dallen52 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Just saw this flash up. This letter has previously served as a supporting document for obtaining a Thai retirement or marriage visa. The British Embassy Bangkok is stopping the certification of income letters because it is unable to fulfil the Thai authorities’ requirements to verify the income of British Nationals. British Nationals should now demonstrate that they have an amount of at least 800,000 THB in an account in Thailand for no less than three months prior to the visa application, or a monthly income of at least 65,000 THB transferred into an account in Thailand for a retirement visa. For a marriage visa, the amounts are 400,000 THB in an account in Thailand for no less than three months prior to the visa application, or a monthly income of at least 40,000 THB transferred into an account in Thailand. A bank statement should be used as the supporting document for obtaining a Thai retirement or marriage visa. All British Nationals concerned should note that the last date for income letter applications is 12 December 2018.

Now all we have to do is to show Thai bank statements with the money coming in, rather than having to pay the British Embassy an exorbitant fee to confirm something they don't bother checking.
