Just checking if anyone has been able to provide verification to Thai Immigration for the >40,000 baht pension entitlement payments (paid direct to a UK bank). I believe the UK /EmbassyConsolate (along with others) no longer provide assistance/letter of verification with this part of the Thai visa renewal process - need info to start the process of getting the ducks in a row for August Marriage visa renewal so all information is appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the difficulties of verifying pension entitlement payments for the Thai marriage visa renewal, especially in light of the UK consulate's cessation of providing affidavit letters since 2018. Participants emphasize the necessity of transferring at least 40,000 baht monthly for 12 months to meet the income proof requirements. Alternatives such as maintaining a 400,000 baht balance in a Thai bank account for 2 months before applying are suggested as potential solutions for upcoming extensions.
