yes I know that there’s no stipulation about proof of the source of funds (he even showed me the document outlining requirements which of course doesn’t mention anything about the funds having to come from a pension). He was adamant though that he wanted to see proof that the transfers were coming from a pension.

Had the same experience yesterday at Nonthaburi immigration (although the officer was really nice). Was trying to move from banked method year one to monthly income method year 2 on retirement extension. I had 12 monthly 70 k payments and had met the 800k banked requirements. Officer said it would be much easier to stay with banked method and they demanded proof of where the 70k a month was coming from.

Are you on Non-O or Non- OA? Reason I ask is that you are holding up the Non-OA requirements which required insurance.

1. Extend for 30 days for 1900 baht at your local immigration office

2. Border bounce when the 30

day extension has expired

3. Check with your airline that they will allow you to board without an onward or return journey within 45 days.

You could try applying for 60

day tourist visa which is extendable for 30 days if you have time before you fly.

@Sid ******

45 days

Enter flight details for the day that you are planning to go. Your flight details won’t be mentioned on the visa.

@Elizabeth ****

make sure you get the correct visa for “volunteer work.”

20,000 baht in cash or foreign currency equivalent.

Do you have your bank letter and statements prepared ? If not you may be cutting it very fine.
