hi guys, quick question. i need to get a bank draft for payment to my consulate in Bangkok, for proof of income letter to extend my non-o marriage visa in Thailand.

never got one. so is it easy to get. can i just walk into the thai bank and get one quickly or do I have to order one ?

sorry if this has been covered before but I can,t find it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

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.

As this is a bank question will move to that forum.

thanks chiang mai, much appreciated.

thanks

is the bank draft for the fee payment, or does it contain the full 400,000 baht.

Won't the consulate take cash for the "proof of income" letter?

Or won't they accept credit card payment any more?

Or barter beans perhaps, no, no and no are the answers.

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.

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.

The OP wants to buy a bank draft to pay for consulate services (proof of income letter) in Thailand, can you guys not read or what!

Interesting. USA Consul in CM takes both US and Thai currency. Nice folks too.
