Today I was looking on the British Embassy in Bkk Web page, and saw the announcement below.

So if you have not already done so, and you need your Visa in January 19, and you were using the method, it is now time to get your cash over to Thailand.

It just keeps getting worse and worse out here.

 

From 1 January 2019, the British Embassy Bangkok will no longer be providing British Nationals with letters confirming their income. 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 marriage visas British Nationals should demonstrate that they have an amount of at least 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. A bank statement should be used as the supporting document for obtaining a Thai retirement or marriage visa.

No sure how you missed the big red "Breaking News" for this topic posted yesterday.

There is already thread about this, with over 500 replies, no need for another.
