I thought that the uk was not issueing the letters for monthly income.  How does one prove it and use it with Thai immigration. 

Er bank statements - that show it's coming from OUTSIDE thailand?

Unfortunately UK,USA,AU governments threw us under the bus and do not endorse income letters.

I do not want my government certifying unsubstantiated claims for anyone, nor do I want them spending taxpayer money to substantiate such claims.

As far as I'm concerned, yes.

I don't doubt that. You claimed our governments threw us under the bus by not certifying unsubstantiated income letters. I see it differently, whatever.

@Scouse123

I suggest you seek assistance by PM to @DrJack54 and @Red Phoenix

 

These guys can give you your friends options clearly and without bias.

The open forum, whilst often very helpful, often resorts into name calling, miscommunication and poor taste humour.

Thank you

Not enough - if he's getting 200 pounds a week nowhere near the 65k baht a month (unless a miracle happens).

He's got 50K GBP as well

Btw I am mid 50’s, insured through Luma & pay around $100 a month with a mid sized deductible. Good health. Never had a claim, but it looks legit so far. He would need to maintain roughly $20k usd in a home country bank to qualify for a renewal every two years.

Talk him into the depositing the 800k in the bank or tell him to spend the 15-30k a year on an agent. 

 

To be clear, the 800K is not "locked up", you can take it out any time you want, you just will not be able to use it to renew the visa. 

2 months before 3 months after and 400k all year is kind of locked up !!

In much the same way that you are kind of literate. (just kidding) what I said was:

 

''To be clear, the 800K is not "locked up", you can take it out any time you want, you just will not be able to use it to renew the visa." 

 

If you NEED the money you can take it out.

No I am talking about 830 in the morning.  Just before lunch means you have to sit until they finish the morning people then go to lunch

As far as I knew they charged the person requesting certification for such a service.

Go and see a Visa Agent - they have ways "around" the 800k Deposit to get a retirement visa.
