Income affidavit & monthly statement question

[ElephantEgo]

What exactly does immigration look at with regards to showing the 40,000 THB per month funds coming in for the O extension (is it just a total of 12x40,000 = 480,000 THB moving around in an account over a year e.g. if I have >480,000 THB of withdrawals and credits in a year, I can just print the bank statement and it's sufficient as supporting evidence)?

 

Have any Americans used the US Embassy income affidavit service for their marriage- or retirement-visa extension in Phuket recently?

 

Just wondering if everything is still okay, because next week I plan to fly to Bangkok to visit the embassy and get my letter.

 

Thanks for any advice!

The only thing I can recall for Phuket is that they have asked for is some proof of how you get your money. The will accept a ATM/Debit card or a bank book showing money coming into the country.

Hi Ubonjoe, when was that?

 

In the past I only had to show a copy of my Thai ATM card along with the US embassy income affidavit. How can a Bank Book show money coming into the country? It just shows debits and credits but doesnt specify sources. But maybe that is sufficient?

I did write or in my post.

My Bangkok Bank book shows many monthly transfers coming into the country with the FTT code beside them that stands for foreign telex transfer.

Okay and when was this for you Joe?

If you go to Bangkok Bank online you can print out your last 6 months of transactions that show all International transfers.
