perhaps a different question to unlock the mystery of what visa your on, do you have to show 400kthb (marriage or support a Thai child) or 800kthb (over 50thb or retirement) when you get the new visa?

If you are divorced your will have change onto a regular over 50 or retirement visa extension. With all the financial and other constraints. Your probably not on retirement visa at the moment, but one to support your spouse or thai child. Note: the day your are divorced your visa extension ends, and must apply for your new one.

There are two levels on the card basic and advanced. Advanced needs more verification to the know Your Customer Level (KYC) level, but gives you more features like Prompt Pay, higher transaction levels and abilty to link your bank or card.

I'm not sure you can the 40kthb method in the first year, you cant on some other visas. If someone knows on here thats fine if immigration can help. In addition to financial proof, other document proofs include:

The passport of the applicant with all relevant visas, stamps, and TM6 departure card,

The child's Thai ID card and house registration (housebook),

Evidence of parental rights such as a court order or marriage certificate,

Photographs of the applicant and child,

The submitted TM7 extension of stay form and TM30 residence notification.

But again immigration can confirm

90 day Non O for support of a Thai is obtained outside of Thailand. Did you get this? If you want a 1 year ext. Its based on supporting a thai child. You have to 400kthb in the bank. Do you have a thai bank account?

@Paul ******

for me a 20 year post adds nothing to the conversation.

@Paul ******

what was the substance of this report its nolonger available.

@Paul ******

the other story was opion that the government favours wealthy pensioners is pretty reasonable, however, the recent flurry of financial and banking stuff on visas is in response to Thailand trying to fall inline with International financial norms and scams causing the some of reactions of Bangkok bank.
