Clause 2.18 here. Amendment to police order 138/2557 Revising clauses 2.18 and 2.22 to include options for proof of income 

No appeal other than calling the immigration helpline at 1178.

 

Thank you - Do you have a link to the Thai version of that police order? - I would like my wife to read it.

Not sure why Phuket immigration is not following the official rules that sill state the 40k baht income is still accepted.

I do recall them not accepting the income being transferred into a bank without proof of the source of the income. 

 

Thank you - Can you point me to a link relating to the official rules and is there any means of appealing/challenging Phuket's stance?

Hello - I am new here and am hoping to receive some insight, advice and guidance.

For 15 years I have secured a extension based on marriage using the overseas income method.

I am now informed that Phuket Immigration will no longer accept income of over 40K/month from abroad.

 

From Phuket Immigration Volunteers.

"Sorry, forgot to mention.... no monthly  income from overseas in a Thai bank account is accepted by Phuket immigration.

Dear Sir
Unfortunately, Phuket Immigration does not accept monthly income for an extension of stay / marriage
The link I sent you shows the requirements of the Phuket Immigration for an extension of stay / marriage
Regards
PIV"

The link ([email protected]) also includes this in relation to extensions based on retirement - "UK, USA and Australia applicants require monthly overseas deposits into your Thai bank account of at least 65.000 Baht a month for the previous 12 months which must be proven" So it seems income is accepted, at least for retirement extensions.

I am not due to renew until Feb 2020 but would like to know exactly where I stand.

Thanks in advance for any helpful information.
