jubby Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I entered thailand last september on a multiple 'non imm 'O' visa. I'm 41, my wife is thai, the marriage was in the UK, and registered at the local thai government office, we have three children all with dual nat. I was thinking at the time of application of extending using the 400K in the bank rule. It now appears that the emphasis is on a monthly income of 40K baht. With three kids I need close to this anyway ;-). The problem is how do I prove the income, It will be half from rental income (monthly) and the other half from dividends etc.. twice yearly; common sense tells me that it should be possible to show the immigration officer the yearly income and then divide it by twelve. I have a gut feeling that its going to be far more difficult and I should forget it. Someone tell me I'm wrong. cheers, Jubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 You will have to get a letter from the UK Embassy stating your income. What you have to show them I do not know. But some one will put you straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever dealt with them once, a request for a 'marriage Visa' ; nine years ago, worst experience of my life, I generally avoid them like the plague ;-) cheers, Jubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an offshore income. The nice man said a combination of the following would do the trick :- Bank statements Letter from my overseas employer or pension company Employment contract You need to show the same stuff to immigration along with the letter. If you're showing a Thai income, you need the tax receipts, in this case I don't think you need the embassy letter (anyone confirm?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
