definitely an annual not monthly payments. He even explained that saving the cost of monthly payments was important to him. However he was behind me in the queue so I dont know how his claim this year was treated.

It was Jomtien last month. I dont know his circumstances but he had accumulated paperwork to prove the meaning behind the Thai regulations and his pension source.

@Tod ********

I met a guy in immigration who had an annual pension. He was getting ready to fight it out and said last year he succeeded but only after seeing the boss.. so it is possible to average out the income...with a fight.

@Benjamin *****

Jomtien Pattaya. I guess you are right and old lists are not updated. I expected at least one comic reply as genuinely I got a friend request from some guy in immigration!!

I only needed 1 photo. (For another case they said I needed 3 but only needed 2. Why?)

I had this problem a few years ago. Go into Transferwise a/c and locate the routing of the funds. This will tell you which bank they sent to. That bank will give you evidence they received funds from abroad and which bank they forwarded the cash to. My problem was getting the local bank to understand my needs and so I had to find the regional HQ. As it happens Bangkok Bank uses TMB and Krungsri uses Kasicorn. Now as stated by other posters the path is streamlined by Bangkok Bank but the old way still works...

Krungsri will archive any account not subject to a deposit or withdrawel per 365 days. I know I had to sign papers to reopen it and monthly interest didnt count as a deposit. Betting some other banks same

Its not a question of risk its a question of the bank letter matching deposits in your book. You are scaring people saying the book HAS to have some particular notation which some banks do not provide. The letter proves the international transfer.

@Bobby *******

you dont need this category in your passbook. You need the bank to confirm it is a foreign transfer whether of not your book says so

Having means of support is not enough. You can enter the country but fail the visa test...same end result
