What are the best methods for Canadians to transfer money to Thailand?

@Helen *******

At the consulate, what documents are required to show income, a letter from the bank certifying the balance or is your current tax filing required?

we used a copy of the proof of income statement from the prior years taxes. You can get it from your CRA account. We had our bank statements as well but it wasn't necessary, unfortunately our bank doesn't issue certification letters. This is what the consulate in Chiang Mai told us to bring: "Please bring your original passport, any document or statement showing your income or an income tax statement, and the notary service fee of THB 1,250 in cash only. You will be required to confirm/swear your statement on the affidavit and sign in front of consular officer at the Consulate. Then a letter confirming pension income will be issued to you in the same morning". If you r bank issues a letter that would probably work but best to ask

hope it works for you both. The Chiang Mai consulate was very responsive on email, usually had the answer the next day.
