Piero Colagrosso. To the best of my knowledge, Canadian embassies still issue the affidavit to verify your pension income in your home country. It is only USA, UK and Australia which have stopped and which require actual transfer of funds (65k per month minimum) to a Thai bank account, so your first port of call should be the Canadian embassy

It's only STV and OA which require it. Have you tried your GP? I took mine years ago to my GP and knowing my medical history, he signed it without batting an eyelid. He said some of the tests would cost hundreds of dollars and didn't see the point as I would have exhibited some symptoms.

It's been back since about November last year

It's always been 12 months when using the income method, but this is the first case of a Canadian letter not being accepted. The embassies of US, UK and Australia no longer verify the letter. It's a strange one

Gary P Young. That's not a bad idea. I go to online banking on the first day of each month and download/print the statement for the previous month. It's more paperwork than the three monthly statement, but it satisfies the anal immigration office!

Wannikea Wanblee. Bangkok bank at CW will just put it in their chonka and it'll show as a "B/F" entry.

It needs to run from your extension the previous year. Has to come from head office which takes a few days, but immigration will accept it up to seven days old. Make sure you update your passbook on the day

Declan Ryan Nox. A lot of people find the paperwork side of things very daunting and there's nothing wrong with that. We've been paying travel agents for decades to arrange our airline tickets and hotel bookings. It can be a minefield. Arranging visas and entry requirements for Thailand can be an expensive process. The only people I criticise will be those who are happy to pay many thousands of baht to get their papers in order, but then go into total meltdown over the 500 baht entry tax. Good luck with your endeavours. Condolences on West Ham United! 🤣

Mark Price. At the moment it is. I think it'll end soon. There's only about 90 AQs left now. I think it'll be vaxxed only allowed in.
