Hi all, I am British and need to renew my retirement visa. Iโve just been to BluPort Immigration office in Hua Hin to get a list of everything I need, the list says I need a letter from either Embassy or Consulate confirming income of at least 65k baht monthly. As I have been bringing into Thailand a minimum of 65k baht monthly for the past year will a statement from my bank suffice? I bank with Kasikorn and use TransferWise to bring the money in. Many thanks in advance ๐
TLDR : Answer Summary
A British citizen looking to renew their retirement visa in Thailand must provide documentation verifying an income of at least 65,000 baht monthly. Since the UK Embassy no longer issues income affidavits, applicants should instead present 12 months of bank statements showing consistent international transfers of the required amount. Additionally, a bank letter confirming the current balance and details may be required. Verification with Kasikorn Bank regarding the status of these transfers might also be necessary, especially if using TransferWise, which processes payments through Bangkok Bank.
