Thanks then John said "if your Embassy provides you with an affidavit confirming your income you can use that, in fact I believe you have to use that rather than the monthly transfer option. You can also use it for the initial application". And this is the information I have been operating with - advice I got back here on this site several times earlier.

@Bobby *******

why is that Bobby? Anyway, I already have the tourist visa and in hand and am landing in 4 weeks - so too late for that. ;-) All others had suggested I take the route I am using.

whew...thanks John .. was worried there for a bit

Hi John my understanding is with the 65K approach our home embassy in Thailandcould provide verification of a pension income of that amount and it would suffice as proof of funds.

anytime

@Tod ********

I have the affadavit and credit card form I think I emailed them to you the last time you asked this question, no?

You must do it online now (since COVID). I contacted the embassy in Bangkok a few weeks back to ask the same question. Here is their reply:

The Embassy of Canada provides a letter confirming an income for Canadian citizen applying for a retirement visa, a marriage visa, and one year visa renewal to stay in Thailand.

Due to situation of Coronavirus pandemic, the income letter service is currently available online. You will be able to apply for an income letter by e-mail.

Please note: Service may be delayed for 1-2 weeks

Please e-mail the completed affidavit to the Embassy of Canada along with the following documents;

1. a copy of your passport

2. supporting document confirms your pension or other income such as Canada Revenue Agency statement, Income tax return slip, pension letter, or 3 months of bank statement showing monthly income

3. notary service fee of CAD 50.- pay by credit card (Visa or Master) by completing the attached “Credit card authorization form”

Once receive your mail, we will issue a letter addressing to the Thai Immigration confirming your income and mail/EMS back to your address. Please provide your mailing address.

Should you have further question, please do not hesitate to contact us.
