so you are talking about last years extension in which case you are correct. To meet the terms of that extension you should have had 800k in your bank for 3 months after and not below 400k for the rest if the year. However, my office never checked up on that and just accepted the 12 monthly payments for this years extension.

@Jim **********

once you have your extension based on monthly payments the 800k can be withdrawn.

I have just gone through this procedure in Nakhon Phanom. The print out from the banking app was accepted but I had got one after 6 months and one at renewal so it showed all 12 payments which I highlighted. All were ftt. I also produced my bank book updated regularly showing all 12 payments. I highlighted these on my copies. I also had to show my UK bank statements to prove where the money had become from. I highlighted the withdrawals and they spent a long time cross checking transfers. They did not ask for any proof that I had net the financial requirements of my previous extension ie 800k in bank for 3 months and not below 400k. I had left the 800k in all year in case there was a glitch. They also did not ask to see my Wise transfer slips but I had them in case. I hope this helps but remember, your office may have different requirements.

the answer is above.

it was Nakhon Phanom. As I said the bank account with the banked money was different to the one that showed monthly transfers. They only checked the monthly transfers and not the banjed money account.

Just for interest and it might not be the case for you but I just changed from banked money to 12 monthly payments of baht. I got my extension without anyone checking that I had met the terms of my previous years extension by leaving 800k for 3 months after getting it and not letting it go below 400k for the remainder of the year. I still had the money banked in case of an issue but it was in a completely different account to anything the officer saw.

Not worth risking a whole load of bother for 1000 baht.

it has changed dramatically very recently. Brand new much larger office just beyond Makro. No ques when I have been and helpful staff. In the past it has been dreadful and, I agree, Sakhon Nakhon Officers are good and ine spoke perfect English when I went.

what I was trying to get across is that Immigration were certainly aware of the tm6 number allocated to entrants to the Kingdom. I was told that even after it was suspended entrants were still allocated a number and they told me what mine was. That was Nakhon Phanom and if you have not visited the City you have missed out on something great.
