I have a question in relation to the 65,000 pm deposit for a Non O retirement Visa .... for the 2nd yearly renewal.

First is it correct that the deposit method is only avaliabile where your Embassy will not verify your pension .... which I understand is Australia, USA and the UK?

If that is correct what happens if your nationality is not one of those countries but you have lived and are a permanent resident of one .... ie a New Zealander that has lived and worked in Australia for 25 plus years whose bank accounts, driver licence, tax, investments etc are all in Australia.

I realise no one other than Hua Hin immigration can give a definitive answer but ......?

Thanks in advance 🤗

Extension based on monthly deposits experience, Jomtien.

This is NOT the ฿ 800 or ฿ 400 in the bank method!

Nor is it about those who have a complyent Embassy who will give income letters.

I was issued my extension today with little hassle.

I brought the following to Jomtien Immigration

Home bank statement showing 12 foreign deposits

of at least ฿65 K. Below is a copy of the accepted

statement which will take a week to get.

I did NOT have to show proof of last year's ฿800K. Since 12 monthly deposits have to be shown, it requires you to have some other visa type for you to aquire this 12 deposits.

Many have done this. Some were successful and some were not. My opinion of why the failed ones happened is probably due to either confusing the two types of extensions (income and banked) or not getting the bank statement correct. It must be deposits into Thailand, 12 deposits of at least ฿65K, the bank statement must be from the bank and be in the prescribed format and definitely not money in your home country.

At first it was rejected, the bank put the wrong month on the statement and I had have it redone.
