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.

Chris Parish with the current goings on with American requiring proof of income and the Brits just not doing notorized letters after December, I am going to make sure I transfer bht into my Bangkok Bank account every month, and have the book available when my extension is due for renewal next September. I am lucky as far as the timing of all this. I use transferwise from Australia.

Don't sweat it George, US immigration are worse if you are not from there.

@Tod ********

the key word in your reply is "legally"

Try complaining about morning prayers in a moslem country and see how far you get. This is a little like living near an airport and complaining about plains.
