hi - my local amphur has many requirements for obtaining the yellow book. Some of them requires a trip to my embassy in Bangkok to get my passport verified! Other requires involving a certified translater! Can't be bothered with that. I see here several get it easily. My question is : do I have to use the local amphur or can I use another? Thank you.

Question. Sorry if it’s overly asked.

For retirement visa extensions,

the Thai government website states three ways to show Financial Proof regarding getting an extension. I’m on year three now so want to use the 65k monthly income method.

Here’s the question; for the Bank Deposit method, it clearly states 800k baht must be verified by Thai bank book and verified bank letter

For the monthly income method, it says nothing about Thai bank. Only verified income letter from embassy, or 12 months proof of income by bank statements showing over 65k baht monthly income.

Has anyone ever used foreigner bank statements to make this monthly income verification? Again, Bank Deposit method clearly says Thai bank, where Monthly Income method does not.

Bank Deposit

Monthly Income

Combination.

Thanks.

Good afternoon and happy new year!

I have a question about the so-called visa financial support letter from the embassy. I am familiar with the procedure and requirements for a retirement visa. However, I do not have the required 400k baht in liquid form at the moment. Has any of you knowledge (or your own experience) with the acceptance of this document by immigration? Of course I will also go to immigration myself. If you would like to share your knowledge or experience about this, it would be greatly appreciated!

We are getting a few cases of people forging our documents. The embassy call us and ask for confirmation that the client is genuine, that's how we catch them out.

Hi, for the yearly extension of non imm o visa based on marriage it is possible instead of the thai bank deposit to give a certified letter from the embassy that shows my salary? Thanks.

DTV application

Hi everyone! For those who applied from their home country, do embassies contact companies to ask if you are allowed to work remotely from Thailand? Thanks

In 2021, have the monthly income requirements for extension of a Non O visa married to a thai changed from a bank letter and books to an embassy verification?

Must meet the financial requirement:

Security deposit of THB 400,000 in a Thai Bank Account for at least 2 months prior to the visa application; or

Monthly income of at least THB 40,000. A letter from the foreigner embassy has to be shown to verify this income
