I was asked to provide additional documents to provide proof for the source of the funds in my bank account to demonstrate that they were legitimate. I submitted a Thai bank account for my financial evidence. What does this mean? What should I submit? and has anyone gotten the same requests before?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Answer summary
The request for additional documentation to prove the source of funds in your Thai bank account typically involves providing evidence of income or financial legitimacy. Common submissions include payslips, bank statements for at least three months, and proof of any other income sources. It's not uncommon for applicants to receive similar requests from immigration authorities, often due to concerns over illegal money or money laundering. It's advised to ensure all financial evidence is well documented, and if necessary, seek a sponsor letter for additional support.

If you are applying for soft power also be prepared to show how you will fund yourself for the duration of the visa

Yea they are super anoying. They clearly stated that they want a bankstatement, which i provided. Then they came back and said i had to provide a bank statement….. to which i answered that i already provided it. From this group i know that they are actually looking for minimum of three months of bankstatements. I could provide them this from my savings account without my daily transactions, luckily. I believe it is a great breach of privacy if they see all your transactions. I hold more that 50k euro cash and was able to show them like 37k eur consistently. I told them to refund the money if they cannot make up their minds.

- through which embassy did you apply via? Unfortunately, they do say in the application before you hit submit that they reserve the right to ask for additional documents

Ofcourse but i believe its a breach of privacy if you have to show all your daily expenses. Luckily i had statements with only transfers. In addition they asked again for a ‘bankstatement’ and i had to guess they wanted to see three months. Communication is not their strength.

Give proof / receipts to show where your money came from. They don't want money laundering or illegal money and that you have an ongoing source of income to support yourself

that is not up to them to check. They go far beyond their authority if that would be true.

No, they have all the right to check whether the money is legitimate or not.

lol. You have really no idea. There is no law or regulation that gives them this right. It’s more their own consideration and i believe that goes beyond their authority. Your OPINION may differ but that does not mean that this is a necessity like financial services providers. If i want to see what type of underwear a potential tenant wears before giving him/her a rental contract, i can also ask it. But there is no law that stipulates this and I consider it a breach of privacy. You may not, brave new worlder.

And they dont even check wether it is ‘legitimate’. They dont even ask for tax statements. You are a joke.

Payslips is the most straightforward way to proof it. I submitted statements from kbank and also Payslips. Then added currency conversion (because payslips are in euro) and marked the transactions on the statements. This was accepted.

Okay thank you will do that. I just didn't know what they meant to prove that it was legitimate.

Anonymous participant then say that? And best would be to provide proof so include statements of your parents account where you mark the transactions to yourself.

Anonymous participant I don't know that. But since the money comes from your parents it makes sense to also include a sponsor letter from your parents, signed with copy of passport. Good luck
