Hello trying to decipher the meaning of

"A copy of bank statement in the past 6 months showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 800,000 Baht or an income certificate (an original copy) with a monthly income of not less than 65,000 Baht, or a deposit account plus a monthly income totalling not less than 800,000 Baht, in the case of submitting a bank statement, a letter of guarantee from the bank (an original copy) is required."

What is a letter of guarantee?

I have an unsigned on stamped letter from my US bank indicating the current amounts and average balances for the past 12 months. is this sufficient?

They also ask for "notarized copy" is this simply a copy of the original notarized that is is an east copy?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the requirements for proving financial stability for a visa in Thailand, specifically regarding the need for a letter of guarantee from a bank along with bank statements or an income certificate. They ask if an unsigned letter from their US bank is sufficient and inquire about the meaning of a notarized copy in this context.

I just got a letter from my embassy confirming my pension income for an over 5o Visa. But found out today that this embassy letter then has to be approved by a thai ministry in Bangkok.

Correct some Immigration Offices want you to get the stamp from the Ministry of foreign Affairs.

It is just a letter from the bank on their paper that you have that money in the bank during the time asked.
