Awk Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I have not heard about this before, so thought I'd post and perhaps save others an extra trip to the immigration office. Yesterday I was at the Chiang Mai immigration offices, with what I thought was all the papers required for my first one year non-imm-o extension based on marriage, including a statement from my embassy that my salary, in my western country, fulfilled the salary requirements by immigration here in Thailand. To my surprise, the statement from the embassy was however not enough. I also needed a similar statement from the company I am employed by in my western country. I tried to query her about it, and she said that was the regulations, and showed me where it was written. Don't know if this is a Chiang Mai-only thing, but I have not heard about it before.

gotlost Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 They normally do not ask but they can and in your case they did. They are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Not unheard of, incase of certain countries. The US doesn't check and just make you swear a statement regarding your income. In those cases it is not unknown that immigration wants further proof of your income. For embasies that do actually check your income with tax papers it is much more rare to be asked for this. So the question is, what is your nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m from Northern Europe, and had to show proof of my income to the embassy, including last years tax receipt and last three months payslips. I.e. I am not from one of the countries where the embassy staff will trust you on your word in this matter, as e.g. USA seems to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
