What do I need to certify my Notary Income letter for a Non O Visa application in Thailand?
I just extended my SETV for 30 days at the Jomtien Immgration, and ask to apply for my 90 days Non O Visa over 50 (retirement). I had my T86, T7, Passport info page, Visa/stamps page,
2 photos, hotel lease, 2,000 baht and Notary Income letter from U.S. Embassy and translated into thai.
The Immgration officer said i have to take the Notary Income letter to Bangkok to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get it certify (Cerification). What all do i need to take? Anyone know the cost and can i do in one day? Do i need that translated into thai also? Any feed back would be appreciated.

As you said, Cheangwattana is big and I'm used to doing a good bit of walking, so "just upstairs" is a relative concept.Tod *********
well, hopefully the O/P will weigh back in on where they go to get that certification stamp. I dunno and am going only by what I've read for the people who use immigration offices that require that stamp

MFA not MSG

MFA's certification office is in Cheangwattana. I went to the MGS and they sent me to CW.Tod *********
@Tho***
, Chaengwattana is a GIANT complex for almost all the gov't offices. The building that the immigration office is in is one TWO "upside down pyramid" looking buildings (A & B), but that's not where you go to get that stamp on the notary document from your consulate. I honestly believe it's the MFA that stamps it.

It's this building (the same place that certifies stuff that's translated into thai)

I do not believe that's correct Thomas, :/
To get that stamp on a notary from your consulate you have to go to the Ministry of Foreign affairs office which is another building entirely out at the government complex on Chaengwattana.
In thai it's called the กรมการกงสุล Dept of Consular Affairs.

They often play jazz or classical music in the central courtyard while you wait.

Same thing happened with my university diploma. If I remember correctly, it was 300 baht and a couple of hours wait.

There are I think 3 or 4 Immigration offices in the country that have this hare-brained rule. >:(
This is what the MFA stamp looks like on the proof of income from abroad notary letters from consulates.

As far as I know you didn't need the US embassy letter translated into thai. They accept the english version of it . . .

That is totally common down there. :(
