She was either mistaken or blatantly lied, which the British embassy have done on a number of occasions during this issue.

 

I will give her the benefit of the doubt and would say that she is completely clueless on Thai Immigration procedures and was talking out of her rectal passage.

 

I can assure you that Thai Immigration will only accept an embassy letter as proof of income.

 

Believe otherwise at your peril.

Ok, who do you believe?

Thai Immigration won't accept such information. they want an embassy letter, so Brits are still "up the creek without a paddle".

In the interview it was made clear a statement is acceptable.

Then why are so many complaining? They are upset they can no longer falsify their income? 

 

I think your right in the above, the statement will only reflect their falsely declaring.

Are you dyslexic ? No it won't suffice because up to this time the IO still demand the embassy letter regardless of the incoming money in your Thai bank book and as yet they have shown no sign of deviating from this practise.

I might be dyslexic but you’re delusional.

What are you talking about?

Your statement has nothing to do with my post.

Don't many pensioners have their money direct deposited into their Thai bank account? If so, won't a yearly bank statement and bank letter confirming such, suffice?

Correct, here's what you actually said.

"I’m sure it’s only the ones that do not comply, false statements etc that have a concern.

There will always be the lousy miserable moaners and blamers.

These people will never be happy, they are in the wrong and are desperately rocking the boat, making waves.

For those of us that are genuine it looks good, possible to stay with the statement option."

 

so basically, anyone that uses the method you use, presumably by statement you mean 800k in the bank, they are OK. Anybody not doing so is either a cheat or blamer/moaner.

Thankfully your idiocy makes no difference to anything otherwise quite a few, me included would be in your negative category, ready to be kicked out. You always so loose with facts?

Why are you being so hostile?

 

Did you listen to the interview?

She said people with a statement showing 65k per month comply.

Sorry to all you good people out there but I must comment from the previous forum...........you  jinners get the D1ck H3@d of the month award, well done!!!

 

The problem here is people go off the handle, not reading or listening to facts, too often not reading posts in full then commenting, children do this not adults, grow up. This characteristic is from lack of education.
 
You didn’t listen to the interview and you didn’t read my post in full.
 
Who are you to threaten me?.... “ready to be kicked out. You always so loose with facts”.
Ready to be kicked out, dont threaten me, I was sharing my concerns about Thailand and the imposters that are here, I’ve had enough of people like you and so has Thailand, this is why the officials have chosen to enforce the rules.
Thailand needs good people here not law breakers..
 
It was clear in the interview that people who can show a statement with 65K a month comply, so the people that comply can stay (Yes, there will always be people who will dispute the facts, not listen or beleive what is spoken, every day they disagree that e=mc2, they say that the world is flat so forth. I always believe the professionals.)
 
I speak the truth, if you can’t handle it remove yourself from this site.
 
You’re obviously one of the illegals for your stupid reply.
 
Best you call it a day mate and go back home.
It wasn't clear. We were misled about the current acceptance of income applications without embassy letters. We were offered a slippery weak tea confirmation that the enforcement rule for no letters would actually be changed nationwide. You'd have to be a fool to be satisfied with that.

yes and we're all fools believing the world is round.

what would make you satisfied (yes i know obtaining PR...not going to happen), you are here as a visitor, what was spoken is what we have to go by.

dont compound the negatives, too many children here for you to influence.

Actually, once implimented and understood  it will make life for everyone easier..  this was out interview with the British Embassy..  makes it very clear.. I think anyway ????

So what's going to happen now Tommy?

 

Let me tell you. Many people will have listened to your show and are now safe in the knowledge that if they diligently deposit 65k baht in their Thai bank accounts every month they will be fine.

 

They will do this for the next 12 months and turn up at the IO, bank book in hand, and try to renew their visa extensions.

 

The IO will refuse the extension, telling them that they need an embassy letter or proof that they have had 800k baht in their Thai bank account for the last 3 months. Realising that this is impossible they will then say, "but, but, Tommy Dee said....." at which point the immigration officer will fall about on the floor laughing.

 

He will then pick himself up and cancel their visa and order them to book the next flight back to Blighty.

 

You, Tommy Dee, will have no doubt played your part in separating numerous expats from their families.

 

Well done mate, are you proud of yourself?

I thought the interview was fair and challenging.

Those that are genuine have had the 65k baht month salary option removed from them. Those that are bad and have used a visa agent to " create" a fictitious bank account with 800k baht in it, still have that option.

 

So it's good guys out, bad guys in. Or do you suggest that those of us who've played it by the book become bad guys?

I'm blaming the embassy because it's 100% their fault.

Things don't go our way? They've withdrawn the service. A bit more than "things don't go our way".

I suppose we should blame ourselves for being born British.

No, no ,no, here we go again, feeling sorry for yourself.

If you must blame someone, blame it on the guys abusing the system, not contributing to the economy, false declarations etc.

How does the farang riding around with his wife on the noodle cart contribute, a Thai can do that just as well.

Thailand is very lucky, people are knocking at the door wanting to live in this beautiful country, they can be selective.

It's foolish to think the system will not change, why have you no plan B, C or D.

For those Thaivisa posters who demonstrate so often that they cannot read, this development is nothing to do with the Embassy refusing to provide a service any longer, it is Thailand's Immigration asking the Embassy to do something that is impossible for them to do, something that the Embassy has never done before! 

 

The British Embassy has never confirmed or guaranteed that any incomes shown by British citizens are genuine.  Read your previous income letters if you don't believe me.   How can the Embassy provide a service that they cannot fulfill?

You'll find this great information will not sink in, the blame will continue sadly.

Aww that sucked, I’m a ways off from retiring but understand the panic, wait until they also require you guys to have proof of a 40,000baht plus health care plan every year.

 

I'm not retiring, I work offshore and over the years I came back every 28days. I recently turned 50 and chose not to abuse the loophole and went down the 800k baht retirement visa option. 

Seems to be some confusion here.

I own a couple of condos and all the electricity meters are in my name, these electricity charges are paid directly to PEA.

I take it if you rent an apartment the electricity rates are set out in your contract.

So I gather if owner occupied or you have a decent landlord you can pay directly to PEA.

The water charges are always paid to the condo management and have a minimum use, i think 100 baht per month.

Please correct me if this is not the case.

Doesn't want us here, please explain.

they dont want deadbeats here, makes sense to me.

The embassy can NOT Change immigration law!

 

They can change internal policy.

 

Why is that so difficult to understand?

 

Now where is your link to thai immigration backing up your statement... Nope didn't think so.

Everything has changed.  I dont use a Thai bank account, so how do I prove I transferred money here?  Well I'm not dead yet,  and I manage to pay my rent and utilities, so I guess I must get living expenses from somewhere. 

How on earth can you live here and not use a Thai bank account. 

Yes as a tourist this is possible. 

Bring on the new lawa, let's get the quality visitors that Thailand deserves.
