smedly Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 posted before but will try again I have up to now used the 800k balance for my 12 month extension, this means that throughout the year up to extension renewal I transfer funds to my Thai bank account (not equal to 65k a month but more like 40k a month) so for the 12 months I transfer 40,000 x 12 = 480k (usually 2x transfers of 240kbaht a year) baht from outside Thailand which should qualify as verifiable income into my Thai bank account regardless of how many transfers it involves, so that should mean my actual Thai bank balance requires an additional 320k baht seasoned for 3 months to tally up to 800k baht of income and balance using the combo method To me this is the simplest way of providing the Thai Immigration with what they want to see - no need for Embassy involvement at all, no need for any additional paperwork, no need for anything other than your Thai bank statement for the previous 12 months - it is all available through your Thai bank account in Thailand This seems a much better solution than anything being used right now Thoughts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post steve73 Posted October 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2018 There must be quite a few British retirees who use the income method that don't post on here (or elsewhere), and could well be unaware of this change.... I think we all need to bring this change to their attention. I've see many comments here that it won't affect anyone until c. June next year since they can get their income letter up to 6 months early... But what if they don't realize until they turn up at the BE a few days before they're planning on extending their visa, only to be told no.. And by then it'll be too late to bring in the funds and season them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would not be going to the UK embassy for the letter since they are only done by mail now. Hopefully they will be going to the webpage to get the latest requirements for the income letter and find out it is no longer possible. If not they would get a letter back from the embassy informing them it is not possible after they mailed the application in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I realize that currently your income doesn't need to actually come into T/L, or that this suggestion would prevent someone "recycling" their cash.

Expect people having problems from January onwards. BTW it doesn't only apply to those who don't visit TVF. There are a number of posters on here that are still convinced that they will be able to turn up at their IO, next year, armed with an armful of evidence that they do have a monthly income and expect to get their visas extended. There's no telling some people.l 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many people (not just Brits) who have plenty of available savings yet prefer to use the income method for a number of reasons (better returns elsewhere, not wanting to keep too much here, etc.), but if this becomes the only way that the Brits can secure their extension then they'll need to do it. I only keep enough savings here simply because I have insufficient income at the present time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used the same bank for 50 years in New York- they know me and I know them- All my pensions are direct deposited in the same account- and drawn out in Thailand as needed- deposits amount to more than 65K per month- can easily prove it- bank summary; ATM cards with slips etc etc. I have had many Thai bank accounts- mostly used when I was working in Thailand. Now-retied for a long time- no need for any Thai Bank other than the ATM to get my money out. The Thai Police Order says I can do it this way- so does the Immigration Act of 1979. While I could bring in said amounts in a lump sum - if forced- some people cannot do this as they do not have an extra 800K lying about but do have the required income stream. That is why the Police Order indicates 800K OR 65K per month. Can they change it- of course- but no real reason to do that. Imm Officers now can and do ask for added proof -they know how to read foreign bank statements in English or Pension Letters in English. If another language can get a translator to put it in Thai or English . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a combination for my last three extensions (prior to that I deposited 800K into the bank for three months) whereby the embassy letter shows an income amount and I have deposited a lump sum in the bank to cover the rest, however this last time, because of the currency fluctuations, the money I had shown/deposited from the pension income did not quite match the 800K, so there was a shortfall, however I also included copies of my bank account which normally has an average of around 100 K in it, so combined it was alright, although the I/O did comment on it. Not quite the same as you have suggested, because I did use the embassy pension/income letter, however I think what you have suggested is a simple to understand solution. In summary though, good solution as I think it is, what you and others have stated is that the Thai immigration Department is only wanting that which it has always wanted, whereas the "change/fault" lies with the British Embassy and that's where the solution should come from, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraud, you seem confused. You must be dreaming as my reply never used that word, rather it addressed a factual issue of fund availability. The income method is my own preferred choice and it is simply done by me providing them (BE) with copies of my UK state pension statement, copies of my other pension providers statements and/or P60s. Very simple and factual as every single document has my NI number on it and my Thai address. If they requested I could of course EMS the originals but the BE never request that only copies via emails. It would be good next time if Thai immigration would accept production of these original documents in lieu of the BE letter, but lets see next year.

Thailand Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Irrespective of what the BE says or does not say I guess there has been no confirmation or otherwise from Thai immigration to say what they will do and will not do and under what circumstances so I guess at the moment as far as extensions of stay based on monthly income or a combination of that and lump sum is simply speculation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told by one IO as of yesterday that they will not accept documentary proof without the letter, period unless the Thai lae is changed to permit it. I actually can see the reason for the Income affidavit to support those who do not want to bring the 800 k into the country. What I can't see is the requirement for the letter from your bank that confirms that you have 800k in your account if you use the bank deposit method. Why have the letter if you are also required to present a copy of you bak book updated the same day that not only confirms the balance but shows the activity over the required seasoning period.

And by then it'll be too late to bring in the funds and season them. Very good point. I have been using the BE income confirmation letter over the last few years, after initially using the 800k cash in the bank option. Last year I used the email option to submit the required documents to the BE and received the Letter a few days later. Given the change of policy from BE it surely would take very little effort for BE to email all Brits, at the very least, who, in the past, have used this email service to apply for the Income Letter. The fact that I have received no notification direct from the BE clearly suggests this has not been done. In my case, my RE expires early May and I would normally apply to the BE around Feb/Mar time. Clearly this would be too late, given their current 12 December application deadline. But I would also be too late to change to a 800k in the bank option as well as the, currently problematic, regular income in a local bank proof. If not for TV I, and I suspect many others of the 3,000 affected, may have been completely unaware until it was too late. Checking up on any change to the BE requirements would also have likely taken place too late to allow a change of option. For the BE to act in such a completely unprofessional way on this very important issue is really disgraceful and just shows their absolute disdain for their fellow citizens. As I noted earlier, even the Austrian consul in Pattaya was aware of this change by 20 September, if not earlier. Whereas the BE only chose to officially advise those who needed to know in October. But, even then, ignoring the opportunity to email those who had previously used this method to submit the application. Yes, registering with the BE would likely have provided that information. But, the fact is that not all Brits are registered, for whatever reason. So that cannot be seen as any excuse for not taking additional appropriate action. After all. they have had five months to 'plan' for this!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdhm Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 19 hours ago, steve73 said: Very few expats (or even Thais, IME) have a current account, unless working in a well paid regular job. Everyone has a basic "savings" account with an ATM/debit card, and uses it very much like a UK current account. You can set up regular payments (SO's) or variable direct debits for electricity, etc, make payments to it from abroad or local cash, and take out usually around 30k per day (which can be increased if required). The only things it won't give you is a Credit card or allow an overdraft. You can update your book as and when you require (I do mine one per year ready for my extn), but online statements go back 6months, so easy to keep track. As to sending money from your UK bank - take a look at Transferwise. You fix the exchange rate when you send, you get mid-market rates usually around 1-2% better than doing a bank transfer, cost is just 1.50 per transfer plus 0.55% (or about 6GBP on a 1k transfer), and your funds usually arrive the next WORKING day. Check the TW rate at EXACTLY the same time as you do a UK card withdrawal, and make the comparison later when you see how much GBP is cost you. I'd be surprised if you'd not be getting about 1bt/GBP less than TW would have given (i.e. around 1000bt on a 1kGBP transfer)... every little helps..! Hi steve73, Thanks for the info . I have just looked into Transferwise and yes it would be cheapest method for me. However, I do have a couple of concerns: 1) I have found several recent reports that some have had their account deactivated for no apparent reason or explanation and in a few cases whilst Transferwise were holding transferred funds. 2) The way they say they work work seems to suggest that they get their local branch in Thailand to actually transfer the amount to Thai Accounts. If that is the case, will it not seem to Thai Imm. as though the funds came from funds form within Thailand rather than outside. If so this would not look good as it may seem like one is earning in Thailand. Maybe I am missing something in my understanding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To send more than 1K you need to register and supply copies of your passport and proof of address to TW. Those held transfers, are due to trying to send more than 1K without proof of ID. The transfer is held until you supply the required ID. 2. Although it's paid locally into your Thai bank account, it shows as an FTT deposit in your passbook. Foreign Telegraphic Transfer, proof the funds came from abroad. Edited October 17, 2018 by Tanoshi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen any complaints about their service - not to say there haven't been any though. They do tell you to use the UK (or other) account you use to register with them to make the payments from.. perhaps trying to use another account would cause problems... Or there may have been suspicion of fraudulent activity. 2. ) You are correct - or that's my understanding as well - it arrives in your Thai bank as a local transfer. I've been using them for around a year now (1 or 2k each time), sometimes it's described on my on-line statement as coming from a "Dummy Account", others as "International Transfer". I'm not sure why it changes, but you can print a TW "transaction report" each time that clearly details the source of funds and destination, which would tie-in with your Thai bank statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
