Tik-Tok have stopped offering a number of services due to the clampdown on banking

I transfer 65k baht each month from overseas into a Thai bank account. Absolutely nothing to do with any embassy.

First I heard was only two weeks ago, a German guy, so it's probably a fairly new policy. No doubt we'll hear more as the weeks roll by

@Graham *****

I don't know, there's been several reports of Bangkok Immigration no longer accepting income affidavits from any country, so we might be seeing a shift in policy

@Kevin *****

So you can no longer use the "income affidavit" method, you'd be better moving onto the 65k per month international transfer, although you've left your run late for this year, so you'll have to swallow the pill and transfer the 800k for the first year, but make sure you start the 65k transfers immediately, so they'll be in place for your next extension

A few other embassies stopped with this as they cannot guarantee the authenticity of the pension payments, Australia being one of them. I went onto the 65k per month overseas transfer rather than tie up 800k lump sum, which is much better option

@Will *****

Ok. Now that makes more sense. I think you'd be better off coming in visa exempt and having an outward bound ticket just in case it's asked for

Why are you applying for a Tourist Visa if visiting family? Apologies for my confusion but it doesn't seem to add up

How would a Tourist Visa application require a house registration? Are you sure you're applying for the right visa?

Greg Alexander Muay Thai is also general fitness. There's no requirement to be involved in competitive boxing. I regularly have beers with a 71 year-old who has two Muay Thai classes each week because he finds standard gym workouts to be too boring. Although I will add he doesn't do it in order to qualify for a visa as he's on non-o retirement
