Should I get another utility bill that shows only my name? Or am I overthinking this? Anyone done this recently same senario? TIA
In one year, the Norwegian embassy will stop providing income verification letters. This article was posted on ASN:
"The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the phase-out plan in response to a parliamentary inquiry. Minister Espen Barth Eide confirmed the service cut, explaining that it is not a legally mandated duty. The embassy will discontinue the letters in a year, providing time for adaptation.
Thai immigration practices have shifted, previously accepting foreign embassy letters, now requiring verification through Thai bank accounts. Thai authorities favour either a balance of 800,000 THB or monthly deposits of at least 65,000 THB. Many countries, including the UK, USA, and Australia, have already stopped offering similar services.
The Norwegian Ministry advises citizens to consult the Thai Immigration Bureau and Thai Embassy websites for accurate guidance.
The decision aligns with a broader international trend. Norwegian retirees in Thailand must prepare for direct compliance with Thai financial requirements going forward.
The recent government white paper further clarifies these consular changes. It confirms Norway's alignment with other Western countries' consular practices in Thailand. This shift signifies a new norm for the verification of income for Thai visas."
I was asked for documents such as bank statements in English, but my bank does not produce them. In your experience, how were they able to send the converted documents?
How I can request a residence certificate in Thailand (commonly used for visa, driving license, or banking purposes), along with the documents required, steps, and how long it takes?
