@Anna ********

oops, yes ;)

Is this your first extension because if it is then you will need the seasoned 600k or the Embassy income affidavit?

@Tod ********

The timings you lay out work as you say, only just, but what you do not mention is the possibility of a house visit during the under consideration period when the person applying will be out of the country on the working cycle. Should the application not be submitted on one of the 28 day cycles when in the country notifying Immigration of the departure flight on day 28 of the current entry stamp?

@James ********

How can you get a METV which is only available from your "home" country but you admit you live in Thailand?

@Jon *******

The OP has the 800k so yes, it is possible

@Ivan ********

You get stamped into Thailand with the Non-O Visa which allows you to open a bank account and transfer the funds to season in time for the extension application, that's how

@Mark ******

You cannot use the 65k per month method for a retirement Non-O Visa obtained in Thailand or for the first 12 month Extension of Stay unless your Embassy still does the income affidavit (USA, UK, Australia etc. do not).

@Mark ******

The Three Tourism Entry Proofs

- proof of accommodation for at least your first few nights (hotel booking or a letter of invite from a Thai)

- proof of onward travel (international travel ticket leaving Thailand within your initial 60 day entry stamp exit by date)

- proof of funds (20,000 Baht or equivalent in any major currency in CASH per individual, or 40,000 for a family)

@Chan ********

DTV is 500K

As the Embassy you will be applying through as they can and do impose the requirements differently
