Yes print and show on entry.

Check your stamp to make sure it is correct before you leave immigration desk.

Yes that's the safest path.

Never an issue that way.

@Nick *********

not for your original visa and extension in Thailand what visa?

In order to use monthly income for a visa or extension in Thailand you need a income certificate from your embassy.

Unfortunately the Australian embassy will not issue one.

You will need to use 800k for the first year and transfer 65k min every month for a year to prove income.

@Alan ******

almost all offices are 2 months only, there are a couple of rogue offices that want 3 months. Bangkok is 2 months.

@Alastair ******

yes it is correct. You have to fill the previous extension requirements in order to get the new extension. Otherwise people would not keep the funds in the account as required.

@Alan ******

check with your local office, there are a couple offices that want 3 months prior I believe.

Okay this is a best practice approach.

You should bring the account back up to 800k 2 months before the next extension EVEN if you are switching to income method.

By doing this you guarantee that you will get an extension IF for some reason they deny the income method.

Any sort of mistake, or what can be interpreted as a mistake could cause you to start all over again.

For the sake of a couple more months this is the safest practice.

So the answer is are you cautious or are you certain you fully are qualifying for the income method?

I've seen extensions denied because of the money not transferred close to the same date every month and some that dropped just a few baht under because of exchange or fees.

If you are currently on extension.

You will need to prove:

800k 3 months after last approval

400k always

AND proof of 12 monthly consecutive transfers of international funds.

Otherwise you'll be paying an agent.

What you do in the privacy of your bedroom is your business.. keep it that way.

No issues.
