OA retirement extension

[LudwigK]

I use the 65.000 a month option already for years.

Proof1: letter from consul

            =  I understand!

Proof2: bank book and 1 year transactions in copy

             = WHY ?  MUST I PROOF that I transfer 65.000 x 12= 780000 year.

I can not read anywhere the REASON !! 

Thanks for help!

The reason is largest foreign consulates in Thailand no longer issue a letter of income as they are responsible for that letter being true rather than the person in question and as privacy issues often prevent such proof have decided to not confirm any income letters.  So in that case Thailand allows proof of monthly transfers as an alternative.

Why not.

If your 65k+ transfers are genuine then just show immigration your bank book with photocopies.

You do realize the funds can be withdrawn. 

 

Note; some immigration offices may require banks statements.

Because that nearly the reqired 800k/y which must be proofed also:).

The Immigration rule requires a confirmation letter from your embassy OR proof of depositing 65k per month from a foreign source in your Thai bank. 

 

If you have an embassy letter, then Immigration will most likely not require anything more than that and the usual bank letter confirming your account (required for both 65k monthly income or 800k in bank).  Some may require a photocopy of the identity page of your bank passbook.

 

Nationals from the UK, USA, and Australia have to use the proof of monthly deposit method as their embassies no longer issue the "income" letter.
