mpdkorat Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi I have been living on a retirement visa for quite a few years, getting the income letter from the British Embassy. This year I messed up and applied for the letter too late. will Thai Immigration give you a few more days if you are late, just a few days will be fine.

ubonjoe Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 You will pay an overstay fine of 500 baht for everyday after the date your extension of stay (it is not a visa) ends. You can only be a few days late or they might refuse to accept the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) For the OP, how long does it take to get that letter? Do they verify the income you state is true? The US embassy is the same day. Just curious. Edited May 21, 2018 by bkk6060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Application is done by post tho I have heard you can email the documents to them now and the letter can be used for approx 6mths after issue so no real need to miss the date.

I guess the US people are lucky on this then. Took me 30 minutes last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brits can do it via mail (or online too?), we have to take a trip to the embassy, or go to the outreach circus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbing Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The British embassy has a stated turn round of 10 working days, but in practice for the past ten years or more for me it's been by return of post, maybe plus one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, too, has been generally my experience - up until last week, though, when I received my latest income letter 9 working days after the Embassy had received my application!
