Are there any Canadians here who successfully used affidavit from the embassy to apply for Non-O (90 days visa) from within Thailand? Did you have to have pension income necessary? My husband doesn't have pension but has payroll of more than 100 k BAHT and wondering if this would be good enough? Thanks everyone for your input!

I am confused about the "mixed" option on retirement visa. Regarding on monthly income plus bank deposit.

If I apply Non-O from my country, it gives me 90 days, right?

Then I can extend that for 1 year?

How can I show monthly income, for 12 months, when I have only been in country for 2 months, when applying for extension?

Also, when renewing the non-o, how do they count the monthly income, transferred to thai bank account?

Is it summed up yearly, no matter about the monthly amount?

As far as I understand, it should be counted as yearly income, combined with the amount deposited in bank account.

Have I understood even closely correctly?

Has anyone gone this route for a marriage visa? Would love to know what the steps are as we called a visa agency and they said we HAVE to have a Bank Acct or the income has to come from a Thai employer or you are self employed and your business is here in Thailand - which doesn't make sense why you would get an affadavit from your embassy.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hello this has probably been asked but I am lazy ,my dear old friend has a combination of savings and earnings totalling 800,000 is this acceptable.

Can anyone shed some light on how to get a thai bank account?

It seems like I need a visa to get a bank account but I need the bank account to get the visa 🤔 I was on tourist before amnesty, but will need a bank account to get my non o guardian visa (son will have a student visa)

Thanks

Update from my last post.

It turns out that even the boss in our local immigration refuses to accept monthly international transfers to satisfy financial proof for extension of stay based on marriage.

The boss insisted that this way of proofing financials can ONLY be used for extension of stay based on being over 50..

Only two ways is acceptable for them with marriage based.. That is either 400K seasoned, or an affidavit from an embassy.

Luckily for him, he was able to source 400K within 24 hours, and can come back at 4th November and get the 60 day extension based on visiting family. Giving enough time to season the money.

The Danish embassy is now offering an alternative to the affidavit they stopped issuing, which is actually just a translated and stamped pay-slip/pension-slip on their paper with logo. But the time frame to get that is getting to close to the expiration of current stamp.

He asked in September and was told that monthly transfers was fine.. Turned out not to be the case. If he had been told he needed that alternative to the affidavit, he would have had time to get it.

The question is still, if they would have accepted that. Next year he will make sure to get that paper from embassy sourced via his government pension from DK in really good time before and give it a try, but having 400k already seasoned in the backhand just in case.

Time will tell..

On a side note, I was with him yesterday again. I got my 30 day under consideration last week. Yesterday I was told that I should remember not to touch my 400k until I had been given my final one year stamp. That was not mentioned with a single word when I got the stamp at application. Nothing in writing too.. I only got that message because I by chance was there again.. I had already removed 20k from the account, and had to put them in again yesterday.. I don't know if they will ask for an updated bank book and if that will cause problems.. Then it will be a 60 day visit family extension for me also and applying again..

In the past I've always used the notarized verifying montly income letter from the US Embassy. Now I live full time in Loei and for verifying income I think I need an official statement from my Bangkok Bank account showing in excess of 800,000 baht transferred into Thailand during the past 12 months but not necessary to have 800,000 currently in that account, just income during the year. Is that correct? Thanks!

I am United States citizen, to qualify for the marriage 1-year visa I have to show proof of 400,000 THB in Thai bank account OR get proof from my embassy that I earn 40,000 THB a month. Does this mean my overseas online job that pays this much will suffice? Thank you for the help!
