Just starting to prepare for the usual annual extension of stay, retirement, based on income.

Perusing British Embassy web-site for their latest information and charges, but cannot find any reference to this service.

All I can find is statement below, but this does not make specific reference to the Proof of Income Letter as before.

Also, no reference to payment by Postal Order appears on their web-site.

Any recent experience from members of TV?

Is the service still available?

Doi they still accept postal orders?

Thanks!

Letter confirming pension/income for Thai Immigration

Consular Section is able to issue a standard letter addressed to Thai Immigration confirming your pension / income in order to support the renewal / extension of your retirement visa. The granting of the visa is at the sole discretion of the Thai Immigration authorities not the British Embassy.

Requirements:

• Photocopy of your current British passport
  
• Original evidence of your current pension/income
  
• Your local address to be typed on the letter
  

Please ensure the pension/income evidence you provide is in a form that is simple and easy to understand and contains the key financial amounts that are required for inclusion in the letter.

The standard letter fee is currently Baht 2,250 and payable in cash or a postal order. The letter will be ready for collection in person or sent to you by express mail with an additional postage Baht 100.

If you are unable to contact us in person, please mail us your request stating the total pension amount received monthly/yearly and enclosing the above documents. Kindly make the postal order (available at post offices) payable to the British Embassy and to be cashed at Nana Post Office Bangkok 10112.

Thanks Tafia.
