Requirements for Monthly Income Documentation

I made another visit to my local immigration office in Khon Kaen yesterday to further clarify what is expected for monthly deposits to Thailand for my visa extension. I am American, so I no longer can obtain an income affidavit. I took to them a paper given to me by BKK Bank, which listed ALL activity on the account for 12 months. The IO seemed to be satisfied with this. I also gave her the form statement from US Social Security, which showed how much I was paid in 2019 and how much I will receive in 2020. The amounts are more than enough to satisfy what’s needed for a marriage visa. 

IN ADDITION, she said they would like to see  statements from my US bank indicating pension deposits & subsequent transfers to Thailand. This is no problem for me to produce, but the request was somewhat of a surprise, since I had not heard this before. I will be going again in mid-March to do my 90 day report & double check again. Sorry for the long post, but that’s the short version.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A US citizen seeking a marriage visa extension in Thailand learned about the documentation needed to demonstrate monthly income deposits. During a recent visit to the Khon Kaen immigration office, the officer accepted a 12-month activity report from a bank along with Social Security income statements. The officer also requested statements from the US bank showing pension deposits and transfers to Thailand, highlighting the importance of checking local immigration office requirements.

Thank you Dan for your post. And as there are 70+ Thai Immigration offices its always best to check with your own local office as to its requirements.

I deleted several comments, understand that this page is for Thai visa advice, what every you think about these rules is totally irrelevant.

If you like to shout new rules, great but show us the new rules.

If you like to shout how ridiculous or total b/s Thai Immigration rules are, do it on another page. Next time I will delete comments and members.

The point I am making is that applicants need to be aware of and inquire of their respective offices what is expected and not be surprised at some point. The money details I have discussed was never included in a list of requirements given to me several months ago by immigration. I only got the information when I specifically asked for them.

Let's get something straight here. I did make any comment concerning BS or ridiculous. I was making a comment as to what is being requested by the office, It might be of interest to members to be aware of this You need to stop acting like a PR agent for Thai Immigration. Objectivity is becoming a lost art here.

Sorry to disturb your feelings, but things did not change in a very long time. This is a copy of the police order.

Please try to accept these rules and stop telling telling things change all the time.

EDIT: the change of Jan 2019, due to no more income affidavit at a few Embassies.
