Hi all. Just wanna give you some advice if you ever have to go to the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok.

Go at the very latest, 15 minutes before your appointment. I went today. First you have to check in with the front desk. Show them your appointment verification number. It has to be written down not on your electronic device. Then I filled out a health Canada form. Basically saying I haven’t been sick. Then they give you a visitors badge. After that you go to a metal detector. If you’re wearing a Fitbit or Apple Watch you have to put it in a locker. Then you go up to the 15th floor where you check in with security there. You have to leave your cell phone with them.

All of that basically took 15 minutes. Once I was inside I had to fill out an affidavit form. Pay for the service of having my pension payments verified.

They told me to come back in two hours to pick it up from reception. I actually went back 90 minutes later and it was ready.

By the way. I never saw a “Canadian Embassy” sign.

Go online to the Canadian Embassy. You’ll make an appointment. Go 15 minutes before your appointment. You have to go through security twice. Bring a copy of your pension statement. A credit card and your passport. You will fill out an affidavit. Swear to it. Pay the $50.00 come back in 90 minutes and pick it up at reception in lobby. I wrote a post about it in December.

That’s the worst advice ever!!! It costs $50 Canadian to get the letter. An agent will charge what? 5,000?!!

I went last December. I got it about 90 minutes later.

I used the income verification method. I received an affidavit from the Canadian Embassy. Many countries don’t issue them. Now I’m wondering if immigration has stopped using that method and only using bank statements.

Marriage visa is a pain in the butt. Come here and apply for an extension of stay based on retirement. It’s a hell of a lot easier. It took me 45 minutes. Look at the requirements for a marriage visa and you will see.

What immigration office?
