I suggest you consult your local immigration office or the Thai embassy in your home country to get your answer. Seeing as your response to me was what I call disrespectful (“But all those people just must not be as intelligent as you”) our communications are over. I expect one of the admins to close your post very soon. Good luck.

Perhaps because A) they’ve answered this question at least 100 times already or B) you can easily find the answer yourself if you have some basic internet skills. Im sorry to be so blunt to you regarding my comment but I’m getting tired of seeing people admonish the admins on this page because they dont don’t get the answer they want or they get shut down.

and the rest of the crew help far more people than they disappoint, shut down or ignore. Please remember - this page is FREE for members and these guys have a limited amount of time to respond to the huge number of questions on here.

Thanks very much Robert. Very clear. Case closed.

This is getting to be ridiculous. The main problem is the difference between immigration offices. There‘s no consistency in this policy 🤨

Thanks very much

Thanks

, sorry for the incorrect wording in my post. The bank wanted to see some sort of certified ‘proof of address’ from me in Thailand. That was the purpose of the affidavit.

Print outs of investments and their statements?

I used the same method, affidavit from the US embassy, last year at the BKK Office - no problem. In December I have to renew. I would also like a bottom line definitive answer if possible. Thanks.

@Biff ******

thanks, that’s the part I wasn’t sure of because I looked at that list the last time I checked in. Proof of income from investments was not on the list in the immigration office on Samui. Only the 800k baht in a Thai bank account. I will get the list in October, my next check in, and ask about it all then.

Many thanks Tod. The reason I used a lawyer is the simple fact that I didn’t have to show my assets or open a Thai bank account. I merely went to the US embassy in BKK and signed an affidavit which says that my investments earn the minimum required to get the visa. This is why I want to use the same lawyer, if possible. It was very easy and I got the visa and affidavit all in one single day.
