Proof of income to who. I realize it's part of application to Canadian embassy for income letter however they cannot verify it. Cut/paste from AI... "The Canadian Embassy in Bangkok will no longer provide income affidavits, also known as income letters, starting April 1, 2025. The embassy cannot verify income and is not legally required to do so. Explanation The embassy's practice of issuing income affidavits was informal and not regulated"

The 12 month extension is an extension to your permission of stay. If you wish to exit Thailand and reenter then you need to purchase a reentry permit to "protect" that permission of stay. A single reentry is 1000b a multi is 3800b

A single reentry permit is 1000b A multiple reentry permit is 3800k

Hells Bells. Big change for Canadian folk. You are not alone. Just joining UK, USA, AU. NZ folk getting nervous?

The thread in the main is concerning folk using agent.. In most cases to not requiring financials. Being patient doesn't help them.

Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? Here is another thread that outlines the process.. https://aseannow.com/topic/1342849-tourist-visa-exempt-then-apply-for-non-o-based-on-marriage/

The OP specifically started thread re Visa based on marriage. DTV as an alternative was posted earlier in thread.

CW can take much longer than one week.

Yes just means trip to your immigration office.

Off topic post removed.

Yes. Replying to too many PM. SCB can provide 12 month bank statement on the spot. Just note it takes lil bit of time. Perhaps 30-40 mins

The bank letter is fine from any branch. The 12 month statement can be requested at any branch. The branch will forward to head office. CW will accept letter and 12 month statement up to 7 days prior. However recommend couple days prior better option.

Reentry Permit has validity from date of issue till expiry of current permission of stay (extension) As for permit at airport....I have obtained many. Typically 10mins. Most ever was 30min. You allow for traffic etc Up to you.

Thinking that advice should be tempered. My most recent at DMK, I couldn't believe how many people were obtaining reentry permit they actually set up bench seating Outside the office. To be fair it still only took about 30 mins. The guy doing overstay desk shared the load so there was 2 on it. BTW I was about the only one providing my own filled in TM8

You have correct advice from Tod. Keep in mind that if for some reason you do not obtain the non O eVisa (abroad) ...You can enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain the Non O at local immigration. However this would involve under consideration period for the Non O application and again for the 12 month extension

In the main the cost of opening Bank Account is for purchase of "insurance" from the bank. The age criteria is 64. So it varies from 4700b (over 64) to 3700b (under 64)

Many (not all) use WISE for transfers. Be aware that only 3 banks have higher limits...here is cut and paste.. "Wise has transfer limits of 2,000,000 THB per transfer to Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn Bank in Thailand. The limit for Siam Commercial Bank is 1,499,999 THB per transfer. For other banks, the limit is 49,999 THB per transfer". Also note that if you are dealing with CW the SCB bank does not have a branch at immigration. BBL cannot issue 12 month bank statement on the spot. I use Kasikorn for those reasons alone.. The higher transfer limit is handy if you ever eg purchase real estate.

Yes. Maneerat is 12,500 for annual extension. 8k with own funds.

With an FD account most immigration offices would be ok with just photocopies of bank book pages.

For annual extensions based on retirement the money in bank is checked retrospectively back to previous extension for compliance

Thinking you will be surprised. The "discount" for you covering the financials is not the significant amount one would imagine..

Not many folk would bother with using agent for hand holding. Extension retirement are very straightforward. The main thing you provide is financial requirements.

That will not be affected. Stick to thread
