I done the Savannaket run for 4 yrs and used it as a mini holiday . Then used the Thai wife money in the bank , Hit hard times and now proof of income with a retirement visa all good stuff lear,nt from this group . Buggerd if i can understand some people moaning
Yes Terry in the last 2 mths with help from Tod and members ive got my wife a visa to go England , A proof of income letter , and changed my Thai wife extention visa to a retirement visa . All made fairly simple through the advice from this group . For me its brilliant #### the critics
Its not the answer to your question as ive never known or heard of any one bringing that much Thai baht into Thailand , Ive £10,000 in with me a few times without declairing . About 8 yr i brought £20,000 in hand luggage and declaired it with a bank statement showing id withdrawn from my bank no problem . Before any one asks why bring cash , Simple there was a private currency exchange in walking st who gave excellant rates the more you cashed
Yes Imelda Tibbott firstly google proof of income letter from British consulate . Down load the form and also form for payment , The form is self explanitary to fill in I sent 6 mths statements showing my income 40,000 baht for married 65,000 baht for retirement but im told 3 mths will do . If your mthly income doesnt reach the amount for a retirement visa you can use money in bank and mthly income combined . Once form filled in and payment by visa card , you can only do by post it takes about 10 to 14 days and is valied for 6 mths . Once you have the letter from UK consulate take this plus 2 copies of passport 1 picture and copy of entry slip 1,900 baht plus 1,000 baht for reentry stamp if required . Im not too clever at explaining things but i found it very easy
