Read my post again.

 

It is down to what your local immigration office deem to be 'proof of income'.  The option exists under immigration rules - it is a question of interpretation by I/O's.

 

Bangkok Bank letters have been accepted at some offices - fact!

So you say.

Can any BM confirm that this has been done by THEM.

The statement IS correct.

 

The onus of proof rests with you - and what your local immigration office will accept as proof.

 

Many immigration offices want a bank letter 'certifying' that you receive 65k EVERY month. Many banks will not do this, Bangkok bank is one that will.

Sorry it is not.

I was told that whatever I produced would not be accepted as ONLY the 800,000tb in the bank OR a letter from the Embassy would be accepted .

I have transferred 1800GBP Every month for the past several years from my HSBC account.

I have posted this to warn BM that was my encounter its not a big deal for me as can go the 800,000tb route.

so it maybe prudent for anyone thinking they can go the 65,000tb a month into the bank for the last 12 months go check as apposed to relying  on comments on a forum and getting a shock on the day of renewal.

I wrote this on another topic regarding Transferwise.

 

This is the Jomtien Immigration only, I was down on Monday and discuss the problem and was told " FTT is needed if you are using the monthly income method if you are using the 800,000 it isn't necessary "  just has to show the money in bank two months prior.

Can I ask who told you that as I went yesterday to ask about this and was told no only 800,000 in bank allowed or letter from Embassy .

For a extension based upon retirement it depends upon which financial proof you are using. If using the money in the bank option the 800k baht has to be in the bank for 2 months before your apply apply and then for 3 months after then it can be lowered to 400k baht until you top up the account to 800k baht for the next extension. If using the 65k income option it depends upon whether you can get proof of income from your embassy or not. If not you have to prove the 65k baht is going into a Thai bank from abroad to apply.

For marriage it is still 400k baht in the bank for 2 months or proof of 40k baht by way of proof from a embassy or going into a Thai bank from abroad every month.

I have for the past 10 years used my UK Veterans pension statement without any problems.

Due to the British Embassy no longer providing this service I will need to show evidence of my monthly transfers from the UK HSBC to my Thailand account Kasikorn.

My Retirement visa extension is due in Dec 2019 So yesterday I printed out all the monthly Advice of debit statements from my UK HSBC account That show all ref and both bank codes and full details of the transfer also stating reason for transfer ( living fees ) from May 2018 in order to check all would be ok in Dec.

I met with an immigration officer in Pattaya and showed him the statements the immigration office told me that the statements would not be accepted and I would need to have 800.000tb in the bank or a letter from my Embassy confirming my pension.

I told him I could also proved a letter from my bank confirming the payments he again said no it would not be accepted.

So it appears your statement:

( If not you have to prove the 65k baht is going into a Thai bank from abroad to apply.)

is incorrect.
