acces denied to enter in thailand
For those unaware. Section 12, subsection 2, of the Thai Immigration Act, B.E. 2522 (1979), states that aliens are excluded from entering the Kingdom if they have "no appropriate means of living on entering the Kingdom." This means they must be able to financially support themselves while in Thailand. It's the catch-all "insufficient funds" reason. -

Report Norway Halts Income Letters at Thai Embassy, Retirees Affected
Picture courtesy of Royal Norwegian Embassy in Bangkok Norwegian retirees in Thailand will soon lose access to income confirmation letters from the Norwegian Embassy in Bangkok. This change means retirees must adapt to Thai visa rules, which require direct financial proof. The move aligns with Thai immigration reforms and Norway's focus on core consular services. The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the phase-out plan in response to a parliamentary inquiry. Minister Espen Barth Eide confirmed the service cut, explaining that it is not a legally mandated duty. The embassy will discontinue the letters in a year, providing time for adaptation. Thai immigration practices have shifted, previously accepting foreign embassy letters, now requiring verification through Thai bank accounts. Thai authorities favour either a balance of 800,000 THB or monthly deposits of at least 65,000 THB. Many countries, including the UK, USA, and Australia, have already stopped offering similar services. The Norwegian Ministry advises citizens to consult the Thai Immigration Bureau and Thai Embassy websites for accurate guidance. The decision aligns with a broader international trend. Norwegian retirees in Thailand must prepare for direct compliance with Thai financial requirements going forward. The recent government white paper further clarifies these consular changes. It confirms Norway's alignment with other Western countries' consular practices in Thailand. This shift signifies a new norm for the verification of income for Thai visas.
