an international transfer).
Has anyone had similar issues and is there a way around it. I am meeting with a visa agent here in Chiang Mai on Monday.
