Any Canadians in the forum. I just uploaded last 6 months of TD Bank....looks like they actually need 500k current balance.

What is the other document - business registration of the employer?

I already got a letter from my employer and submitted it. They sent this message to me again.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian expat has highlighted the requirement of maintaining a 500,000 THB balance for a Thai long stay visa. They are seeking clarification regarding additional documents needed, specifically concerning business registration from their employer. Responses indicate that it's advisable to include proof of the employer's legitimacy, such as company registration and employment letters, to enhance credibility in the application process.

Only my option the the DTV is a joke..I'm sure with they will stop it soon..we as long stay visa visa marriage or retirement isn't that easy..if I was to take a 3 month cooking class show 500,000 I get a 5 year visa...I'm sure it stop soon..

Yes the ending balance should be more than the required amount. You can attach copy of your employment letter, proof that this company is an operating company such as company registration, maybe there is a database where you can download the information in case your employer won’t give you a copy. You can also screenshot the company website. Just submit as many documents as possible to show credibility.

Make sure you downloaded the full version of your TD bank statement where it shows the ending balance, your name and address.

I use TD, there is a feature called Print with Letterhead...for the other Statement Balance ones...that gets updated monthly...but the Print with Letterhead mentions my name and everything...with last 120 days transactions.
