I need some help from this forum. My Non-O visa will expire on June 20th. On April 16th I went to Embassy of Canada in Bangkok to process my normal Income Verification as I have had in the past 10 years. I was informed that the Embassy no longer processes these documents since April 1st 2025.
Wow, now what to do? I contacted my friend who also used the embassy to process the Income Verification. He informed me to take my Pension documents (Government Letters of Verification) to Chiang Watthana or my November Embassy Income verification used at my thai bank for Account verification.
Immigration officer informed me that the document cannot be used as it is over 30 days old. I was informed to take my Canadian and Us Government Income Verification to a translation shop and translate to Thai. I did that and returned 2 weeks later to Immigration, waited in cue for 1 hour 44 minutes only to be told by officer that this is not correct. Must have official Embassy document! Good thing the embassy gave me a copy of the official Government communication to Thai Department of Foreeign Affairs which was sent to Thai D.F.A as well as Thai Immigration specifically stating the change in policy and to assist any canadian citizen with income verification.
This officer informed me no! cannot use, go to Thai Lawyer and get the document notarized. Question, am I wasting my time here? Has anyone gone through the same negative response from Thai Immigration? Let me know the real process.
Thank You!
