UKresonant Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Just finished my Bank Statement downloads and average monthly income summary for the 1400/month requirement (which I may or may not need, but will include to be on the safe side). Quick check of the Royal Thai Embassy website, to make sure I have everything ready to print..OOPs it's now 1500 GBP! Was at 4 month average that would be OK but the last 3 months on the account, is today now 14.22 short, quick. ADHOC pension withdrawal 0.025% should hit the bank next week to fix it...

ubonjoe Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Probably adjusted for a exchange rate change. The old number was out of date since it was posted years ago. They normally do not ask for the financial proof or deny the application if you cannot show any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKresonant Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yes, they state the Visa Fees are going up because of the Exchange rate, but at least they gave a few months warning for that one. Most of my pension, say 75% of it, only varies by a marginal amount per month, but the rest of it is investment based, and difficult to change the staggered quarterly automatic payments, without about 3 months notice.

I'm thinking of doing a marriage visa in UK when I go back, but I don't have a steady income to show (and they don't list the lump-sum as an option, unlike visa extensions here). I thought of writing a covering letter, with bank statement, explaining that I have an equivalent annual amount - but you're saying they might not be too bothered anyway. Well that brings a sigh of relief - I've never known officials in UK to be anything other than 'excruciatingly correct'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask the Embassy they will say that you should provide proof of income/funds, but if you send an application by post without any financial info they will still issue the visa. You just need to provide a copy of your wife's ID and your marriage certificate. I've had two myself without any financials over the last couple of years, and I don't see why a change in fees etc due to the exchange rate should affect anything else. The amount quoted on the website is wrong anyway as there is no way they need to see an income of £1,500 pm to get a non 'O' visa as a spouse/parent.
