New visa requirements

[DUNROAMIN]

Hi, looking through all the new regulations for extensions of stay it appears they have omitted the combination policy of the 800,000B. I remember reading you could have say eg, 500,00B in the bank and an income to bring the total to 800,000 +, Anybody have an answer??.

It is there but it can be problematic at some offices. ESPECIALLY if you can't get an embassy income letter. So please check with your local immigration office for their current rules for the combo method especially if you're one of the unlucky nationalities that can't get the letters anymore.

Yes read that recently, 500kTHB in a deposit account, and statements of income taking it up to more than 800k THB total, with half the deposit amount remaining static in the bank.  (Transfers from overseas, monthly, for AUS, UK, & US nationals)

 

The Combo was also listed on the e-visa system for the UK, for O-A visa application, it was there up until the health insurance event of the 31st Oct, when I lost interest in that possible route. the Embassy person I spoke to, expressed a strong preference that the deposit should be in one account , and the income stream in another! (the visa appl. did not have the keep half the deposit in the bank of course).

OK thanks for the info, opened my eyes and found the reference, however, who knows these days what the hell they want from one office to another they can change so much.
