Well I cannot say as I always just left the 400k year round earning interest in a Thai account but.... That proof from a Thai bank showing you had those funds coming in each & every month would likely satisfy wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai immigration has never and does not now require full import of claimed income, monthly or any other period. Such a requirement is onerous for a large portion of people that DO have the income they claim. Yes..yes...of course a letter is needed for those not showing import of 65k a month thru Thai banks but, You have a sky is falling fever in many of these threads...but it is unlikely any requirement of FULL IMPORT of claimed income as you keep claiming without proof...again in so many threads. The most that would be required of proof would be the 40or65k THB depending on if your married to a Thai national or not. Or the simpler 400-800 in a bank As for your other claim of it being "onerous for a large portion of people that DO have the income they claim." How so?? If as you say they DO have the income?? Again these are not large amounts of money & most would use more than 40-65kthb per month in normal Thai living anyway Truth is only the fake types Big Joke is looking for will fret this storm in a teacup & they should have left long ago anyway.

I do not need a Thai bank account. So your using an atm in Thailand & have receipts, Isn't that proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Immigration regulations clearly state that you need a Letter of income/affirmation of income/ statutory declaration as proof of income for the income system for both the retirement and marriage extension and you will never change it and it does not matter how much you try to scare monger it only shows that you do not know what you are talking about 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheungWan Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Spidey said: I have no doubt. It's surprised and saddened me, nay disgusted me that a number of TVF posters have revelled in the plight of their fellow expats. "I'm alright, up yours" seems to be the order of the day. "I can afford to keep 800k in the bank, if you can't, bye bye, we don't want you here" isn't an attitude that I would have expected, but then again...….. Some guys just too full of it. Have I revelled? No. Do I use the 800k lump sum method for my visa? No. What I do though is appreciate the work of the Embassy in the face of the self-appointed whingers who are quite happy to push their negative speculations into self-evident 'truths' and then get the hump when someone bothers to point out their nonsenses. Phew! Feel quite better after that............... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand kick all who used that method previously out? Come On...know more? What do you "know" You know an old method may be closed..you really think no substitutes will be allowed?
