I just did this conversion last week at Jomtien. In my case, there was no check for the previous 800K and I just had to show the special bank statement showing my 12 deposits.

Although they didn't check me, immigration could if they want.

I am definitely not one of those "just Google it" types but in this case, this question qualifies

@John *******

you are using common sense which is a mistake. The IO will use whatever they want as proof. If we are talking about the income method, the standard method is only a statement from the bank saying that they are foreign transfers and a list of the 12 deposits. I just did this last week at Jomtien.

Unknown what other offices would want. And of course if we are talking about the banked method, everything is different.

@Marty ********

If using the income method, I had assumed that he ment separate deposits and not the ฿65K +. I do that all the time making additional deposits as long as the ฿65K + is made. In my case Bangkok Bank gives me a statement of only 1 deposit a month, showing only 12 deposits, and in the Thai text it says they are foreign.

But you are correct, there is no way to use cash deposits.

@Marianne *******

"need to show outbound" can but unlikely.

@Marty ********

once you start the ฿65K you can do anything with the account that you want, add or subtract everything. Next extension you need to show the correct deposits and not what was taken out

@Vernon ********

do you know if using the combination method, when can the money be withdrawn? With the 65K income method, it can be withdrawn immediately which is what I do.

They want a TM30 or a lease to create one

@Alex *****

yes and yes

For all. I wrote this OP to declutter the process of switching from banked to income. I had my own very recent experiance. There is a lot of confusion in doing what I did which I wanted to mitigate. Throwing in many extraneous senarios has accomplished just the opposite.

While worthy topics, adding in posts about marriage, 400K, combined method, etc only serve to confuse. Those subjects should be brought up as new separate posts.

If it does not stop, I will have to kill the thread.
