chiang mai Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Walk into any bank and ask for a bank draft or a cashiers cheque, they are effectively the same thing, all done in three minutes or so, no pre-requisites to getting one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evermaat Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 is the bank draft for the fee payment, or does it contain the full 400,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Won't the consulate take cash for the "proof of income" letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAN2SIN2BKK Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Won't the consulate take cash for the "proof of income" letter? Or won't they accept credit card payment any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokburning Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Where is this India?? This is not your home country? Your home country and you are asking us about drafts in your country???? What am I missing - sorry. Emb/Consulates do this to cut down on issues of theft, keeps things organized. How and where yo obtain a draft will wholly depend on what country you are in but you can start by walking into a bank and say: I need a bank draft or bank check.

Gone Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't get how a bank draft can show proof of income? If you mean getting a bank record to show proof of income then yes you can go into your bank and pay 300 baht for a print out and depending how busy the bank is you might get it later that day or as I had to do go back the next day.
