Can I Combine Seasoned Deposit and Monthly Income for a Thai Visa Extension?

No, for a Retirement visa extension you cannot combine a seasoned bank deposit with monthly income to meet the 800,000 THB requirement on your first 1-year extension. The rules treat the two visa types differently, and mixing sources is not accepted for Retirement on the initial application.

The Specifics

• For a Non-O Retirement or Non-O-A visa extension you must show 800,000 THB held in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months before applying. Monthly pension or income is not accepted as an alternative for the first extension.
• Immigration may ask to see bank statements covering the last 3 or 6 months to confirm the funds are properly seasoned.
• Applicants must be 50 years or older.
• For a Non-O Marriage visa you may choose either a 400,000 THB seasoned deposit in a Thai bank or proof of at least 40,000 THB monthly income. These are presented as alternatives, not combined.
• A TM30 receipt is always required for any visa extension. Hotels can provide it at reception; condominium or house owners must supply it. If a TM30 already exists for your Bangkok address, no further update is needed.
• Common documents requested at the appointment include the first page of your passport, entry stamps, TM30, and two photographs.

Expert Tips from Thai Kru Visa Agency

Prepare the exact financial proof required for your specific visa type. For Retirement, focus on building and seasoning the full 800,000 THB deposit well in advance rather than hoping income can fill any gap. Read our detailed guide on financial requirements and seasoning rules so you know exactly how long funds must sit in the account.

If you hold a Marriage visa, confirm whether the bank deposit or income route is cleaner for your situation by reviewing financial requirements by visa type. Never assume combining sources will be approved without written confirmation from the immigration office handling your case.
