I'm sure this has been covered on the forums but as the British Embassy don't issue pension confirmation letters, what is the alternative?

Transferring 65KBaht/month from the UK into Thai bank account or having  800KBaht in a Thai bank account.

By transferring the required income into a Thai bank account from abroad for 12 months prior to the date of application.

It has been discussed in many topics.

Thanks, Ubonjoe. You always come up with the goods.

I picked this up from immigration. How do you interpret the item 'Before 1998 and intending to retire?' I have been coming to Thailand since 1985. I married legally in 1987 to my Thai wife in 1987 and have lived in Thailand using a marriage visa until 2008 when I went onto a retirement visa. I read it as having to have a retirement visa since 1998. My friend disagrees and says the intention to retire was there and that I have continuous visas from before 1998, so should qualify for the lower financial requirement. Your opinion please as talking to you is easier and certainly more valuable in sensible replies.

If you already had a retirement visa before 1998 and if you've held an extension of your permission to stay based on that visa continuously since then, you require the lesser amount
