Jason Silverman Agreed. So they should check of course.

Other Embassies will follow for sure.

Thanks. I already have my proof letter from BKK (I always get it as early as possible(5 months!) in case of hiccups) for my extension 5 Jan 19 so no immediate worries but it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next 12 months.

Ivan McAvinchey That sounds great but will Immigration except that on its own without a consular proof letter?

@Ivan ***********

Ok but they'll have to wade thro statements and they ain't gonna do it gratis! BUT will it be ok for immigration?

Could have the same problem and the Brit Embassy in BKK once looked after the ROI.

For expats to be treated in such a cavalier fashion is quite disgraceful. My army and state pension have been sent to Thailand for some time now. Am I now to expect my Thai bank to wade through my account to show monthly transfers - while I stand waiting at the counter? Seems unlikely. For expats with no lump sum this is all going to end in tears and severe hardship for many - and quite soon for those that require proof within the next few months.

Could be rate of exchange problem on income and now need to find balance.

and may well sink to Euro parity before the year's out! The joy of Brexit.

Exactly right. Just done.
