mellow1 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 My friend needs to show proof of income. He has his funds directly deposited into a Thai bank monthly from abroad. If I recall correctly, he should be able to go to his bank and get a statement showing these deposits from abroad. What is this income statement called in Thai? This would save him a trip to Bangkok in order to get a letter from his embassy. He has a visa based on him supporting his 2 children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 He either shows an income from abroad with a letter from his embasy OR he shows he has enough money in the bank, for the required time, with a bankbook and bank letter. A bank cannot certify income into the account. Some embassies will allow to apply for the letter by mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Embassy may require printout of page of a bank statement, showing funds deposited into account, as does Canadian Embassy American Embassy does not require this. Experience based on previous retirement Non O using monthly income method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow1 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 When money is transfered into your Thai Bank Account from overseas, it has a code in the bank book. I am with Bangkok Bank, and when I did it this way years ago, the bank would give me a letter (100 or 200 Baht) showing that. I never had to go to the Embassy. Now I just keep the required amount, but he cannot afford to do that. Of course it might have changed. Also the bank doesn't know what he is talking about.

ubonjoe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Nothing has changed. The requirement for a letter from embassy has been in effect for quite some time. The only a letter from bank that is accepted or required is to confirm the amount in the bank for the money in the bank option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 To clarify further, the income requirements are based on proof of income, not proof of transfer into Thailand (which is optional). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
