My IO here in Korat always asks for proof of the fact that my FTT into my Bangkok bank account is indeed derived from a pension. I supply them with a monthly pension statement showing gross and net income, they accept no problem.
Not in my IO at Korat they were not when i had my stamps transferred in 2015. My ''ridiculous'' comment was aimed at the requirement by your IO, i just can't see the need for such information but i do understand that some IO's appear to act on their own requirements.
Ridiculous, WTF has a bank book got to do with passport renewal and stamp transfers ?
Just a thought OP, have you ensured that your monthly income transfers are designated by your Thai bank as coming from overseas ?
I never got caught, i informed them of my change of address to Thailand but i was late in doing so, i was totally honest with them but they showed no mercy.
Yes taken out of my state pension and i was and never have been in receipt of any other benefits.
Feel free to repost as pictures any of the download pages.
Yes i was fined £50 and also had to repay the overpayment. This was recovered from my pension payment. I never appealed as i was guilty of receiving the monies when not entitled.
I get a 12 month statement from Bangkok bank to support my 65K monthly income retirement extension and its never signed or stamped. Korat immigration accept it no problem.
