ikebukuro5 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Is it still possible to get a letter form Canadian embassy for retirement visa income proof? I heard UK and quite a few countries have stopped, but what about Canada? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The Canadian embassy will still allow you to do a statutory declaration to prove you income. The want to see proof of income when you do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of proof do they need to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an income letter from your embassy it is my understanding that this is one of the routes for acquiring a retirement extension. It states that I receive a monthly pension income of xxxx (notarized) with supporting document...which is more then 65000 baht per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was going to look into this in a few years for my marriage extension. I was also under the impression that this letter absolved you of bring funds into Thailand for extensions. Then in a thread a few weeks back it was mentioned otherwise which I found confusing. My plan is when I'm ready to use this method (which I don't think will change like the other embassies because we actually have to prove our incomes to the C.E.) I will call the embassy and visit my local immigration office to get a straight lowdown from both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakeopete Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Last year I took my pay stub and bank statement. I was told my pay stub was enough. I also asked if there were any plans to follow the UK and stop the affidavits. The answer was no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nongkhai Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 RE: the 12 month Extension. For this, I've been using the Canadian Embassy/Consulate notorised Letter of Income for ten years now with zero problems from them. Takes about half an hour unless a long queue (almost never). The very best proof ~ according to the Consulate ~ is your latest Canadian tax return. I've also been greeted at Thai Immigration with no problems using this option. It's all they've ever asked for. However, things have changed lately at Thai Imm. My next Extension trip is September and I'm not 100% certain whether they will also ask for more financial info on top of my Embassy letter. I.E. a Thai bank letter showing 65,000B monthly, or 800,000 in the bank. Anyone know the answer to this query? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a bank statement from a bank in Canada showing money going in or something from your pension provider. Basically it would be the same proof you showed the embassy. They certainly will not ask for proof of 65k baht going in a Thai bank or 800k baht in the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
