@Dave ********

you can't use this method for your first extension as you are from the US and the US embassy do not give income affidavits anymore., Ypu will need to deposit 800k for the first extension. After that extension so long as you've deposited a minimum of 65k per month every month, on your second extension you can utalise the deposit method. (If you get a non-oa which will require 1 year of insurance you will not need an extension for the first year and you can apply the second year utilising the 65k method so long as you meet the requirements and haven't missed a transfer)

The income regardless of 65k p/m or 800k has to show on the bank statement that it is an international transfer. Doesn't matter what bank or whom sent it, so long as it shows on your Thai bank statement it was an international transfer.

if you can't get an income affidavit from your embassy, you can only use the deposit of 65k method after your first extension (utilising the 800k method).

@Cole ********

that's not actually an embassy website, that's a legal company who bought the URL and has made the website to look like it's embassy official.

@Svetlana ******

4 times per year with extension is 360 days days, hence the technically.

@Cole ********

limit on border cross was removed in July with the visa/exemption changes.

Not sure about Bali but a friend had to get a letter from the hotel stating she had checked-in and was residing at the hotel when she applied in Kuala Lumpur last month after they started using the evisa system. (They wouldn't accept just the reservation booking).

You're best contacting the embassy to find out what they will want as proof.

@Kieran ******

do bears shit in the woods? The answer depends on the bear... The same goes for answering your question too. You give zero information so the answer is maybe. Depends if you have a valid passport or not.

You asked this a month or so back and the answer hasnt changed. Some immigration offices will not allow the 40k deposit method unless you're employed in Thailand, the ones that will, will only accept an embassy affidavit for the first extension. If your embassy (like most now) won't issue an income affidavit then you will need to put the 400k into a bank for the first extension then transfer 40k+ per month every month for the second extension.

1) you have to submit the application while in Malaysia and wait for it to be approved. Once approved, print the PDF, return to Thailand, and show the immigration officer your PDF print-off when going through immigration control. (Your hotel in Malaysia will more than likely happily print it for you)

2) You have to physically be in Malaysia when you submit the application, if you wish to leave once you have submitted the application nothing is technically stopping you from doing so. However, if you return to Thailand before your visa is granted you will need to leave Thailand and return to "activate" your visa (again same process, print PDF & show to immigration on return). Embassies also advise against leaving the country you are applying from in case there are issues that can only be resolved while you are in the country.

3) Thailand isn't included because you have to physically be in the country you are applying from (in this case Malaysia). Every embassy using the Evisa application system will ask for some form of proof of your location. If you submit an application while in Thailand and cannot prove you are in Malaysia (in this case) your application will be rejected and you will lose the fee you paid. If you wish to convert your current visa/exemption while in Thailand you will need your employer's help and extra paperwork. However, most employers will not do in-country visa conversions as it requires a ridiculous amount of admin and paperwork in comparison.
