, some years ago I was told that I should both have 400k on account plus 40k going into my account every month. I told her that this was like double. Then she started arguing about how I could stay in Thailand if not getting new money into the account every month? Then I told her politely that I comply with the requirement of 400k on the account and this should be sufficient for getting my extension. Then another officer told her that I was right 🙂

, the money on the Thai bank account every month for 12 months? I am pretty sure that they list this option on the list of requirements in Prachin Buri. But Prachin Immigration is surely strange sometimes. I think they are still under some kind of guidance from Bangkok having officers staying only for a while at the office making up their own rules...

@Colin *********

, which Immigration in Thailand are not keen on the income method? As far as I have heard the problems come if you want to combine income and deposit or doing the proof of income from your Embassy method.

@Thomas ********

, you can also get the initial Non-O on marriage at Immigration in Thailand. But it might be easier getting it at the Embassy in your home country as they will accept a tax report as proof of the 40k THB Net per month. In both cases, using the deposit method will take the 400k THB on account for 3 months in your home country and 2 months at Immigration.

40,000 THB per month or 400,000 THB on account.

The rule says no more than 2 weeks, but it highly depends on the time of year and maybe other parameters influencing the load of visa applications at the embassies.

, just not to confuse ppl. doing business in Thailand and knowing about accounting: Thailand does not distinguish that clearly between accounting and auditing as most Western countries do, but my international auditing firm with a branch office in Thailand made it very clear that anyone is allowed to do accounting but only Thais allowed to do auditing, incl. signing any papers related to accounting/auditing services or set up a limited offering any of those services. It is a little important due to the price if you were not allowed to do the accounting yourself or ask some low-paid Thai to do it.

@John ********

, true, the 3 Thai banks allowed for over 50k is: Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn, and Siam Commercial Bank. (I just looked it up).

@John ********

, it is a Thai rule of about 50k THB. It has nothing to do with the sending bank. It is actually only the 3 biggest banks in Thailand (Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn, and one more I don't remember allowed to receive more than 50k at all). If only small money, then cut it into chunks of 49,900 THB. If big money then big banks in your home country probably know better about the requirements than Wise as they are normally also considerable cheaper transferring large amounts.

, sorry, Sir, to give you a headache wondering about the meaning of the word "truth". I think this post is relevant even the mentioned situation happens rarely.
