Verify UK pension

[elfpattaya]

I would like to extend my retirement visa using by the pension income method. I have been told that my pensions need to be verified. In the past this was done by British Embassy/Consulate, but they no longer do that.

Does anyone know how i can get these pensions verified, and do they still need to be verified.

I use the income method. Immigration (Jomtien) require:

1. Proof of source of income (letter from my UK pension provider confirming my annual pension)

2. Letter from my Thai bank, stating that I have an account with them

3. 12 month bank statement, showing regular monthly deposits from abroad - minimum 65,000 baht each month.

4. A second letter from my Thai bank, listing each of the monthly deposits.

5. Copies of every page of my bank book (I don't keep the book up to date, but that doesn't seem to matter)

Thanks chickenslegs, so no verification needed, seems to be a lot of bank letters. Lets just hope my bank branch is knowledgeable and helpful.

I have the original letter from the UK DWP for my Government pension, and have monthly statements from my other pension providers.

Any idea of the earliest date this can be done, my present extension ends early September?

You are not addressing the question. 

Seems you are currently on extensions using (guessing) money in bank method..

To change to income method you would need to show proof of 12 monthly transfers of 65k +

Can you do that?
