Hi again David555, I have lived hear 10 years.This is how i renewed my retirement visa. First i calculated my shortfall of 800,000 from my income of pension. I deposited that sum into my Thai bank. Myself being a U.K. citizen,then had to go to the British Consulate which is at Jomtien and produce my retirement pension papers and passport in order to get an official letter from them so as to prove my income to Thai Immigration.(i did this 2 weeks prior to applying for the visa cost just over 2000bht) Checked the letter to satisfy myself i had enough in the bank to cover any shortfall from my income to make the 800,000. Then took my passport and bank book to the bank in order to get a letter from them, stating the amount of my savings. (cost 100bht) Satisfied that i had a combo of both that came to the 800,000 i then applied for my visa which has always been granted. Good luck David and i hope my post makes sense.

My application was based on marriage as it has been for a number of years. We supplied all the marriage documents kids birth certificates, map of house happy family photos an all the other stuff required for marriage extension.

My proof of income is from the UK Government Pension so could they have given me a retirement visa instead?

How would I know and would it make any difference?

Curious

My 1 year visa was granted in the same way,the only difference being my retirement pension did cover the required 40,000bht so did not need any money in the Thai bank.

something gives me haedache

in case retirement ;

65000 a month or 800000 in bank / 65000 x 12 = 780000 ?? not 800000

in case married to THAI

40000 a month or 400000 in bank / 40000 x12 = 480000 ?? = more then 400000

Or am i missing something

Just curious to know how Thai is counting or why so .....and how they should calculate a combination to show as income

David,i think you will find that you multiply these amounts by 13 as your pension is paid every 4 weeks and not every calender month.
