Apologies if this has been covered before but my question is, what constitutes as an Income Certificate (original copy) for a Retirement Visa? The 800k THB deposited in a bank is easy to prove and is currently what I am doing but I also receive income on investments and a monthly fee for consultancy services but paid into a bank account in another country. I currently transfer more than 65k per month into my Bangkok Bank account for monthly expenses from overseas but it’s not from a retirement plan or anything of that nature of which presumably is backed by some form of official paperwork. If I can find a way to show the authorities that I have sufficient non-pension based monthly income (which I have) then I can release the 800k that just sits there doing nothing. Any help or advice appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry seeks clarification on what constitutes an Income Certificate for a Retirement Visa in Thailand, particularly for an individual who has sufficient non-pension-based monthly income coming from overseas. They are currently maintaining the required 800,000 THB in local accounts but prefer to use their overseas investments and consultancy income instead. The conversation suggests that monthly transfers exceeding 65k THB can serve as proof of income and provides instructions on how to obtain necessary bank documentation from Bangkok Bank for visa purposes.
