jerry921 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 For US citizens, if you use the notarized-statement-of-income from the embassy to get an extension of your permit to stay, is that a one-time thing or do you need to get a new letter every year?

inThailand Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 A new one every year. They also like it recent, as I remember less than 30 days old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 They are only, usually, good for 6 months max, so you need a new one every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying Thai immigration will accept a 5+ month old income letter? Edited February 18, 2018 by inThailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry921 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 It stands to reason that you'd need a new one, but I had a vague recollection otherwise that I will now chalk up as a false memory. Thanks for the confirmation of common sense. And, for US citizens, these can only be obtained in the US embassy in Bangkok, am I recalling that part correctly? If you live elsewhere in Thailand you have to travel to Bangkok or use the other alternative, the 800k Thai bank account with appropriate seasoning. (for a non-married retiree like myself).

Immigration will accept one that is up to 6 months old. I have personally used one that was over 4 months old. Been that way since May of 2013.

You can get them at the embassy in Bangkok or the consulate in Chiang Mai. Or at one of the outreaches. Not hard to plan on getting one since the 6 month rule came out. You can plan on getting it along with other trips to Bangkok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth your while printing off the Immigration Directive and showing it to them if they start moaning again about the age of your income letter next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be 12 to 3 pm since that is the hours they had for the most recent outreach in Udon. They have changed the hours to reduce costs. No need for an overnight stay to be there at 8am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
