Hello,
want to share my experience today at CW immigration and ask if i have any other options …
I am german nationality, over 50 years old, at the moment i stay on tourist visa extension
So today i applied to convert my TV to a non immigrant o visa based on retirement,
I had the usually documents with me. I dont have the 800K THB in a thai bank account, so i used the monthly income method
I had bank statements from the last 12 month with me, and also 12 bank advises where is it shown i get every month more then sixty-five000 THB a month from oversea into my KK Bank account. I had also the bank letter with me. All documents are original and provided from my KK Bank branch.
Unfortunately the IO didn`t accept this. She said i must either have 800K THB in my thai bank account or i must show a proof of income from my german embassy that i am retired already and have a minimum monthly income of sixty-five.000 THB. I told her politely that i read there is a new rule since beginning this year that it is also ok when i show proof of income from a bank outside thailand and transfered to a bank in thailand, because some embassy will not provide this proof of income anymore. But all i heared was can not, can not, can not. ..i still keep on asking, she asked a colleague, but the outcome was the same can not. She made clear again, 800K THB or letter from embassy.
I have now only 15 days left on my TV extension, so i have to leave and apply for a new tourist visa outside TH again. I read also i can apply for a non immigrant o visa based on retirement outside thailand but i have to show a police clearing and a proof that i am retired already. Police clearing will be no problem, but it will take 4 weeks, so time is to short.
Is there any embassy in laos, vietnam, indonesia, or a country nearby which not ask for a police clearance and proof of retirement when i apply for a non immigrant o visa based on retirement? I can show bank statements from banks outside thailand with sufficient funds.
Thank you….
CW today – not accept monthly income by bank transfers

Just pay an agent to get your VISA and extension.
That’s what immigration want.
