@Roy *******

let us know on here what they say or do. I’m sure there are others in the same situation. And I’m waiting on my first direct deposit of my SS check to hit this month as well so I’ll be watching careful to see if it comes in labeled as FTT.

Did u do direct deposits of SS thru the BahtNet or thru Social Security in the Phillipines???

go to the bank and ask for the letters showing that each deposit came from Foreign banks. Hopefully the letters will suffice.

@Roy *******

what does it say for the social security deposit? But the bank clearly has something in their records showing it came from overseas. They need to provide u w a letter x 12 deposits showing that.

@Roy *******

Benefit letter can be downloaded directly from your social security account. Log into your account and click on “Your Benefit Verification Letter”. But I doubt it will help since USA embassy doesn’t certify income letters?

@Roy *******

take a look at your bankbook. Does it say FTT next to the deposits or are u saying it says PENSION or BahtNet??

Yesterday I went to my bank (Bangkok Bank) to update my passbook and get the letter for my 90 day Non-O visa.

I asked if she could provide a letter showing the money came from overseas and they pointed to the FTT deposit code in my bankbook. Since it was my first time I also asked her to provide me w a paper showing those deposits. She provided me w paperwork showing the dates and sources of the funds transfer specifically for each deposit (3). (800,000+ baht).

When I brought them to immigration they took them as evidence as well and the other letter the bank provided and compared them to my bankbook.

So I’m wondering if the separate letter/pages showing the deposits would qualify in your instance? I don’t have copies of what I submitted to immigration BUT it appeared (Thai language) that the 3 letters showed the specific transactions coming into Bangkok Bank from a foreign source.

And I also had copies of each page on my bankbook for which I highlighted w a yellow marker on the pages to coincide w the 3 letters/pages she provided me at the bank.

Note: I requested this specifically because I wasn’t sure if the immigration officers could interpret the meaning of “FTT” in my Bankbook and associate it w the Foreign transfer and I wanted to make sure I didn’t have to show up to immigration again to prove the fact.

And u don’t have to wait until the last day. U can go any day and they add the 30 days on to the expiration of your last visa exempt entry
