The MT103 documents is anything but obscure; It is issued by the receiving bank and is globally accepted as proofs of payment and include all payment details such as date, amount, currency, sender and recipient.

 

So you've been able to retrieve MT103's, somehow/somewhere, and have successfully used them for documenting qualifying foreign transfers in support of an ext/stay?

 

"Globally accepted" is awe-inspiring no doubt, just not sure Thai Imm. will accept or understand them?

 

That said, the Credit Advice/Receipt issued by the receiving bank seems to contain some subset of the MT103 information, and have proven to be acceptable.

I bank with Kasikorn and have no opinion in relation to the second paragraph of your post.

 

Cool. This thread, titled: "BK Bank example of Monthly Income for Retirement Extension" seems to be about Bangkok Bank.

 

Kasikorn does issue Credit Advice/Receipts as well.

 

 

 

 

 

I did my retirement extension based on income at Jomtien on Thursday 2nd May without an embassy letter. I had verified statements stamped and signed by SCB and Bangkok bank and (after a visit to Central Festival) bank letters which I think merely confirmed the account was mine. I had changed to Bangkok bank in December after reading here that it would lead to TransferWise deposits showing as 'International Transfers'. They were full statements for 12 months, not extracted deposits only. Of 15 transfers made in that time only 4 showed as international. Because of this I had taken exhaustive evidence that the funds originated in UK. They didn't ask for it and the documents stayed in my folder. I had also presented occupational and state pension annual statements so It's possible they just accepted that these were the source of the funds transferred. Apart from having to get the bank letters the process was fast and painless!
