What wording should I use for the affidavit of income for my Non-O visa application in Thailand?

You just need to provide proof of your income (mine was NZ super and military pension) and they provide a letter confirming the annual amount in Thai baht. When I did my extension I attached a copy of both pension letters and a couple of my NZ bank statements highlighting the funds going in as proof.

You can email the Embassy at and they'll tell you what they require, cost and bank details to make payment (was 900 baht last time I did it). Takes about a week tops, they should email you to confirm the letter has been sent (they will attach a copy with the email) and tracking number. Hope this helps.

Good luck it is affidavit. Have a look at the NZ fees v other countries for getting Thai visas and you’ll see what you’re up against as NZ has done something to p*** the Thais off. Just go the 800Bk bank deposit route.

Check you specific situation as you may be required to apply outside of Thailand for the non -O visa. Under specific conditions you may be able to convert. In the US the initial non-O visa is applied for online and a 90 day visa is granted. Once in Thailand, the bank account is opened and the other requirements are met to get a 1 year extension. You will not be able to open a bank account if you are on a visa exemption or a tourist visa needed for the non-O visa.

Im not 100% sure but im on the understanding that you still have to show the full total in your thai bank account for 2 months and can only us the monthly method on your first extension.

The embassies use different standard wording, all accepted by immigration, but be prepared to show the original documents the affidavit is based on if asked.
