Hello, I have a few questions about the income affidavit for the 90 day non o visa and then get the one year extension. I was planning on going to Chonburi immigration in Jomtien, one user posted that he had an affidavit from his embassy already and immigration there wanted his us embassy signed income affidavit stamped by the thai foreign ministry in Bangkok. I have a us passport, am over 50.
My pension will be about 69,000 baht a month, but this is before taxes. I did not want to really leave 800,000 baht in a thai bank. I am guessing the amount after taxes have to meet the 60-65k baht requirement? Not the gross amount? Also, what would be the best way to go about getting the affidavit? I would like to bypass the police and medical requirement at us embassy. Would I still have to get the affidavit at us embassy and then get it stamped in Bangkok as Chonburi immigration does not accept affidavit from us embassy? I do have the combination of pension and funds to meet the 800,000 requirement. Thank so much for your advice!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the process of obtaining an income affidavit necessary for applying for a 90-day Non-O visa and a subsequent one-year extension in Thailand. The author is seeking guidance on whether income figures should be before or after taxes and the necessity of getting the affidavit stamped by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Comments suggest that the MFA stamp is often required by immigration offices in Jomtien, and it's important to provide a notarized affidavit that accurately reflects the applicant's income. Community responses indicate that it is feasible to satisfy financial conditions either through a combination of pension and funds or by depositing a portion of the required amount in a Thai bank.
