Ah ok. I understand now. So next time you can back up the declaration with bank statements. This time you just need 30 days, so you can go to a border (Mae Sai) and bounce out/in giving you the 30 days you need. If you need a bit more than that then you can extend that 30 day stamp for another 30 days at immigration.

I thought you were using the declaration of monthly income rather than the cash in a Thai bank for three months. If it’s the 800,000 method then that had to be in Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your name.

If you’re using the stat dec from the us embassy then now, in Chiang Mai, they’re asking for additional documents to back up the declaration. That would be when you show them a bank statement where your monthly income can be seen to match what you declared it to be. Unless, of course, you signed a declaration of monthly income that wasn’t actually true.

Surely, at some point, your bitcoin is transferred into actual money that you can spend? It must end up in a bank account in order for you to spend it, no? Showing evidence of that happening, along with your declaration, would be enough to satisfy the requirements.

In all the jobs I've ever had, when I need my employer to do something for me, the last consideration on my mind is whether or not they will dislike the amount of work that that request will generate. Also, employers that value their employees are usually quite happy to help them.

Your visa expired on 22 August 2018. Your last permission of stay would have lasted until 20 Nov 2018 if you had either stayed in Thailand until then, or got a re-entry permit before you left (that's what re-entry permits do, they keep your permission of stay current).

You now have no visa, just the standard 30 day visa exempt status.

They might shoot you. But just in the foot or somewhere where it won’t kill you.

No. The terms are confusing. As are the people who work in the Royal Thai Embassy in London.

The visa isn’t actually issued for pensioners, it’s issued for anyone over 50 who meets the financial requirements.

Obviously old age (state) pension in the uk isn’t issued at the age of 50. Some people do get their private pensions at an earlier age but that’s besides the point really.

If you meet the financial requirements you can get this visa.

Both parents, and the child, need to personally attend the Royal Thai Embassy in London. Thai citizenship by birth is passed on via the mother, so in your case the father will need to register the child as his.

If you turn up in Thailand with a UK birth certificate hoping to arrange Thai citizenship for your baby you will most definitely come unstuck.

Call the embassy in London and get them to explain it to you.

You'll need to sort out the baby's Thai citizenship in the UK before you head to Thailand. There is paperwork you'll need to arrange that is extremely difficult to do whilst not in the UK.

I reckon if I had a tomcat with tits it might supplement my income. There’s a market for everything 👍
