@Roberto *****

whether you were on a non-o, nonb or something to explain and coincide with the money trail.

@Roberto *****

okay that may also factor into it as you have no previous "visa" history to explain the money.

Go in hopeful but even one error in the statements will kill it.

Retirement extension with income method is possible, usually not on first extension.

So the question is #1 how do you have a bank account with the money in it and a year of transfer?

What visa were you on when you arranged this account?

If you have 800k and the income you can try it and see.

At least you have the fall back 800k.

They will prefer the 800k.

Monthly transfer on a first extension in practice generally does not work.

As always up to the officer you are in front of.

You should be a dependant on his nonb visa extension once he had the year its easy.

Possibly, if you apply for evisa they may grant you one once his is approved.

Dependant on nonb is relatively easy with no Financials for the dependant.

Simple answer

NO

You must have a FULL motorcycle licence AND an IDP reflecting that.

Rental is easy,

Tickets are cheap

NO insurance can be devastating.

There are reasons Thailand is one of the most dangerous roads in the world to drive on.

@Paul *******

also not all offices will allow this change.

Must check with the local office first.

The best practice for changing to income method is simply have the transfers and have the 400k in the bank.

This way if you are for some reason denied, you have the required money to fall back on.

Even one error and you would be denied.

They can even ask to match your foreign transfer accounts to prove origin of the funds.

I've seen/helped match thai account statement and foreign account statements, to prove origin.

It is not the "norm" but a exception.

The income method for marriage is usually work permit and preferred.

The date stamped under consideration is the date it is scheduled to be complete.

Do as you are and check, when it says approved go in for the final stamp.

It may be done earlier, but more often than not it will be the date as stamped.

Set up a Thai will and a US will.
