racyrick Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 For my extension based on marriage, I will use a proof of income affidavit. I deposit my income every month to my Bangkok Bank account that is the same as my affidavit. However, if by some chance Immigration asks for my bank statement overseas, that account has BOTH my name and my wife's name. Is this a problem?

ubonjoe Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Most immigration offices do not ask for backup proof for a income affidavit. There would be no problem having a joint account with your wife for backup proof of your income coming from abroad or in a bank account outside the country.

Is this a problem? They won't ask, and it wouldn't be a problem if they did. They could ask to see the income going in to your Thai bank, but that isn't standard practice and unlikely to be asked for. The income affidavit should be all they are interested in.

Just one quick follow up question. What exchange rate does Immigration use when looking at your income? Do they use the bank's buy rate, sell rate, xe.com etc.?
