My U.S. Social Security is direct deposited to my Bangkok bank savings account, with this notation....

"upload direct deposit / credit FEDI B2B"

AI indictates that is acceptable to Thailand Immigration. Yes, I know AI cannot be100% trusted, but it also gives many source references I can use to check further. My question to this group: is anyone else using U.S. Social Security direct deposits to a Bangkok Bank account which has a deposit coding acceptable to Immigration for Non-O extensions? I would like to use this for my next extension after having 12 consistent deposits like this.

More info from AI:

"Upload direct deposit / credit FEDI B2B" on your Bangkok Bank statement indicates an electronic funds transfer from your US Social Security, received via Thailand's banking network.

FEDI stands for Financial Electronic Data Interchange, Thailand's system for secure business-to-business (B2B) electronic payments and credits between banks. The "upload direct deposit / credit" part describes the incoming ACH-style transfer, where funds are "uploaded" or credited directly into your account without a check.

US Social Security payments to Thai banks like Bangkok Bank use international direct deposit, converted to THB automatically, often labeled this way due to FEDI processing. This is standard for expats and confirms a legitimate, fee-free deposit from the SSA via the US Treasury.

Bangkok Bank categorizes foreign electronic credits as FEDI B2B to distinguish them from domestic transfers or cash deposits, aiding in transaction tracking and compliance.

The "upload direct deposit / credit FEDI B2B" notation on Bangkok Bank statements is widely accepted by Thai immigration as proof of an international income source for retirement visas like the O-A or O-X.

Expats confirm FEDI B2B entries from US Social Security satisfy this, as they denote electronic foreign transfers via Thailand's interbank system, distinguishing them from local income.

Forums and US Embassy guidance note that Bangkok Bank statements with FEDI notations routinely pass 90-day reporting and visa extensions, often supplemented by an SSA award letter if requested. No reports indicate rejection due to this format; it's standard for SSA direct deposits to Thai banks.

Are the main Thai banks all alike in their service when it comes to documenting the monthly 65,000 income or the 800,000 from a foreign source, mostly via Wise?

Which banks are known to make it easier or more difficult for the retirement or marriage visa purposes?

Thank you.
