ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone, does someone have any experiences with a Confirmation review of the pension notice by German embassy in Bangkok if someone wants to use a combination of his pension and his Thai Bank balance ( the sum 800 000 Baht in a year) as Proof of finances for a non  immigrant O retirement visa extension at a immigration office?   The non O , 90 day visa stamp is already in the passport while entered Thailand at  Suvanabhumi airport.

Should the pension letter be in English language or Thai or it is enough in German language but approved by the embassy? 

Thank you for any advice coming from people who really knows the matter and not just talking.

😊🙏😊

TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry is about the requirements for using a combination of a pension and a Thai bank balance (800,000 Baht) as proof of finances for a Non-Immigrant O retirement visa extension in Thailand. The asker is seeking clarification on whether the pension confirmation letter needs to be in English, Thai, or if the original German letter is sufficient if verified by the embassy. Additionally, a comment suggests consulting the immigration office directly for specific requirements.

Have you been to your Immigration Office to ask for a list of their requirements and, in particular, if they will accept the combination method for proof of funds?
