Last year I read here about a new policy requiring retirement extension embassy letters (statement of income 65k baht) be taken to a Thai government agency for certification of the Embassy signatures. Sorry, I don't remember the name of the government agency...the Bureau of something as I recall. If memory serves, this policy was to take affect on 31 October 2007. As my renewal would take place prior to that I just made a mental note of it for the following year's renewal.

I also remember something about a brochure being published and made available at the immigration offices that explained all of this. Last time I was at Immigration I asked about it, but no one seemed to know what I was talking about.

I need to renew again in a couple of weeks, so I'd like to get this nailed down. Any information about it would be appreciated.

Please read my post about my experience last week. I did not have to certify anything and I used a Income letter more than 3 months old.

There is no such requirement.

Thanks
