What does your bank statement show. Email yourself one from the app

I don't know why they would want to see your bank book. I can only imagine that it's to show you are spending your income inside Thailand

@Ned ******
you're in a different situation as your embassy won't provide an income certificate so you use 65k baht per month transfer option. They were looking for confirmation of where they 65k came from. It's not unusual

There are a number of different visas all referred to as retirement visas.

The most common is the 90 day Non-O visa which you should get before travelling to Thailand, then you need to open a Thai bank account and put a minimum of 800k baht in it, the money has 2 be in place for 2 months before you can apply for a 12 month extension of stay, must remain there for 3 months after you get the extension of stay and not drop beyond 400k baht at any point in the 12 months.

Alternatively there is the Non-OA visa which is a straight 12 months multi-entry visa again applied for in your home country. This doesn't require you to put any funds in a Thai bank at all but does require insurance, police checks, etc.

The other options are not worth listing in your case but feel free to Google them.

you can't just go to any Kasikorn branch. You have to go to an International Trade Centre branch

Get her a Non-O based on her age. I doubt a soft power dtv will fly

You need to get a confirmation of overseas transfers from Kasikorn. All Bangkok Bank can give you is what you have which doesn't help. Look at the Wise FAQ for THB transfers

@Derek ****
they can apply for an extension they won't get and "might" be given 7 days to leave. There's no guarantee
