Hi everyone, just an update on my extension of stay for over 50 visa on Samui using the combination of funds method.
Just putting it here as I completed it 2hrs ago and details may or may not be the same as other immigration offices.
Had to get 14 months of "international transfer statement" (pension) from the bank, along with a statement of funds held in my account.
They looked for the lowest transfer amount and multiplied that figure by 12.
It took a long time as opposed to having the full 800k in the bank, almost 6 days. They said they don't like using this method and prefer for the applicant to have the 800k in the account.
I said I'm not bringing money over while rate is so low, so want to do it this way, hence the delay I guess. Apart from that, it was all the normal paperwork, photos, home, medical etc.
No mention of insurance requirements, no mention of TM30.
As I said, only posting as information. đź‘Ť
