Please can someone explain about the sponsor letter. I am applying for a non O visa. Thanks
Answer summary
The concern about the sponsor letter for a Non-O visa application is raised, with varying opinions provided in the comments. Some users suggest the sponsor letter is unnecessary, especially for financial requirements involving 800,000 THB in a bank account or proof of monthly income. Others highlight the lack of clear guidance on this issue and mention the complications that arise from conflicting advice. It is recommended to focus on the financial specifications rather than the sponsor letter, alongside providing necessary documents such as a work permit and relationship certificates.

The problem with this site is that there are so many different answers by different people, which contradict each other. It’s a complete minefield of advice. Somewhere in there is the answer…but who knows where ?

Let me help you, just take your work permit,your passport

Relationship certificate from your country embassy in Thailand

A birth certificate of your baby

And a contract letter from your condolences

That's all.

For visa type O only 1900

Multiple entry 3800 baht

Thanks me later

I had 800k equivalent in my home bank account. There was nothing about the sponsor letter. Use the financial requirements, quick and no mucking around.

You only have a slim chance to get by with a sponsor letter.

In fact for more than 90 %, the 800.000 Baht way is the only way for the first year.

How can this question still be asked? And before you all get wobbly over my comment, this is about a bigger problem . People not doing any research of their own, and being scammed. It is what the Google search engine does best. Take advantage of the wonderful technology you have at your disposal. Read reviews and look at the YouTube videos and ask questions . Knowledge is power.

Yes however it begs the question is it the best place for such questions? And I think you are smart enough to work that out for yourself. I will give you an example. People send deposits for condo rental and get scammed. Or Wonder why their electricity bill is so high. Only after do they start to research . Looking at reviews or official sites are way more beneficial than Facebook. Where people give wrong information and argue.

Sorry to interrupt but I have a question about the 800k in the bank or 65k per month income, also do I need a sponsor?

one good thing about facebook is the are beginning to put AI prompts at the bottom of posts offering answers to questions.

Whether they will offer AI answers to redundant questions before they are posted I do not know. I suspect not, because it might reduce engagement.

And you are a fool for not understanding the majority of scams can be avoided by research. I did help I gave you the best advice you are ever going to get yet you choose to ignore it .

the frustration is that this question has literally been asked and answered many times and it just clogs up the feed. Also the people telling someone to get an agent for the 800,000 are promoting the very practice that caused the rest of us the banking problems.

You have to ask for a bank certificate from your bank to prove that you have 800,000 thb in your account. Or a bank statement to show monthly income.

A bank statement from the last 3 months, showing sufficient funds in your account to cover the 800,000 baht, currently dated (downloaded from online) does the job too.

Just pretend it's not there. Sponsor letter is mostly for family members.

always send 3 months worth of bank statements in a pdf format you can only send 1 attachment so you will have to merge 3 statement into 1 file trust me it helps as I applied and they came back asking for 3 months worth of statements
