Alway got up my nose when I had to pay "christmas surcharge" on hotel bookings in moslem Malaysia.

The US embassy will give you one until the end of the year, and they last six months, but there is nothing to say whether the Thais will accept it

over 2 years ago Brisbane told me they don't do visas. weird? Seems other state capitals are ok tho

I quoted what immigration told the British Embassy. This was in formal, official conversation on the current situation

David Dillion plans for the worst and hope for the best. I am due in Sept 2019 and am now putting the 65k in the bank. I will know eventually if it is going to work, but I don't want to find out in six months I should have started now, if you know what I mean.

there was an interview by radio fm103 and the British Embassy. The Embassy spokesperson said they and Immigration Bangkok had talked, told they were told a bank deposit of 65k/month would be acceptable. HOWEVER, that was BBK, and we know how different offices talk to each other. Also, we are dealing with a group of public servants, who, it seems, have not been given specific instructions on the new circumstances. I think, at this stage, we all need to lobby our individual Embassies a. to get clarity on the situation, and b. to allow a Thai bank statement to be accepted a monthly income. In the meantime, the bottom line is no-one knows.

@Chris *******

wish I had 10K to transfer

Colin Rouse I think you will find all the banks will put a dailylimit on you, but contact your bank to override it

just a point, I notorized letter has a six month life, whether the Thias will accept in six months, who knows.
