stament Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I've read quite a few threads which mention that the requirement is THB 40,000 per month sourced from overseas but nothing on income earned within Thailand. Is it possible to use the monthly income method (rather than method of depositing THB 400k in a Thai bank account) based on income earned within Thailand, and if so what is the minimum monthly income required? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If working here you use proof of tax payments to prove the 40k baht income and the previous years tax return. If from investments and etc it is the same tax payments and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 You still need to prove 12 months of income of 40k baht or more. It does not matter how many payments are done every month as long as they total up to 40k baht or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if less than 12 months iavailable (e.g. visa expires 31/12 but job taken up only in March so can only show 9 months of income by the time the visa comes up for renewal) then the 400k option will have to be used.

Immigration has accepted 3 months of proof of income from working to do the application. After the first one using the income they would expect it to be 12 months.
