that you could change reason for extension simply to retired and use the transfer method if you can meet the 65K baht a month. Normally just from your second extension, but I’ve seen feedbacks of people also allowed from the first.
I understand, good luck anyway. I’ve seen feedbacks recently that people are both allowed and denied to apply for an extension based on marriage with monthly transfers.
As you see her in the main immigration in Bangkok the transfer option for pension is not mentioned, only if you show affidavit.
It MIGHT work and it might not. More and more offices are saying IF you don't legally work IN thailand and make the minimum 40K baht a month salary to meet the monthly income requirements based on marriage extension you CANNOT use monthly incoming transfers from overseas of 40K baht a month for the previous 12 months.
It's just a crap shoot on whether your immigration office will or won't allow it, and they wouldn't allow it on the first yearly extension off a 90 day Non-O because you wouldn't have a year's worth of 40K baht a month transfers <- meaning you either legally work here with a work permit and the appropriate minimum salary, your embassy still issues the income affidavit OR you bank the funds.
Most people understand, but in fact it makes a huge difference. If you check at the airport next time you’ll see there’s a whole gate and special immigration only for visa on arrival upon entry.😉
No, there’s no extension available for the VOA, but if you try to apply for an extension you’ll get the general "Extension denied" stamp and 7 days to leave the country the same way as if you try to apply for a second extension on a visa exemption or tourist visa.
